Mir Random

Professional Random Number Generators.

The following table is a quick reference guide for which Mir Random modules to use for a given category of functionality.


Modules	Description
*Basic API*
mir.random	Basic API to generate random numbers. Contains generic rand function that generates real, integral, boolean, and enumerated uniformly distributed values. Publicly includes mir.random.engine.
*Random Variables*
mir.random.variable	Random variables for uniform, exponential, gamma, normal, and other distributions.
mir.random.ndvariable	Random variables for sphere, simplex, multivariate normal, and other multidimensional distributions.
*Integration with Phobos*
mir.random.algorithm	Random ndslices and ranges.
mir.random	mir.random.PhobosRandom!Engine can be used to extend any Mir random number generator to also be a Phobos-style random number generator.
*Entropy Generators*
mir.random.engine	unpredictableSeed, Random alias, common engine API.
mir.random.engine.linear_congruential	Linear Congruential generator.
mir.random.engine.mersenne_twister	Mersenne Twister generator.
mir.random.engine.pcg	Permuted Congruential generator.
mir.random.engine.splitmix	SplitMix64 generator and bit mixers.
mir.random.engine.xorshift	xorshift1024φ, xorshift64/32, and xorshift generators.
mir.random.engine.xoshiro	xoshiro256, 32-bit xoshiro128, xoroshiro128+ generators.
