49.9 Random numbers from known distributions

The following functions are exported by the (vicare crypto randomisations distributions) library.

Function: random-exponentials-maker source

Return a closure which, when applied to a real number argument mu, generates exponentially exp(mu) distributed random numbers using randomness from source.

Function: random-normals-maker source

Return a closure which, when applied to real number arguments mu and sigma, generates normally distributed N(mu, sigma) random numbers using randomness from source.
