What's the license on it? Alternatively, perhaps an email to the
authors would encourage them to donate it by opening a JIRA issue.

The problem with using Blog is that it is meant to be a stand-alone
simulation environment and we just need two (one really) of its
multitude of sampling classes. I also have not been able to compile
it into a jar file, nor have I been able to find one. It does not
seem to build on my Mac. Uncommons math already has Gaussian; has
some good random number generators; and I just need to figure out
how to sample from a Beta distribution with it. The implementation
seems simple enough: Beta(a, b) = Gam(1, a)/(Gam(1, a)*Gam(1, b)) -
but I don't fully understand what I'm doing, yet.
Another alternative suggested by Ted is based upon commons math, but
it requires some of Ted's personal extensions to support Beta.

Are they in the Maven repo? If they are, then we can just add the

Hi Ted,
I'm still trying to resolve two external dependencies on the Blog
package to get moving again on DP Clustering:
import blog.distrib.Beta;
import blog.distrib.UnivarGaussian;
I notice we already have uncommons math in trunk and so rNorm
should be trivial. Can you suggest how to implement rBeta with it?
From the API, it is not obvious to me.
