|---|---|---|
 | Capacity |
Gets the length of the vectors returned by this instance.
|
| Current |
Gets the current vector in the sequence.
|
| Dimension |
Gets the length of the vectors returned by this instance.
|
| ReturnNewInstance |

Remarks
Use the RandomSequence class as the base class for classes that
implement pseudo-random sequences.
Quasi-random sequences, also called low discrepancy sequences, are sequences of vectors
that progressively cover a multi-dimensional space with points that are uniformly distributed.
They are used in quasi-Monte Carlo simulations, in the evaluation of multi-dimensional integrals,
and in global optimimization.
RandomSequence and its derived classes implement IEnumerable. This means instances can be used in for...each loops. The Current property returns a GeneralVector that contains the current point. Depending on the value of the ReturnNewInstance property, a new GeneralVector instance is created for each point, or the new elements are copied into an existing instance.
The RandomSequence class is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly. Instead, use one of the derived classes:
