fm.runifR Documentation

The Uniform Distribution

Description

fm.runif creates a FlashR vector with uniformly random numbers. fm.runif.matrix creates a FlashR matrix with uniformly random numbers.

Usage

fm.runif(n, min = 0, max = 1, in.mem = TRUE, name = "")

fm.runif.matrix(nrow, ncol, min = 0, max = 1, in.mem = TRUE, name = "")

Arguments

n

the number of random numbers to be generated.

min

lower limits of the distribution.

max

upper limits of the distribution.

in.mem

whether the vector is stored in memory.

name

the name of the vector. It's stored on disks, it's used as the file name.

nrow

the number of rows in the generated matrix.

ncol

the number of columns in the generated matrix.

Details

If a user provides name and in.mem is TRUE, the created vector/matrix will be kept on disks persistently. That is, even if a user exits from R, the vector/matrix will still be kept on disks.

Examples

vec <- fm.runif(10) # a vector of 10 elements filled with uniform random numbers.
mat <- fm.runif.matrix(10, 2) a 10x2 matrix filled with uniform random numbers.
