Ajo Fod created MATH-1124:
-----------------------------
Summary: Instances of AbstractRealDistribution require a random
generator.
Key: MATH-1124
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1124
Project: Commons Math
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Ajo Fod
A couple of observations:
... The default random generator takes a while to instantiate.
... Many functions of these distributions don't require a random generator.
Generally speaking only sampling requires it.
So, why force the default constructor to initialize with a new random generator
... why not use a global generic or simple generator?
Or do away with random generator except for sampling?
This issue was observed with the TDistribution class , but it is probably
applicable to many classes as well.
