public class ColtBinomial
extends ColtRandomSource

Produce a random sequence with a Binomial distribution. On each iteration, a new random number is produced. The output port is of type DoubleToken. The values that are generated are independent and identically distributed with the mean and the standard deviation given by parameters. In addition, the seed can be specified as a parameter to control the sequence that is generated.

This actor instantiates a cern.jet.random.Binomial object with n, the number of trials (also known as the sample size) set to 1 and p, the probability of success, set to 0.5. A definition of Binomial by Wolfgang Hoschek can be found at http://hoschek.home.cern.ch/hoschek/colt/V1.0.3/doc/cern/jet/stat/Probability.html#binomial(int,%20int,%20double):

binomial

public static double binomial(int k,
 int n,
 double p)

Returns the sum of the terms 0 through k of the Binomial probability density.

   k
 --  ( n )   j      n-j
 >   (   )  p  (1-p)
 --  ( j )
 j=0
 

The terms are not summed directly; instead the incomplete beta integral is employed, according to the formula

y = binomial( k, n, p ) = Gamma.incompleteBeta( n-k, k+1, 1-p ).

All arguments must be positive,

Parameters:
k - end term.
n - the number of trials.
p - the probability of success (must be in (0.0,1.0)).

Constructor Detail

ColtBinomial

public ColtBinomial(CompositeEntity container,
                    java.lang.String name)
             throws NameDuplicationException,
                    IllegalActionException

Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Send a random number with a Binomial distribution to the output. This number is only changed in the prefire() method, so it will remain constant throughout an iteration.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class RandomSource

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is no director.

_createdNewRandomNumberGenerator

protected void _createdNewRandomNumberGenerator()

Method that is called after _randomNumberGenerator is changed.

Specified by:

_createdNewRandomNumberGenerator in class ColtRandomSource

_generateRandomNumber

protected void _generateRandomNumber()
                              throws IllegalActionException

Generate a new random number.

Specified by:

_generateRandomNumber in class RandomSource

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If parameter values are incorrect.
