@stdlib/random-array-tools-ternary-factory v0.2.1

ternaryFactory

Create a factory function for generating pseudorandom values drawn from a ternary PRNG.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/random-array-tools-ternary-factory

Usage

var ternaryFactory = require( '@stdlib/random-array-tools-ternary-factory' );

ternaryFactory( prng, dtypes, dtype )

Returns a factory function for generating pseudorandom values drawn from a ternary PRNG.

var triangular = require( '@stdlib/random-base-triangular' );

var dtypes = [ 'float64', 'float32', 'generic' ];

var factory = ternaryFactory( triangular, dtypes, 'float64' );
// returns <Function>

The function has the following parameters:

• prng: ternary pseudorandom number generator.
• dtypes: list of supported output data types.
• dtype: default output array data type.

factory( [param1, param2, param3, ][options] )

Returns a function for generating pseudorandom values drawn from a ternary PRNG.

var triangular = require( '@stdlib/random-base-triangular' );

var dtypes = [ 'float64', 'float32', 'generic' ];

var factory = ternaryFactory( triangular, dtypes, dtypes[ 0 ] );
// returns <Function>

var random = factory();
// returns <Function>

The function has the following parameters:

• param1: first PRNG parameter.
• param2: second PRNG parameter.
• param3: third PRNG parameter.
• options: function options.

The function supports the following options:

• prng: pseudorandom number generator which generates uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers.
• seed: pseudorandom value generator seed.
• state: pseudorandom value generator state.
• copy: boolean indicating whether to copy a provided pseudorandom value generator state.
• dtype: default output array data type. Setting this option overrides the default output array data type provided to the parent function.

If provided PRNG parameters, the function returns a partially applied function for creating arrays, which can be useful when wanting to pass around a parameterized function for array creation.

Full Arity

random( len, param1, param2, param3[, options] )

Returns an array of pseudorandom values drawn from a ternary PRNG.

var triangular = require( '@stdlib/random-base-triangular' );

• param1: first PRNG parameter.
• param2: second PRNG parameter.
• param3: third PRNG parameter.
• options: function options.

The function accepts the following options:
