             Summary: ZigguratSampler.NormalizedGaussian has incorrect Gaussian 
output
                 Key: RNG-159
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-159
             Project: Commons RNG
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: sampling
    Affects Versions: 1.4
            Reporter: Alex Herbert
             Fix For: 1.4
         Attachments: pdf.gauss.modified.ziggurat.txt.png,

The new ZigguratSampler.NormalizedGaussian does not produce suitable output 
from the examples sampling application:

Compare with the current ZigguratNormalizedGaussianSampler:

 !pdf.gauss.ziggurat.txt.png! 

This is is repeatable with several different RNG implementations.

This issue was not detected with the current test suite in the sampling module 
which uses the deciles of the distribution. The deciles may be too coarse 
grained to detect a problem around the distribution mean.
