GaussNoise

Advanced Analysis Library Only

AnalysisLibErrType GaussNoise (int numberOfElements, double sDeviation, int seed, double GaussianNoise[]);

Purpose

Generates an array of random Gaussian numbers distributed with expected zero mean value and the standard deviation you specify.

Example

/* The following code generates an array of random Gaussian distributed numbers. */
double x[20], sDev;
int n;
n = 20;
sDev = 5.0;
GaussNoise (n, sDev, 17, x);

Parameters

Input
Name	Type	Description
numberOfElements	integer	Number of elements to generate in the Gaussian noise pattern.
sDeviation	double-precision	Standard deviation of the Gaussian noise pattern. Default Value: 1.0.
seed	integer	Initial seed value. When seed 0, GaussNoise generates a new random sequence using the seed value. When seed < 0, the previously generated random sequence continues.
Output
Name	Type	Description
GaussianNoise	double-precision array	Generated Gaussian noise pattern.
