Package Exports

@apocentre/alias-sampling

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@apocentre/alias-sampling) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Alias Method for Sampling

Library for sampling of random values from a discrete probability distribution, using the Walker-Vose alias method.

Installation

yarn add @apocentre/aliasing

Usage

var s = sample([0.5, 0.25, 0.25], ['A', 'B', 'C']);
s.next(); // => random outcome according to specified probabilities

var s = sample([0.5, 0.25, 0.25], [10, 20, 30]);
s.next(1000); // => 1000 random samples according to specified probabilities

var s = sample([0.5, 0.25, 0.25]);
s.next(); // => random index according to specified probabilities

var rand = Math.rand; // custom random generator function
var s = sample([0.5, 0.25, 0.25], null, rand);
s.next(); // => random index according to specified probabilities

Have fun!
