RandomBates(n): (() => number)
Returns a function for generating random numbers with a Bates distribution with n independent variables. The case of fractional n is handled as with d3.randomIrwinHall, and d3.randomBates(0) is equivalent to d3.randomUniform().
Parameters
- n: number
  Number of independent random variables to use.
Returns (() => number)
- - (): number
  - Returns a function for generating random numbers with a Bates distribution with n independent variables. The case of fractional n is handled as with d3.randomIrwinHall, and d3.randomBates(0) is equivalent to d3.randomUniform().
    
    Returns number

Methods

source

source(source): RandomBates
Returns the same type of function for generating random numbers but where the given random number generator source is used as the source of randomness instead of Math.random. This is useful when a seeded random number generator is preferable to Math.random.
Parameters
- source: (() => number)
  Source (pseudo-)random number generator implementing the Math.random interface. The given random number generator must implement the same interface as Math.random and only return values in the range [0, 1).
  - - (): number
    - Returns number
