> LineSampler: Sample uniformly within a line
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RNG-133
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-133
> Project: Commons RNG
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: sampling
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Alex Herbert
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.4
>
> Time Spent: 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Create a sampler to sample uniformly within a line:
> {code:java}
> public abstract class LineSampler implements
> SharedStateSampler<LineSampler> {
> public static LineSampler of(double[] a,
> double[] b,
> UniformRandomProvider rng);
> }
> {code}
> Sampling can be performed using the same method as the TriangleSampler
> without the third coordinate:
> {noformat}
> v = b - a
> p = a + s * v
> with s a uniform deviate in [0, 1]
> {noformat}
> To allow computation with any finite coordinates the vector does not require
> computation:
> {noformat}
> p = a + s * (b - a)
> = a + sb - sa
> = (1 - s)a + sb
> {noformat}
> This is the same method used in the {{ContinuousUniformSampler}} but extended
> to N-dimensions.
