### make

```
SampleSet.make: (distribution) => sampleSet
SampleSet.make: (() => number) => sampleSet
SampleSet.make: (list<number>) => sampleSet
```

### map

```
SampleSet.map: (sampleSet, (number => number)) => sampleSet
```

### map2

```
SampleSet.map2: (sampleSet, sampleSet, ((number, number) => number)) => sampleSet
```

### map3

```
SampleSet.map3: (sampleSet, sampleSet, sampleSet, ((number, number, number) => number)) => sampleSet
```

### toList

```
SampleSet.toList: (sampleSet) => list<number>
```

Gets the internal samples of a sampleSet distribution. This is separate from the sampleN() function, which would shuffle the samples. toList() maintains order and length.
