RandomPareto(alpha): (() => number)
Returns a function for generating random numbers with a Pareto distribution with the shape alpha. The value alpha must be a positive value.
Parameters
- alpha: number
  alpha
Returns (() => number)
- - (): number

source

source(source): RandomPareto
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
Returns RandomPareto
