SelectMany<TSource, TResult>(IDistribution<TSource>, Func<TSource, IDistribution<TResult>>) Method
Transforms a distribution by mapping values using the selector provided to produce a new distribution, which is then sampled from. This method implements the "bind" operator from functional programming principles.

Syntax

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

Remarks

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

Type Parameters

TSourceThe generic type of the input distribution.
TResultThe generic type of the output distribution.
