Interface RandomSampler<T,U>

All Superinterfaces:

Cloneable, Pseudorandom, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

BernoulliCellSampler, BernoulliSampler, PoissonSampler

public interface RandomSampler<T,U>
extends Pseudorandom, scala.Cloneable, scala.Serializable

A pseudorandom sampler. It is possible to change the sampled item type. For example, we might want to add weights for stratified sampling or importance sampling. Should only use transformations that are tied to the sampler and cannot be applied after sampling.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
RandomSampler<T,U>	clone() return a copy of the RandomSampler object
int	sample() Whether to sample the next item or not.
scala.collection.Iterator<U>	sample(scala.collection.Iterator<T> items) take a random sample

sample

scala.collection.Iterator<U> sample(scala.collection.Iterator<T> items)

take a random sample

sample

int sample()

Whether to sample the next item or not. Return how many times the next item will be sampled. Return 0 if it is not sampled.

Returns:

(undocumented)

clone
