The RandomData interface stipulates that the standard deviation value for a call to nextGaussian(double mu, double sigma) should be greater than zero. Can anybody explain to me why this restriction exists?
It is a restriction of the distribution itself, rather than an implementation restriction. See http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GaussianFunction.html Given that the standard deviation is in the denominator of a subexpression in the distribution function, it seems unwise to allow a value of zero.
