title: Sample Set Distribution
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Sample set distributions are one of the three distribution formats. Internally, they are stored as a list of numbers. It's useful to distinguish point set distributions from arbitrary lists of numbers to make it clear which functions are applicable.
|
|
|
|
Monte Carlo calculations typically result in sample set distributions.
|
|
|
|
All regular distribution function work on sample set distributions. In addition, there are several functions that only work on sample set distributions.
|
|
|
|
### fromDist
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SampleSet.fromDist: (list<number>) => sampleSet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### fromList
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SampleSet.fromList: (list<number>) => sampleSet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### fromFn
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SampleSet.fromFn: ((float) => 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.
|
|
|
|
**Examples**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
toList(SampleSet.fromDist(normal(5,2)))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### mapN
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SampleSet.mapN: (list<sampleSet>, (list<sampleSet> => number)) => sampleSet
|
|
```
