/**
 * Distribution samplers
 *
 * 
 * This package contains classes for sampling from statistical distributions.
 * 
 *
 * As of version 1.0, the code for specific distributions was adapted from
 * the corresponding classes in the development version of "Commons Math" (in
 * package {@code org.apache.commons.math4.distribution}).
 * 
 * 
 * When no specific algorithm is provided, one can still sample from any
 * distribution, using the inverse method, as illustrated in:
 * 

 *  {@link org.apache.commons.rng.sampling.distribution.InverseTransformDiscreteSampler InverseTransformDiscreteSampler}
 *  {@link org.apache.commons.rng.sampling.distribution.InverseTransformContinuousSampler InverseTransformContinuousSampler}
 * 
 *
 * Algorithms are described in e.g. Luc Devroye (1986), chapter 9
 * and chapter 10.
 *
 * This paper discusses Gaussian generators.
