Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Library (Lib) Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Wladmir van der Laan (miathan6) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add triangular distribution to random Initial Comment: This patch adds the so called Triangular distribution for random values. It is often used in simulations when an upper and lower bound is known, and a most likely value but not the exact distribution. This distribution interpolates these values linearly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_distribution ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Collin Winter (collinwinter) Date: 2007-03-15 22:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1344176 Originator: NO Could you work up some tests (Lib/test/test_random.py) and docs (Doc/lib/librandom.tex) for this? An explanation of why you think this should be included in the standard library would be helpful, too. Also, it seems you made this patch against Python 2.3. While this particular patch still applied (relatively) cleanly to Python 2.6a0 source, Python 2.3 is no longer supported and most patches made against it have a high probability of inapplicability. See http://www.python.org/dev/faq/ for information on how to obtain a read-only checkout of the latest source code. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1681432&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
