This is the base class for the ROOT Random number generators.

This class defines the ROOT Random number interface and it should not be instantiated directly but used via its derived classes. The generator provided in TRandom itself is a LCG (Linear Congruential Generator), the BSD rand generator, that it should not be used because its period is only 2**31, i.e. approximately 2 billion events, that can be generated in just few seconds.

To generate random numbers, one should use one of the derived classes, which are:

  • TRandom3: it is based on the "Mersenne Twister generator", it is fast and a very long period of about \(10^{6000}\). However it fails some of the most stringent tests of the TestU01 suite. In addition this generator provide only numbers with 32 random bits, which might be not sufficient for some application based on double or extended precision. This generator is however used in ROOT used to instantiate the global pointer to the ROOT generator, gRandom.
  • TRandomRanluxpp : New implementation of the Ranlux generator algorithm based on a fast modular multiplication of 576 bits. This new implementation is built on the idea and the original code of Alexei Sibidanov, described in his paper . It generates random numbers with 52 bit precision (double precision) and it has an higher luxury level than the original Ranlux generator (p = 2048 instead of p=794).
  • TRandomMixMax : Generator based on the family of the MIXMAX matrix generators (see the MIXMAX HEPFORGE Web page and the documentation of the class ROOT::Math::MixMaxEngine for more information), that are base on the Asanov dynamical C systems. This generator has a state of N=240 64 bit integers, proof random properties, it provides 61 random bits and it has a very large period ( \(10^{4839}\)). Furthermore, it provides the capability to be seeded with the guarantee that, for each given different seed, a different sequence of random numbers will be generated. The only drawback is that the seeding time is time consuming, of the order of 0.1 ms, while the time to generate a number is few ns (more than 10000 faster).
  • TRandomMixMax17 : Another MixMax generator, but with a smaller state, N=17, and this results in a smaller entropy than the generator with N=240. However, it has the same seeding capabilities, with a much faster seeding time (about 200 times less than TRandomMixMax240 and comparable to TRandom3).
  • TRandomMixMax256 : A variant of the MIXMAX generators, based on a state of N=256, and described in the 2015 paper. This implementation has been modified with respect to the paper, by skipping 2 internal iterations, to provide improved random properties.
  • TRandomMT64 : Generator based on a the Mersenne-Twister generator with 64 bits, using the implementation provided by the standard library ( std::mt19937_64 )
  • TRandom1 based on the RANLUX algorithm, has mathematically proven random proprieties and a period of about \(10{171}\). It is however much slower than the others and it has only 24 random bits. It can be constructed with different luxury levels.
  • TRandomRanlux48 : Generator based on a the RanLux generator with 48 bits and highest luxury level using the implementation provided by the standard library (std::ranlux48). The drawback of this generator is its slow generation time.
  • TRandom2 is based on the Tausworthe generator of L'Ecuyer, and it has the advantage of being fast and using only 3 words (of 32 bits) for the state. The period however is not impressively long, it is 10**26.

Using the template TRandomGen class (template on the contained Engine type), it is possible to add any generator based on the standard C++ random library (see the C++ random documentation.) or different variants of the MIXMAX generator using the ROOT::Math::MixMaxEngine. Some of the listed generator above (e.g. TRandomMixMax256 or TRandomMT64) are convenient typedef's of generator built using the template TRandomGen class.

Please note also that this class (TRandom) implements also a very simple generator (linear congruential) with period = \(10^9\), known to have defects (the lower random bits are correlated) and it is failing the majority of the random number generator tests. Therefore it should NOT be used in any statistical study.

The following table shows some timings (in nanoseconds/call) for the random numbers obtained using a macbookpro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU:

The following methods are provided to generate random numbers distributed according to some basic distributions:

  • Exp(Double_t tau)
  • Integer(UInt_t imax)
  • Gaus(Double_t mean, Double_t sigma)
  • Rndm()
  • Uniform(Double_t)
  • Landau(Double_t mean, Double_t sigma)
  • Poisson(Double_t mean)
  • Binomial(Int_t ntot, Double_t prob)

Random numbers distributed according to 1-d, 2-d or 3-d distributions contained in TF1, TF2 or TF3 objects can also be generated. For example, to get a random number distributed following abs(sin(x)/x)*sqrt(x) you can do :

*f1 = new TF1("f1","abs(sin(x)/x)*sqrt(x)",0,10); double r = f1->GetRandom();
ROOT::R::TRInterface & r
Definition Object.C:4
Definition TF1.h:182
TF1 * f1
Definition legend1.C:11

or you can use the UNURAN package. You need in this case to initialize UNURAN to the function you would like to generate.

u.Init(TUnuranDistrCont(f1));
double r = u.Sample();
TUnuran class.
Definition TUnuran.h:79
bool Init(const std::string &distr, const std::string &method)
Initialize with Unuran string API interface.
Definition TUnuran.cxx:62
double Sample()
Sample 1D distribution.
Definition TUnuran.cxx:414

The techniques of using directly a TF1,2 or 3 function is powerful and can be used to generate numbers in the defined range of the function. Getting a number from a TF1,2,3 function is also quite fast. UNURAN is a powerful and flexible tool which contains various methods for generate random numbers for continuous distributions of one and multi-dimension. It requires some set-up (initialization) phase and can be very fast when the distribution parameters are not changed for every call.

The following table shows some timings (in nanosecond/call) for basic functions, TF1 functions and using UNURAN obtained running the tutorial math/testrandom.C Numbers have been obtained on an Intel Xeon Quad-core Harpertown (E5410) 2.33 GHz running Linux SLC4 64 bit and compiled with gcc 3.4

Note that the time to generate a number from an arbitrary TF1 function using TF1::GetRandom or using TUnuran is independent of the complexity of the function.

TH1::FillRandom(TH1 *) or TH1::FillRandom(const char *tf1name) can be used to fill an histogram (1-d, 2-d, 3-d from an existing histogram or from an existing function.

Note this interesting feature when working with objects. You can use several TRandom objects, each with their "independent" random sequence. For example, one can imagine

TRandom *eventGenerator = new TRandom();
TRandom *tracking = new TRandom();

eventGenerator can be used to generate the event kinematics. tracking can be used to track the generated particles with random numbers independent from eventGenerator. This very interesting feature gives the possibility to work with simple and very fast random number generators without worrying about random number periodicity as it was the case with Fortran. One can use TRandom::SetSeed to modify the seed of one generator.

A TRandom object may be written to a Root file

  • as part of another object
  • or with its own key (example: gRandom->Write("Random") ) ;

kOnlyPrepStep 

Used to request that the class specific implementation of TObject::Write just prepare the objects to be ready to be written but do not actually write them into the TBuffer.

This is just for example by TBufferMerger to request that the TTree inside the file calls TTree::FlushBaskets (outside of the merging lock) and TBufferMerger will later ask for the write (inside the merging lock). To take advantage of this feature the class needs to overload TObject::Write and use this enum value accordingly. (See TTree::Write and TObject::Write) Do not use, this feature will be migrate to the Merge function (See TClass and TTree::Merge)

◆ AbstractMethod()

void TObject::AbstractMethod ( const char * method) const
inherited

Call this function within a function that you don't want to define as purely virtual, in order not to force all users deriving from that class to implement that maybe (on their side) unused function; but at the same time, emit a run-time warning if they try to call it, telling that it is not implemented in the derived class: action must thus be taken on the user side to override it.

In other word, this method acts as a "runtime purely virtual" warning instead of a "compiler purely virtual" error.

Warning
This interface is a legacy function that is no longer recommended to be used by new development code.

The name "AbstractMethod" does not imply that it's an abstract method in the strict C++ sense.

Double_t prob )
virtual

Generates a random integer N according to the binomial law.

Coded from Los Alamos report LA-5061-MS.

N is binomially distributed between 0 and ntot inclusive with mean prob*ntot and prob is between 0 and 1.

Note: This function should not be used when ntot is large (say >100). The normal approximation is then recommended instead (with mean =*ntot+0.5 and standard deviation sqrt(ntot*prob*(1-prob)).

◆ BreitWigner()

Double_t TRandom::BreitWigner ( Double_t mean = 0,

◆ Browse()

◆ CheckedHash()

ULong_t TObject::CheckedHash ( )
inlineinherited

Check and record whether this class has a consistent Hash/RecursiveRemove setup (*) and then return the regular Hash value for this object.

The intent is for this routine to be called instead of directly calling the function Hash during "insert" operations. See TObject::HasInconsistenTObjectHash();

(*) The setup is consistent when all classes in the class hierarchy that overload TObject::Hash do call ROOT::CallRecursiveRemoveIfNeeded in their destructor. i.e. it is safe to call the Hash virtual function during the RecursiveRemove operation.

◆ GetSeed()

UInt_t TRandom::GetSeed ( ) const
virtual

Get the random generator seed.

Warning
Might not be the initial seed!

Note that this function returns the given seed only when using as random generator engine TRandom itself, which is an LCG generator and it has as seed (state) only one 32 bit word. In case of the other generators GetSeed will return one of the state elements and not the given seed. See the documentation of the corresponding generator used (for example TRandom3::GetSeed() when using TRandom3 or gRandom. If one needs to save the generator seed in order to be used later for obtaining reproducible numbers, one should store the full generator, either in a file or in memory in a separate TRandom object. Here is an example on how to store reproducible states:

// set a unique seed
gRandom->SetSeed(0);
// save generator state in a different TRandom instance
TRandom* rngSaved = static_cast<TRandom*>(gRandom->Clone());
// now both rngSaved and gRandom will produce the same sequence of numbers
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i )
std::cout << "generated number from gRandom : " << gRandom->Rndm() << " from saved generator " <<
rngSaved->Rndm() << std::endl;

Return the unique object id.

Definition at line 480 of file TObject.cxx.

◆ HandleTimer()

Bool_t TObject::HandleTimer ( TTimer * timer)

Definition at line 516 of file TObject.cxx.

◆ Hash()

ULong_t TNamed::Hash ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtualinherited

Return hash value for this object.

Note: If this routine is overloaded in a derived class, this derived class should also add

void CallRecursiveRemoveIfNeeded(TObject &obj)
call RecursiveRemove for obj if gROOT is valid and obj.TestBit(kMustCleanup) is true.
Definition TROOT.h:406

Otherwise, when RecursiveRemove is called (by ~TObject or example) for this type of object, the transversal of THashList and THashTable containers will will have to be done without call Hash (and hence be linear rather than logarithmic complexity). You will also see warnings like

Error in <ROOT::Internal::TCheckHashRecursiveRemoveConsistency::CheckRecursiveRemove>: The class SomeName overrides
TObject::Hash but does not call TROOT::RecursiveRemove in its destructor.
ULong_t Hash() const override

◆ HasInconsistentHash()

Bool_t TObject::HasInconsistentHash ( ) const
inlineinherited

Return true is the type of this object is known to have an inconsistent setup for Hash and RecursiveRemove (i.e.

missing call to RecursiveRemove in destructor).

Note: Since the consistency is only tested for during inserts, this routine will return true for object that have never been inserted whether or not they have a consistent setup. This has no negative side-effect as searching for the object with the right or wrong Hash will always yield a not-found answer (Since anyway no hash can be guaranteed unique, there is always a check)

Definition at line 366 of file TObject.h.

◆ Info()

void TObject::Info ( const char * location,

◆ IsDestructed()

Bool_t TObject::IsDestructed ( ) const
inlineinherited

IsDestructed.

Note
This function must be non-virtual as it can be used on destructed (but not yet modified) memory. This is used for example in TClonesArray to record the element that have been destructed but not deleted and thus are ready for re-use (by operator new with placement).
Returns
true if this object's destructor has been run.

Definition at line 186 of file TObject.h.

◆ IsEqual()

Bool_t TObject::IsEqual ( const TObject * obj) const

◆ Landau()

Double_t TRandom::Landau ( Double_t mu = 0,
Double_t sigma = 1 )
virtual

Generate a random number following a Landau distribution with location parameter mu and scale parameter sigma: Landau( (x-mu)/sigma ) Note that mu is not the mpv(most probable value) of the Landa distribution and sigma is not the standard deviation of the distribution which is not defined.

For mu =0 and sigma=1, the mpv = -0.22278

The Landau random number generation is implemented using the function landau_quantile(x,sigma), which provides the inverse of the landau cumulative distribution. landau_quantile has been converted from CERNLIB ranlan(G110).

◆ MayNotUse()

void TObject::MayNotUse ( const char * method) const

Use this method to signal that a method (defined in a base class) may not be called in a derived class (in principle against good design since a child class should not provide less functionality than its parent, however, sometimes it is necessary).

Definition at line 1160 of file TObject.cxx.

◆ Notify()

Bool_t TObject::Notify ( )
virtualinherited

This method must be overridden to handle object notification (the base implementation is no-op).

Different objects in ROOT use the Notify method for different purposes, in coordination with other objects that call this method at the appropriate time.

For example, TLeaf uses it to load class information; TBranchRef to load contents of referenced branches TBranchRef; most notably, based on Notify, TChain implements a callback mechanism to inform interested parties when it switches to a new sub-tree.

◆ Paint()

void TObject::Paint ( Option_t * option = "")
virtualinherited

This method must be overridden if a class wants to paint itself.

The difference between Paint() and Draw() is that when a object draws itself it is added to the display list of the pad in which it is drawn (and automatically redrawn whenever the pad is redrawn). While paint just draws the object without adding it to the pad display list.

◆ Poisson()

ULong64_t TRandom::Poisson ( Double_t mean)
virtual

Generates a random integer N according to a Poisson law.

Prob(N) = exp(-mean)*mean^N/Factorial(N)

Use a different procedure according to the mean value. The algorithm is the same used by CLHEP. For lower value (mean < 25) use the rejection method based on the exponential. For higher values use a rejection method comparing with a Lorentzian distribution, as suggested by several authors. This routine returns now an unsigned 64 bit integer For large values, larger than 1.84e+19, we print an error message advising to use the Trandom::PoissonD for such large values, and return the max value UINT64_MAX

◆ Rndm() [1/2]

Double_t TRandom::Rndm ( )
overridevirtual

Machine independent random number generator.

Based on the BSD Unix (Rand) Linear congruential generator. Produces uniformly-distributed floating points between 0 and 1. Identical sequence on all machines of >= 32 bits. Periodicity = 2**31, generates a number in (0,1). Note that this is a generator which is known to have defects (the lower random bits are correlated) and therefore should NOT be used in any statistical study).

Implements ROOT::Math::TRandomEngine.

◆ SaveAs()

void TObject::SaveAs ( const char * filename = "",
Option_t * option = "" ) const
virtualinherited

Save this object in the file specified by filename.

  • if "filename" contains ".root" the object is saved in filename as root binary file.
  • if "filename" contains ".xml" the object is saved in filename as a xml ascii file.
  • if "filename" contains ".cc" the object is saved in filename as C code independent from ROOT. The code is generated via SavePrimitive(). Specific code should be implemented in each object to handle this option. Like in TF1::SavePrimitive().
  • otherwise the object is written to filename as a CINT/C++ script. The C++ code to rebuild this object is generated via SavePrimitive(). The "option" parameter is passed to SavePrimitive. By default it is an empty string. It can be used to specify the Draw option in the code generated by SavePrimitive.

    The function is available via the object context menu.

◆ SetSeed()

void TRandom::SetSeed ( ULong_t seed = 0)
virtual

Set the random generator seed.

Note that default value is zero, which is different than the default value used when constructing the class. If the seed is zero the seed is set to a random value which in case of TRandom depends on the lowest 4 bytes of TUUID The UUID will be identical if SetSeed(0) is called with time smaller than 100 ns Instead if a different generator implementation is used (TRandom1, 2 or 3) the seed is generated using a 128 bit UUID. This results in different seeds and then random sequence for every SetSeed(0) call.

◆ Write() [2/2]

Int_t TObject::Write ( const char * name = nullptr,
Int_t option = 0,
Int_t bufsize = 0 ) const
virtualinherited

Write this object to the current directory.

The data structure corresponding to this object is serialized. The corresponding buffer is written to the current directory with an associated key with name "name".

Writing an object to a file involves the following steps:

  • Creation of a support TKey object in the current directory. The TKey object creates a TBuffer object.
  • The TBuffer object is filled via the class::Streamer function.
  • If the file is compressed (default) a second buffer is created to hold the compressed buffer.
  • Reservation of the corresponding space in the file by looking in the TFree list of free blocks of the file.
  • The buffer is written to the file.

Bufsize can be given to force a given buffer size to write this object. By default, the buffersize will be taken from the average buffer size of all objects written to the current file so far.

If a name is specified, it will be the name of the key. If name is not given, the name of the key will be the name as returned by GetName().

The option can be a combination of: kSingleKey, kOverwrite or kWriteDelete Using the kOverwrite option a previous key with the same name is overwritten. The previous key is deleted before writing the new object. Using the kWriteDelete option a previous key with the same name is deleted only after the new object has been written. This option is safer than kOverwrite but it is slower. NOTE: Neither kOverwrite nor kWriteDelete reduces the size of a TFile– the space is simply freed up to be overwritten; in the case of a TTree, it is more complicated. If one opens a TTree, appends some entries, then writes it out, the behaviour is effectively the same. If, however, one creates a new TTree and writes it out in this way, only the metadata is replaced, effectively making the old data invisible without deleting it. TTree::Delete() can be used to mark all disk space occupied by a TTree as free before overwriting its metadata this way. The kSingleKey option is only used by TCollection::Write() to write a container with a single key instead of each object in the container with its own key.

An object is read from the file into memory via TKey::Read() or via TObject::Read().

The function returns the total number of bytes written to the file. It returns 0 if the object cannot be written.
