Demos

We create a random distribution, then generate 1 million numbers, drawing histograms as we go.

// Normal (μ = 0, σ = 1.0)
var f = Prob.normal(0, 1.0);

// Uniform (min = 0, max = 1.0)
var f = Prob.uniform(0, 1.0);

// Exponential (λ = 1.0)
var f = Prob.exponential(1.0);

// Log-normal (μ = 0, σ = 1.0)
var f = Prob.lognormal(0, 1.0);

// Poisson (λ = 4.0)
var f = Prob.poisson(4.0);

// Zipf (s = 1, N = 100)
var f = Prob.zipf(1, 100);
