Fills part of a list with random numbers from the distribution.

Namespace: Extreme.Statistics.Distributions
Assembly: Extreme.Numerics.Net40 (in Extreme.Numerics.Net40.dll) Version: 4.2.11333.0 (4.2.12253.0)

Syntax

C#
public void Sample( Random random, IList<double> samples, int startIndex, int length )

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Sub Sample ( _ random As Random, _ samples As IList(Of Double), _ startIndex As Integer, _ length As Integer _ )

Visual C++
public: void Sample( Random^ random, IList<double>^ samples, int startIndex, int length )

F#
member Sample : random:Random * samples:IList<float> * startIndex:int * length:int -> unit

Parameters

random: Type: System..::..Random
A Random object that specifies the uniform random number generator that is to be used to generate the samples.

samples: Type: System.Collections.Generic..::..IList<(Of <(<'Double>)>)>
A IList<(Of <<'(Double>)>>).

startIndex: Type: System..::..Int32
The zero-based index at which to begin filling the list.

length: Type: System..::..Int32
The number of samples to provide.

Remarks

This method fills a block of length elements of samples, starting at index startIndex with random samples from the distribution.
