vRngUniform Continuous Distribution Generators

Generates random numbers with uniform distribution.

Syntax

status = vsrnguniform( method, stream, n, r, a, b )

status = vdrnguniform( method, stream, n, r, a, b )

Description

The vRngUniform function generates random numbers uniformly distributed over the interval [a, b), where a, b are the left and right bounds of the interval, respectively, and a, b∈R ; a < b.

The probability density function is given by:

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

Return Values

VSL_ERROR_OK, VSL_STATUS_OK: Indicates no error, execution is successful.
VSL_ERROR_NULL_PTR: stream is a NULL pointer.
VSL_RNG_ERROR_BAD_STREAM: stream is not a valid random stream.
VSL_RNG_ERROR_BAD_UPDATE: Callback function for an abstract BRNG returns an invalid number of updated entries in a buffer, that is, < 0 or > nmax .
VSL_RNG_ERROR_NO_NUMBERS: Callback function for an abstract BRNG returns 0 as the number of updated entries in a buffer.
VSL_RNG_ERROR_QRNG_PERIOD_ELAPSED: Period of the generator has been exceeded.
VSL_RNG_ERROR_NONDETERM_NRETRIES_EXCEEDED: Number of retries to generate a random number by using non-deterministic random number generator exceeds threshold.
VSL_RNG_ERROR_ARS5_NOT_SUPPORTED: ARS-5 random number generator is not supported on the CPU running the application.
