## Class UniformRandomGenerator

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.math3.random.UniformRandomGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:
  NormalizedRandomGenerator

    public class UniformRandomGenerator
    extends Object
    implements NormalizedRandomGenerator

This class implements a normalized uniform random generator.

Since it is a normalized random generator, it generates values from a uniform distribution with mean equal to 0 and standard deviation equal to 1. Generated values fall in the range [-√3, +√3].
