Math::GSL::QRNG(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Math::GSL::QRNG(3)

Math::GSL::QRNG - Quasi-random number generators

    # use OO approach
    use Math::GSL::QRNG;

    my $QRNG = Math::GSL::QRNG::Sobol->new(2);
    my @samples = $QRNG->get();

    # use GSL interface
    use Math::GSL::QRNG qw/:all/;

This module interfaces with GNU Scientific Library quasi-random number generators (QRNG).

The OO Interface described in this documentation is available to all different subclasses, namely:
Math::GSL::QRNG::Sobol
Math::GSL::QRNG::Niederreiter2
Math::GSL::QRNG::Halton
Math::GSL::QRNG::ReverseHalton

Reinitializes the generator to its starting point. Note that quasi-random sequences do not use a seed and always produce the same set of values.

        $qrng->reinit();

Retrieves the next point from the sequence generator. Returns "undef" on error.

        my @points = $qrng->get();

Retrieves the QRNG name.

    my $name = $qrng->name();

Returns the size of the QRNG state.

Returns an exact copy of the current QRNG.

Here is a list of all the functions included in this module :
"gsl_qrng_alloc($T, $n)" - This function returns a pointer to a newly-created instance of a quasi-random sequence generator of type $T and dimension $d. The type $T must be one of the constants included in this module.
"gsl_qrng_clone($q)" - This function returns a pointer to a newly created generator which is an exact copy of the generator $q.
"gsl_qrng_memcpy($dest, $src)" - This function copies the quasi-random sequence generator $src into the pre-existing generator $dest, making $dest into an exact copy of $src. The two generators must be of the same type.
"gsl_qrng_free($q)" - This function frees all the memory associated with the generator $q. Don't call this function explicitly. It will be called automatically in DESTROY.
"gsl_qrng_init($q)" - This function reinitializes the generator $q to its starting point. Note that quasi-random sequences do not use a seed and always produce the same set of values.
"gsl_qrng_name($q)" - This function returns a pointer to the name of the generator $q.
"gsl_qrng_size($q)" - This function returns the size of the state of generator r from the generator $q. You can use this information to access the state directly.
"gsl_qrng_state($q)" - This function returns a pointer to the state of generator r from the generator $q. You can use this information to access the state directly.
"gsl_qrng_get"

This module also contains the following constants :

$gsl_qrng_niederreiter_2
$gsl_qrng_sobol
$gsl_qrng_halton
$gsl_qrng_reversehalton

For more informations on the functions, we refer you to the GSL official documentation: <http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/>
