Documentation

newtype StdSimplex as Source #

Uniform distribution over a standard simplex.

Constructors

StdSimplex Int

StdSimplex k constructs a standard simplex of dimension k (standard k-simplex). An element of the simplex represents a vector variable as = (a_0, a_1, ..., a_k). The elements of as are more than or equal to 0 and sum as is always equal to 1.
