Usage: random-distributions-cli [-p
Command-line tool to generate samples of various random distributions. Note that more single-value distributions that are mentioned in https://docs.rs/statrs/0.15.0/statrs/distribution/index.html are easy to add to the tool.
Options: -p, --precision number of digits after decimal to print -C, --cumulative add value of each sample to buffer -S, --seed use specified seed instead for PRNG -b, --binary-format output as binary numbers of specified format instead of text. Valid formats are f{32,64}{be,le}, {u,s}8, {u,s}{16,32,64}{le,be}. Out of range values are clamped to valid ranges -n, --num-samples number of sampels to generate, instead of an infinite stream --help display usage information
Commands: uniform Uniform distribution normal Normal, Gaussian distribution cauchy Cauchy, Lorentz distribution - fat-tailed and continuous triangular Triangular distribution - continuous studentt Student-T distribution stable General case of stable continuous distribution, generated by CMS method. Note that this one is not checked by a mathenatician, so don't rely on it to match other implementation I used one hack about scaling to make it match Cauchy and Normal distributions, but I am not sure if it is correct. empirical Discrete distribution that just endlessly randomly selects one of specified values categorical Discrete distribution that generates values according to specified probabilities
