Discrete distribution

Random number distribution that produces integer values according to a discrete distribution, where each possible value has a predefined probability of being produced:

The w's are a set of n non-negative individual weights set on construction (or using member param). The probability of each of the n possible numbers to be produced being their corresponding weight divided by the total of all weights.

To produce a random value following this distribution, call its member function operator().

Template parameters

IntType: An integer type. Aliased as member type result_type.
By default, this is int.

Member types The following aliases are member types of discrete_distribution:

member type definition notes result_type The first template parameter (IntType) The type of the numbers generated (defaults to int) param_type not specified The type returned by member param.

Member functions

(constructor): Construct discrete distribution (public member function)

operator(): Generate random number (public member function)

reset: Reset distribution (public member function)

param: Distribution parameters (public member function)

min: Minimum value (public member function)

max: Maximum value (public member function)

Distribution parameters:

probabilities: Probabilities (public member function)

Non-member functions

operator<<: Insert into output stream (function template)

operator>>: Extract from input stream (function template)

relational operators: Relational operators (function template)

Example

// discrete_distribution
#include <iostream>
#include <random>

int main()
{
  const int nrolls = 10000; // number of experiments
  const int nstars = 100;   // maximum number of stars to distribute

  std::default_random_engine generator;
  std::discrete_distribution<int> distribution {2,2,1,1,2,2,1,1,2,2};

  int p[10]={};

  for (int i=0; i<nrolls; ++i) {
    int number = distribution(generator);
    ++p[number];
  }

  std::cout << "a discrete_distribution:" << std::endl;
  for (int i=0; i<10; ++i)
    std::cout << i << ": " << std::string(p[i]*nstars/nrolls,'*') << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

Possible output:

a discrete_distribution:
0: ************
1: *************
2: *****
3: ******
4: ************
5: ************
6: ******
7: ******
8: ************
9: ************
