{{alias}}( [options] )
Returns a readable stream for generating pseudorandom numbers drawn from a
standard normal distribution using the Box-Muller transform.
In addition to standard readable stream events, the returned stream emits a
'state' event after internally generating `siter` pseudorandom numbers,
which is useful when wanting to deterministically capture a stream's
underlying PRNG state.
Parameters
----------
options: Object (optional)
Options.
options.objectMode: boolean (optional)
Specifies whether a stream should operate in "objectMode". Default:
false.
options.encoding: string|null (optional)
Specifies how Buffer objects should be decoded to strings. Default:
null.
options.highWaterMark: integer (optional)
Specifies the maximum number of bytes to store in an internal buffer
before ceasing to generate additional pseudorandom numbers.
options.sep: string (optional)
Separator used to join streamed data. This option is only applicable
when a stream is not in "objectMode". Default: '\n'.
options.iter: integer (optional)
Number of iterations.
options.prng: Function (optional)
Pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) for generating uniformly
distributed pseudorandom numbers on the interval `[0,1)`. If provided,
the `state` and `seed` options are ignored. In order to seed the
returned iterator, one must seed the provided `prng` (assuming the
provided `prng` is seedable).
options.seed: integer|ArrayLikeObject<integer> (optional)
Pseudorandom number generator seed. The seed may be either a positive
unsigned 32-bit integer or, for arbitrary length seeds, an array-like
object containing unsigned 32-bit integers.
options.state: Uint32Array (optional)
Pseudorandom number generator state. If provided, the `seed` option is
ignored.
options.copy: boolean (optional)
Boolean indicating whether to copy a provided pseudorandom number
generator state. Setting this option to `false` allows sharing state
between two or more pseudorandom number generators. Setting this option
to `true` ensures that a returned iterator has exclusive control over
its internal state. Default: true.
options.siter: integer (optional)
Number of iterations after which to emit the PRNG state. Default: 1e308.
Returns
-------
stream: ReadableStream
Readable stream.
stream.PRNG: Function
Underlying pseudorandom number generator.
stream.seed: Uint32Array|null
Pseudorandom number generator seed.
stream.seedLength: integer|null
Length of generator seed.
stream.state: Uint32Array|null
Generator state.
stream.stateLength: integer|null
Length of generator state.
stream.byteLength: integer|null
Size (in bytes) of generator state.
Examples
--------
> function fcn( chunk ) { console.log( chunk.toString() ); };
> var opts = { 'iter': 10 };
> var s = {{alias}}( opts );
> var o = {{alias:@stdlib/streams/node/inspect-sink}}( fcn );
> s.pipe( o );
{{alias}}.factory( [options] )
Returns a function for creating readable streams which generate pseudorandom
numbers drawn from a standard normal distribution using the Box-Muller
transform.
Parameters
----------
options: Object (optional)
Options.
options.objectMode: boolean (optional)
Specifies whether a stream should operate in "objectMode". Default:
false.
options.encoding: string|null (optional)
Specifies how Buffer objects should be decoded to strings. Default:
null.
options.highWaterMark: integer (optional)
Specifies the maximum number of bytes to store in an internal buffer
before ceasing to generate additional pseudorandom numbers.
options.sep: string (optional)
Separator used to join streamed data. This option is only applicable
when a stream is not in "objectMode". Default: '\n'.
options.iter: integer (optional)
Number of iterations.
options.prng: Function (optional)
Pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) for generating uniformly
distributed pseudorandom numbers on the interval `[0,1)`. If provided,
the `state` and `seed` options are ignored. In order to seed the
returned iterator, one must seed the provided `prng` (assuming the
provided `prng` is seedable).
options.seed: integer|ArrayLikeObject<integer> (optional)
Pseudorandom number generator seed. The seed may be either a positive
unsigned 32-bit integer or, for arbitrary length seeds, an array-like
object containing unsigned 32-bit integers.
options.state: Uint32Array (optional)
Pseudorandom number generator state. If provided, the `seed` option is
ignored.
options.copy: boolean (optional)
Boolean indicating whether to copy a provided pseudorandom number
generator state. Setting this option to `false` allows sharing state
between two or more pseudorandom number generators. Setting this option
to `true` ensures that a returned iterator has exclusive control over
its internal state. Default: true.
options.siter: integer (optional)
Number of iterations after which to emit the PRNG state. Default: 1e308.
Returns
-------
fcn: Function
Function for creating readable streams.

--------
> var opts = { 'objectMode': true, 'highWaterMark': 64 };
