Detailed Description

encalsulates ENUM constants defining supported distribution types

Note: Important: To access, this enum, do ONLY include this header in .CPP files!!! This is to avoid a recompilation of too many files if a single distribution type is added to the list of enums.

Member Enumeration Documentation

an enum type defining all supported distribution types

Enumerator
NONE	no distribution (space holder)
TRUNCATED_NORMAL	(left and right) truncated normal distribution
GAUSSIAN	Gaussian distribution.
BETA	Beta distribution with modifyable bounds.
GAMMA	Gamma distribution with modifyable left bound.
GAMMA_REVERSE	Mirrored Gamma distribution being mirrored at the bound (being bounded to the right).

static enum_type string2enum ( string ident )

static

tries to identify the distribution type enum from a string ident

Parameters

ident the string ident

Exceptions

exception if the ident is not valid/existing
