> BoxSampler to sampler uniformly from a box (or hyperrectangle)
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RNG-134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-134
> Project: Commons RNG
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: sampling
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Alex Herbert
> Assignee: Alex Herbert
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.4
>
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Create a sampler to sample uniformly within a
> [hyperrectangle|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperrectangle].
> Alternative names for a hyperrectangle are a box or an orthotope. Below I use
> the term box for simplicity and to match the BallSampler for an n-ball.
>
> {code:java}
> public abstract class BoxSampler implements
> SharedStateSampler<BoxSampler> {
> public static BoxSampler of(double[] a,
> double[] b,
> UniformRandomProvider rng);
> }
> {code}
> Inputs {{a}} and {{b}} are the minimum and maximum of the box in each
> dimension.
> Sampling can be performed using the same method as the LineSampler but using
> a uniform deviate for each dimension (instead of the same deviate for all
> dimensions):
> {noformat}
> p = a + u * (b - a)
> = a + ub - ua
> = (1 - u)a + ub
> {noformat}
> This will produce the same results as using an instance of the the
> {{ContinuousUniformSampler}} for each dimension with all samplers using a
> common RNG.
