Transforms a distribution by mapping values using the selector provided to produce a new distribution, which is then sampled from.

Syntax

public static IDistribution<TResult> SelectMany<TSource, TIntermediate, TResult>(this IDistribution<TSource> distribution, Func<TSource, IDistribution<TIntermediate>> selector, Func<TSource, TIntermediate, TResult> resultSelector)

Examples

This method enables use of LINQ query syntax over IDistribution<TResult>. For example:

IDistribution<PointF> unitSquarePointDistribution =
    from x in Uniform.NewInclusive(0.0, 1.0)
    from y in Uniform.NewInclusive(0.0, 1.0)
    select new System.Drawing.PointF(x, y);

Remarks

When using

TrySample

on the result, if the distribution fails then the selector is not applied.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TSource	The generic type of the input distribution.
TIntermediate	The generic type of the intermediate distribution.
TResult	The generic type of the output distribution.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
distribution	IDistribution<TSource>	The distribution to be transformed.
selector	Func<TSource, IDistribution<TIntermediate>>	The projection to be applied to values from the distribution to produce an intermediate distribution.
resultSelector	Func<TSource, TIntermediate, TResult>	The projection to be applied to values from both distributions.

Return Value

IDistribution<TResult>
