Gilles resolved MATH-1319.
--------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Completed following resolution of MATH-1366.
Remaining work has been listed in separate reports.
> Refactor the package "o.a.c.m.random"
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-1319
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1319
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Gilles
> Assignee: Gilles
> Labels: api, refactoring
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> It is proposed to refactor the whole package in order to fix the various
> problems mentioned in recent issues and discussions
> concerning the random number generators.
> For background, please refer to the separate reports on the issue tracking
> system, and on the "dev" ML.
> The main goals are:
> # Make it clear that implementations do not generate an arbitrary number of
> bits (at the request of the user); but rather as fixed size chunks (i.e. 32
> bits, a.k.a. Java "int" type).
> # Allow implementations that generate 64 bits chunks (a.k.a. Java "long"
> type).
> # Separate the generation of sequences (for all Java primitive types) that
> are uniformly distributed (in the range of the corresponding type) from all
> further processing (e.g. required to match other distributions).
