RandomDirection

class RandomDirection(*args)

Sampling following the random direction strategy.

Available constructor:

RandomDirection()

RandomDirection(dimension)

Parameters
dimensioninteger

The dimension of the standard space. By default, dimension = 0 but automatically updated by the calling class.

Notes

The RandomDirection strategy is the following : we generate some points on the sphere unity in the standard space according to the uniform distribution and we consider both opposite directions so built.

Methods

generate()

Generate the sample.

getClassName()

Accessor to the object's name.

getDimension()

Accessor to the dimension.

getId()

Accessor to the object's id.

getName()

Accessor to the object's name.

getShadowedId()

Accessor to the object's shadowed id.

getUniformUnitVectorRealization(*args)

Accessor to a realization according to the uniform distribution.

getVisibility()

Accessor to the object's visibility state.

hasName()

Test if the object is named.

hasVisibleName()

Test if the object has a distinguishable name.

setDimension(dimension)

Accessor to the dimension.

setName(name)

Accessor to the object's name.

setShadowedId(id)

Accessor to the object's shadowed id.

setVisibility(visible)

Accessor to the object's visibility state.

__init__(*args)
generate()

getUniformUnitVectorRealization(*args)

Accessor to a realization according to the uniform distribution.

Parameters
dimensionint

The dimension of the sphere unity (which is the dimension of the standard space).
