There are a few modules for random number distributions (Functorized so you can use your choice of actual (P)RNG generators with them; I like the Mersenne Twister, also part of the library.), and I just added exponential and poisson distributions after seeing your email. :) -- Shawn Wagner shawnw@speakeasy.org ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
