Calling Sequence

'Vector'(flav, n, ... )

'Vector[o]'(flav, n, ... )

Parameters

flav

-

random flavor

n

-

positive integer or a flavor that generates a positive integer

density

-

a numeric value with 0 <= density <= 1

[o]

-

use either [row] or [column] to specify the orientation of the resulting Vector

...

-

additional options to the Vector constructor

Description

• 

The flavor 'Vector' describes a Vector with n rows (or columns).  Each entry is described by the given random flavor flav.  The default flavor is integer and the default value for n is 10.

• 

Specifying [row] or [column] will select if a row or column Vector is generated.  By default, a column vector is generated.

• 

The density value is a probability that an entry will be assigned a value.  By default, this value is 1.

• 

Additional arguments can be specified that will be passed to the Vector constructor.  For example, datatype, shape,etc.

  

This flavor can be used as an argument to RandomTools[Generate] or as part of a structured flavor.
