Hi.
Referring to the discussion here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-764
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-823
Do we agree:
* To add new constructors to the distribution classes (in package
"o.a.c.m.distribution") that take a "RandomGenerator" (in package
"o.a.c.m.random") as an argument?
* That this argument (reference) will be stored in the distribution
object but can be manipulated from outside (e.g. "setSeed") so that
the class is not strictly immutable? [Immutability is impossible to
enforce since there is no way to copy such an object.]
* That the distribution classes do not need a setter for the RNG, nor a
a method to re-seed the RNG? [I.e. if a user wants a new RNG, he must
instantiate a new distribution object.]
* That the ad-hoc code of the sampling methods currently in
"RandomDataImpl" (in package "o.a.c.m.random") will be moved over to the
"sample" method in the correpsonding distribution class?
* That "RandomData" and "RandomDataImpl" will be refactored so that methods
that duplicate functionality transferred to the distribution will
deprecated in 3.1 and removed in 4.0?
* That the interface "RandomData" and its unique implementation
("RandomDataImpl") will be merged in 4.0?
Regards,
Gilles
