[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/frithnanth/raku-Math-Libgsl-QuasiRandom.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/frithnanth/raku-Math-Libgsl-QuasiRandom) NAME ==== Math::Libgsl::QuasiRandom - An interface to libgsl, the Gnu Scientific Library - Quasi-Random Sequences. SYNOPSIS ======== ```perl6 use Math::Libgsl::QuasiRandom; use Math::Libgsl::Constants; my Math::Libgsl::QuasiRandom $q .= new: :type(SOBOL), :2dimensions; $q.get».say for ^10; ``` DESCRIPTION =========== Math::Libgsl::QuasiRandom is an interface to the Quasi-Random Sequences of libgsl, the Gnu Scientific Library. ### new(Int :$type, Int :$dimensions) The constructor allows two parameters, the quasi-random sequence generator type and the dimensions. One can find an enum listing all the generator types in the Math::Libgsl::Constants module. ### init() This method re-inits the sequence. ### get(--> List) Returns the next item in the sequence as a List of Nums. ### name(--> Str) This method returns the name of the current quasi-random sequence. ### copy(Math::Libgsl::QuasiRandom $src) This method copies the source generator **$src** into the current one and returns the current object, so it can be concatenated. The generator state is also copied, so the source and destination generators deliver the same values. ### clone(--> Math::Libgsl::QuasiRandom) This method clones the current object and returns a new object. The generator state is also cloned, so the source and destination generators deliver the same values. ```perl6 my $q = Math::Libgsl::QuasiRandom.new; my $clone = $q.clone; ``` C Library Documentation ======================= For more details on libgsl see [https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/](https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/). The excellent C Library manual is available here [https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/doc/html/index.html](https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/doc/html/index.html), or here [https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/doc/latex/gsl-ref.pdf](https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/doc/latex/gsl-ref.pdf) in PDF format. Prerequisites ============= This module requires the libgsl library to be installed. Please follow the instructions below based on your platform: Debian Linux ------------ sudo apt install libgsl23 libgsl-dev libgslcblas0 That command will install libgslcblas0 as well, since it's used by the GSL. Ubuntu 18.04 ------------ libgsl23 and libgslcblas0 have a missing symbol on Ubuntu 18.04. I solved the issue installing the Debian Buster version of those three libraries: * [http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gsl/libgslcblas0_2.5+dfsg-6_amd64.deb](http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gsl/libgslcblas0_2.5+dfsg-6_amd64.deb) * [http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gsl/libgsl23_2.5+dfsg-6_amd64.deb](http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gsl/libgsl23_2.5+dfsg-6_amd64.deb) * [http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gsl/libgsl-dev_2.5+dfsg-6_amd64.deb](http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gsl/libgsl-dev_2.5+dfsg-6_amd64.deb) Installation ============ To install it using zef (a module management tool): $ zef install Math::Libgsl::QuasiRandom AUTHOR ====== Fernando Santagata COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE ===================== Copyright 2020 Fernando Santagata This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the Artistic License 2.0.
