About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
# Tools
[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]
> Pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) array creation function tools.
## Installation
```bash
npm install @stdlib/random-array-tools
```
Alternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a `script` tag without installation and bundlers, use the [ES Module][es-module] available on the [`esm`][esm-url] branch (see [README][esm-readme]).
- If you are using Deno, visit the [`deno`][deno-url] branch (see [README][deno-readme] for usage intructions).
- For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the [Universal Module Definition (UMD)][umd] build available on the [`umd`][umd-url] branch (see [README][umd-readme]).
The [branches.md][branches-url] file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.
## Usage
```javascript
var ns = require( '@stdlib/random-array-tools' );
```
#### ns
Namespace containing array creation pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) function tools.
```javascript
var o = ns;
// returns {...}
```
The namespace contains the following:
- [`binaryFactory( prng, dtypes, dtype )`][@stdlib/random/array/tools/binary-factory]: create a factory function for generating pseudorandom values drawn from a binary PRNG.
- [`binary( prng, dtypes, dtype )`][@stdlib/random/array/tools/binary]: constructor for creating arrays filled with pseudorandom values drawn from a binary PRNG.
- [`nullary( prng, dtypes, dtype )`][@stdlib/random/array/tools/nullary]: constructor for creating arrays filled with pseudorandom values drawn from a nullary PRNG.
- [`ternaryFactory( prng, dtypes, dtype )`][@stdlib/random/array/tools/ternary-factory]: create a factory function for generating pseudorandom values drawn from a ternary PRNG.
- [`ternary( prng, dtypes, dtype )`][@stdlib/random/array/tools/ternary]: constructor for creating arrays filled with pseudorandom values drawn from a ternary PRNG.
- [`unaryFactory( prng, dtypes, dtype )`][@stdlib/random/array/tools/unary-factory]: create a factory function for generating pseudorandom values drawn from a unary PRNG.
- [`unary( prng, dtypes, dtype )`][@stdlib/random/array/tools/unary]: constructor for creating arrays filled with pseudorandom values drawn from a unary PRNG.
## Examples
```javascript
var exponential = require( '@stdlib/random-base-exponential' );
var arcsine = require( '@stdlib/random-base-arcsine' );
var randn = require( '@stdlib/random-base-improved-ziggurat' );
var ns = require( '@stdlib/random-array-tools' );
// Create a binary PRNG array:
var dtypes = [ 'float64', 'float32', 'generic' ];
var defaultDType = 'float64';
var rand = new ns.binary( arcsine, dtypes, defaultDType );
var x = rand.generate( 10, 2.0, 5.0 );
// e.g., returns [ ~3.65, ~4.34, ~3.52, ~4.68, ~2.62, ... ]
// Create a unary PRNG array:
rand = new ns.unary( exponential, dtypes, defaultDType );
x = rand.generate( 10, 0.5 );
// e.g., returns [ ~0.22, ~2.89, ~0.69, ~2.48, ~0.82, ... ]
// Create a nullary PRNG array:
rand = new ns.nullary( randn, dtypes, defaultDType );
x = rand.generate( 10 );
// e.g., returns [ ~-0.22, ~1.89, ~-0.69, ~0.48, ~-0.82, ... ]
```
