What are the columns "mu time" and "sigma^2 time" of the
benchmark table in the Sampling subsection?
In statistics mu is often used to describe the average, sigma the
standard deviation and sigma^2 the variance. It was absolutely
unnecessary to use this notation here (especially because
standard deviation, not variance was measured). I fixed that and
also added how many samples were generated per run (10M), thanks!
Btw in case you didn't find the link within the article, the
benchmark is available within Mir:
