It assumes * that the desired range (max-min+1) is small compared to the range of the * underlying source of random numbers and thus makes no attempt to limit * quantization errors. * * Let \f$r_{\mathtt{out}} = (\mbox{max}-\mbox{min}+1)\f$ the desired range of * integer numbers, and * let \f$r_{\mathtt{base}}\f$ be the range of the underlying source of random * numbers. Then, for the uniform distribution, the theoretical probability * for any number i in the range \f$r_{\mathtt{out}}\f$ will be * \f$\displaystyle p_{\mathtt{out}}(i) = \frac{1}{r_{\mathtt{out}}}\f$. * Likewise, assume a uniform distribution on \f$r_{\mathtt{base}}\f$ for * the underlying source of random numbers, i.e. * \f$\displaystyle p_{\mathtt{base}}(i) = \frac{1}{r_{\mathtt{base}}}\f$. * Let \f$p_{\mathtt{out\_s}}(i)\f$ denote the random * distribution generated by @c uniform_smallint. Then the sum over all * i in \f$r_{\mathtt{out}}\f$ of * \f$\displaystyle * \left(\frac{p_{\mathtt{out\_s}}(i)}{p_{\mathtt{out}}(i)} - 1\right)^2\f$ * shall not exceed * \f$\displaystyle \frac{r_{\mathtt{out}}}{r_{\mathtt{base}}^2} * (r_{\mathtt{base}} \mbox{ mod } r_{\mathtt{out}}) * (r_{\mathtt{out}} - r_{\mathtt{base}} \mbox{ mod } r_{\mathtt{out}})\f$. * * The template parameter IntType shall denote an integer-like value type. * * @xmlnote * The property above is the square sum of the relative differences * in probabilities between the desired uniform distribution * \f$p_{\mathtt{out}}(i)\f$ and the generated distribution * \f$p_{\mathtt{out\_s}}(i)\f$. * The property can be fulfilled with the calculation * \f$(\mbox{base\_rng} \mbox{ mod } r_{\mathtt{out}})\f$, as follows: * Let \f$r = r_{\mathtt{base}} \mbox{ mod } r_{\mathtt{out}}\f$. * The base distribution on \f$r_{\mathtt{base}}\f$ is folded onto the * range \f$r_{\mathtt{out}}\f$. The numbers i < r have assigned * \f$\displaystyle * \left\lfloor\frac{r_{\mathtt{base}}}{r_{\mathtt{out}}}\right\rfloor+1\f$ * numbers of the base distribution, the rest has only \f$\displaystyle * \left\lfloor\frac{r_{\mathtt{base}}}{r_{\mathtt{out}}}\right\rfloor\f$. * Therefore, * \f$\displaystyle p_{\mathtt{out\_s}}(i) = * \left(\left\lfloor\frac{r_{\mathtt{base}}} * {r_{\mathtt{out}}}\right\rfloor+1\right) / * r_{\mathtt{base}}\f$ for i < r and \f$\displaystyle p_{\mathtt{out\_s}}(i) = * \left\lfloor\frac{r_{\mathtt{base}}} * {r_{\mathtt{out}}}\right\rfloor/r_{\mathtt{base}}\f$ otherwise. * Substituting this in the * above sum formula leads to the desired result. * @endxmlnote * * Note: The upper bound for * \f$(r_{\mathtt{base}} \mbox{ mod } r_{\mathtt{out}}) * (r_{\mathtt{out}} - r_{\mathtt{base}} \mbox{ mod } r_{\mathtt{out}})\f$ is * \f$\displaystyle \frac{r_{\mathtt{out}}^2}{4}\f$. Regarding the upper bound * for the square sum of the relative quantization error of * \f$\displaystyle \frac{r_\mathtt{out}^3}{4r_{\mathtt{base}}^2}\f$, it * seems wise to either choose \f$r_{\mathtt{base}}\f$ so that * \f$r_{\mathtt{base}} > 10r_{\mathtt{out}}^2\f$ or ensure that * \f$r_{\mathtt{base}}\f$ is * divisible by \f$r_{\mathtt{out}}\f$. */ template class uniform_smallint { public: typedef IntType input_type;
