mt19937
Fill a strided array with pseudorandom numbers generated using a 32-bit Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generator.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/random-strided-mt19937
Usage
var mt19937 = require( '@stdlib/random-strided-mt19937' );
mt19937( N, out, so[, options] )
Fills a strided array with pseudorandom integers between 0
and 4294967295
.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
// Create an array:
var out = new Float64Array( 10 );
// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937( out.length, out, 1 );
The function has the following parameters:
- N: number of indexed elements.
- out: output array.
- so: index increment for
out
.
The N
and stride parameters determine which strided array elements are accessed at runtime. For example, to access every other value in out
,
var out = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
mt19937( 3, out, 2 );
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array
views.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
// Initial array:
var out0 = new Float64Array( 6 );
// Create offset views:
var out1 = new Float64Array( out0.buffer, out0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
// Fill the output array:
mt19937( out1.length, out1, 1 );
The function accepts the following options
:
- seed: pseudorandom number generator seed.
- state: a
Uint32Array
containing pseudorandom number generator state. If provided, the function ignores theseed
option. - copy:
boolean
indicating whether to copy a provided pseudorandom number generator state. Setting this option tofalse
allows sharing state between two or more pseudorandom number generators. Setting this option totrue
ensures that a returned generator has exclusive control over its internal state. Default:true
.
To seed the underlying pseudorandom number generator, set the seed
option.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var opts = {
'seed': 12345
};
var out = new Float64Array( 10 );
mt19937( out.length, out, 1, opts );
mt19937.ndarray( N, out, so, oo[, options] )
Fills a strided array with pseudorandom integers between 0
and 4294967295
using alternative indexing semantics.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
// Create an array:
var out = new Float64Array( 10 );
// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937.ndarray( out.length, out, 1, 0 );
The function has the following additional parameters:
- oo: starting index for
out
.
While typed array
views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer
, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to access every other value in out
starting from the second value,
var out = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
mt19937.ndarray( 3, out, 2, 1 );
The function accepts the same options
as documented above for mt19937()
.
mt19937.normalized( N, out, so[, options] )
Fills a strided array with pseudorandom numbers between 0
and 1
.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
// Create an array:
var out = new Float64Array( 10 );
// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937.normalized( out.length, out, 1 );
The function has the following parameters:
- N: number of indexed elements.
- out: output array.
- so: index increment for
out
.
The function accepts the same options
as documented above for mt19937()
.
mt19937.normalized.ndarray( N, out, so, oo[, options] )
Fills a strided array with pseudorandom numbers between 0
and 1
using alternative indexing semantics.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
// Create an array:
var out = new Float64Array( 10 );
// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937.normalized.ndarray( out.length, out, 1, 0 );
The function has the following additional parameters:
- oo: starting index for
out
.
The function accepts the same options
as documented above for mt19937()
.
Notes
- If
N <= 0
, all functions leave the output array unchanged. - All functions support array-like objects having getter and setter accessors for array element access.
Examples
var zeros = require( '@stdlib/array-zeros' );
var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array-base-zero-to' );
var logEach = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each' );
var mt19937 = require( '@stdlib/random-strided-mt19937' );
// Specify a PRNG seed:
var opts = {
'seed': 1234
};
// Create an array:
var x1 = zeros( 10, 'float64' );
// Create a list of indices:
var idx = zeroTo( x1.length );
// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937.normalized( x1.length, x1, 1, opts );
// Create a second array:
var x2 = zeros( 10, 'generic' );
// Fill the array with the same pseudorandom numbers:
mt19937.normalized( x2.length, x2, 1, opts );
// Print the array contents:
logEach( 'x1[%d] = %.2f; x2[%d] = %.2f', idx, x1, idx, x2 );
