##Available psuedorandom generators:

• Discrete distributions:
  • Discrete uniform distribution
  • Binomial distribution
  • Geometric distribution
  • Poisson distribution
• Continuous distributions:
  • Continuous uniform distribution
  • Exponential distribution
  • Gamma distribution
  • Beta distribution
  • Normal (Gaussian) distribution
  • Stable distribution
  • Log-normal distribution
  • Pareto distribution
  • Weibull distribution

##Sampling functions:

• Sampling with replacement
• Sampling without replacement
• Sampling with replacement with given weights

##How to use it?

import SORandom

//Single pseudorandom normal variable
//with mean 0 and standard deviation 1
let x = randNormal(0, 1)

//Array of pseudorandom independent normal variables
//with mean 0 and standard deviation 1 and length 10
let sample = randNormals(0, 1, 10)

//Sampling from array:

//with replacement
let numbers = [10, 11, 45, 1, 0, 4]
let bootstrapSample = sampleWithReplacement(numbers, 10)

//without replacement
let names = ["John", "Bob", "Anna", "Alice", "Chris", "Luke"]
let usersOrder = sampleWithoutReplacement(names, 4)

//with given weights
let letters = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
let probabilities = [0.5, 0.05, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3]

let randomLetters = sampleWithWeights(letters, probabilities, 10)
