{{alias}}( N, k, sk, out, so ) Fills a strided array with pseudorandom numbers drawn from a chi distribution. The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the provided strided arrays are accessed at runtime. Indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views. If `N` is less than or equal to `0`, the output strided array is left unchanged. Parameters ---------- N: integer Number of indexed elements. k: ArrayLikeObject Degrees of freedom. sk: integer Index increment for `k`. out: ArrayLikeObject Output array. so: integer Index increment for `out`. Returns ------- out: ArrayLikeObject Output array. Examples -------- > var out = {{alias:@stdlib/array/zeros}}( 5, 'generic' ); > {{alias}}( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, out, 1 ) [...] {{alias}}.ndarray( N, k, sk, ok, out, so, oo ) Fills a strided array with pseudorandom numbers drawn from a chi distribution using alternative indexing semantics. While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. Parameters ---------- N: integer Number of indexed elements. k: ArrayLikeObject Degrees of freedom. sk: integer Index increment for `k`. ok: integer Starting index for `k`. out: ArrayLikeObject Output array. so: integer Index increment for `out`. oo: integer Starting index for `out`. Returns ------- out: ArrayLikeObject Output array. Examples -------- > var out = {{alias:@stdlib/array/zeros}}( 5, 'generic' ); > {{alias}}.ndarray( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, 0, out, 1, 0 ) [...] {{alias}}.factory( [options] ) Returns a function for filling strided arrays with pseudorandom numbers drawn from a chi distribution. Parameters ---------- options: Object (optional) Options. options.prng: Function (optional) Pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) for generating uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers on the interval `[0,1)`. If provided, the `state` and `seed` options are ignored. In order to seed the returned pseudorandom number generator, one must seed the provided `prng` (assuming the provided `prng` is seedable). options.seed: integer|ArrayLikeObject (optional) Pseudorandom number generator seed. The seed may be either a positive unsigned 32-bit integer or, for arbitrary length seeds, an array-like object containing unsigned 32-bit integers. options.state: Uint32Array (optional) Pseudorandom number generator state. If provided, the `seed` option is ignored. options.copy: boolean (optional) Boolean indicating whether to copy a provided pseudorandom number generator state. Setting this option to `false` allows sharing state between two or more pseudorandom number generators. Setting this option to `true` ensures that a returned generator has exclusive control over its internal state. Default: true. Returns ------- fcn: Function Function for filling strided arrays. Examples -------- > var fcn = {{alias}}.factory(); > var out = {{alias:@stdlib/array/zeros}}( 5, 'generic' ); > fcn( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, out, 1 ) [...] {{alias}}.PRNG Underlying pseudorandom number generator. Examples -------- > var prng = {{alias}}.PRNG; {{alias}}.seed Pseudorandom number generator seed. Examples -------- > var seed = {{alias}}.seed; {{alias}}.seedLength Length of generator seed. Examples -------- > var len = {{alias}}.seedLength; {{alias}}.state Generator state. Examples -------- > var out = {{alias:@stdlib/array/zeros}}( 3, 'generic' ); > {{alias}}( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, out, 1 ) [...] // Get a copy of the current state: > var state = {{alias}}.state // Advance the generator state: > out = {{alias:@stdlib/array/zeros}}( 3, 'generic' ); > {{alias}}( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, out, 1 ) [...] > out = {{alias:@stdlib/array/zeros}}( 3, 'generic' ); > {{alias}}( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, out, 1 ) [...] // Set the state: > {{alias}}.state = state; // Regenerate previous generated values: > out = {{alias:@stdlib/array/zeros}}( 3, 'generic' ); > {{alias}}( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, out, 1 ) [...] {{alias}}.stateLength Length of generator state. Examples -------- > var len = {{alias}}.stateLength; {{alias}}.byteLength Size (in bytes) of generator state. Examples -------- > var sz = {{alias}}.byteLength; See Also --------
