Description

Module for transforming a list of uniform random variables into a list of normal random variables.

Synopsis

Documentation

normal_clt Source

Arguments

:: Int	Number of uniforms to sum
-> (Double, Double)	(mu,sigma)
-> [Double]	U
-> [Double]	X

Normal random variables via the Central Limit Theorm (not explicity given, but see Ross)

If mu=0 and sigma=1, then this will generate numbers in the range [-n2,n2]

normal_bm Source

Arguments

:: (Double, Double)	(mu,sigma)
-> [Double]	U
-> [Double]	X

Normal random variables via the Box-Mueller Polar Method (Ross, pp 450--452)

If mu=0 and sigma=1, then this will generate numbers in the range [-8.57,8.57] assuing that the uniform RNG is really giving full precision for doubles.

normal_ar Source

Arguments

:: (Double, Double)	(mu,sigma)
-> [Double]	U
-> [Double]	X

Acceptance-Rejection Method (Ross, pp 448--450)

If mu=0 and sigma=1, then this will generate numbers in the range [-36.74,36.74] assuming that the uniform RNG is really giving full precision for doubles.

normal_r Source

Arguments

:: (Double, Double)	(mu,sigma)
-> [Double]	U
-> [Double]	X

Ratio Method (Kinderman-Monahan) (Knuth, v2, 2ed, pp 125--127)

If mu=0 and sigma=1, then this will generate numbers in the range [-1e15,1e15] (?) assuming that the uniform RNG is really giving full precision for doubles.
