Tavenem.Randomize

Tavenem.Randomize provides pseudo-random number generation in various distributions.

For example, to print a single value from a normal distribution:

Console.WriteLine(Randomizer.Instance.NormalDistributionSample());

To print 10,000 values:

foreach (var value in Randomizer.Instance.NormalDistributionSamples(10000))
{
    Console.WriteLine(value);
}

Supported distributions:

• Binomial
• Categorical
• Exponential
• Logistic
• Log-normal
• Normal
• "Positive" normal (one half of a normal distribution, giving only values >= mean)

Tavenem.Randomize utilizes a Mersenne Twister by default, but also provides a mechanism for replacing the underlying generator with your own, provided it implements the library's IGenerator interface.

The library also provides a serializable RandomParameters struct, which can be used to persist or transport the parameters used to obtain a random value.

Tavenem.Randomize also provides a Rehydrator class that allows a deterministic set of random values to be recreated from the same seed, even if those values are requested out of order.

Installation

Tavenem.Randomize is available as a NuGet package.

Roadmap

Tavenem.Randomize is a relatively stable library. Although additions and bugfixes are possible at any time, release should generally be expected to folow the .NET release cycle, with one or more preview releases during a framework preview, and a new stable release coinciding with the release of a new .NET framework major version.
