) As Double

public:
static double Sample(
	Random^ random, 
	double shape1, 
	double shape2, 
	double scale
)

static member Sample : 
        random : Random * 
        shape1 : float * 
        shape2 : float * 
        scale : float -> float 

Parameters

random

Type: SystemRandom
The Random derived random number generator used to generate the sample.

shape1

Type: SystemDouble
The first shape parameter of the distribution. Must be strictly greater than zero.

shape2

Type: SystemDouble
The second shape parameter of the distribution. Must be strictly greater than zero.

scale

Type: SystemDouble
The scale parameter. Must be strictly greater than zero.

Return Value

scale must be strictly greater than zero.

This method is useful when only a single random sample is required, or if the parameters of the distribution change often. To obtain a large number of samples from a distribution with identical parameters, create an instance of the class and call the Sample(Random, Double, Double, Double) method repeatedly.
