I finally got around to committing my additions to the Random and Math libraries this morning. I haven't been able to make much progress since early december due to a) the holidays and b) a burning desire to graduate some time this decade - I've been working on my prospectus. Here's a quick summary of the commit. = Random = - Added 6 or 7 new distributions for random number generation - Added a new gamma distribution that correctly takes 2 parameters - Added a fixed lognormal distribution that correctly allows for a negative mean - Added a new program in libs/generator that will generate random numbers given a distribution and some parameters. Results are printed to cout and comparisons with the statistical distribution (in Boost.Math) are printed to cerr. Works nicely with gnuplot = Math = Added 2 new stubs of distributions (skew normal and geometric). Implemented an alternative version of the extreme_value distribution that supports both min and max variations. This is called extreme_value_i_distribution (i == 1). = What's Missing = Formal testing (outside of the generator tool above). Documentation I'll try to add missing features over the next couple months, but I can't make any guarantees. If authors are worried about "polluting" an existing project, I can easily re-extract them into a new top- level directory in the sandbox since there were no modifications to existing code.
