(Inherited from Object)
Public methodGetHashCodeServes as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object)
Public methodGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object)
Protected methodMemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object)
Public methodNextDouble Generates a random value distributed according to the distribution.
(Overrides ProbabilityDistributionNextDouble)
Public methodPDF Gives the probability density at x.
(Overrides ProbabilityDistributionPDF(Double))
Public methodQuantile Gives the pth quantile of the distribution.
(Overrides ProbabilityDistributionQuantile(Double))

Fields
 NameDescription
Protected fieldcached Cached flag indicating whether a value is available in the Box-Muller cache.

Remarks
Return normal (Gaussian) distributed random deviates with mean "m" and standard deviation "s" according to the density: 2 1 (x-m) p (x) dx = ------------ exp( - ------- ) dx m,s sqrt(2 pi) s 2 s*s
