main configuration

Distributions

In the distributions section all distributions that are required for the configuration are parametrized. It is a mandatory part of the main configuration section. Following distributions can be parametrized:

Every distribution has the mandatory attribute distID which is the name under which it will be referenced in the configuration file. This name has to be unique throughout the whole configuration file. The name has to start with a letter and can consist of letters, digits and underscores.

You will find an example for the distributions section with different defined distributions at the bottom of the page.

Gaussian distribution

    <gaussianDistribution distID="name">
        <mean> </mean>
        <stdDev> </stdDev>
    </gaussianDistribution>

Defines a Gaussian distribution with the mean value mean and the standard deviation stdDev.

Uniform distribution

    <uniformDistribution distID="name">
        <min> </min>
        <max> </max>
    </uniformDistribution>

Defines a uniform distribution with the start value min and the maximum value max.



Sample configuration of the distributions section

In this sample configuration of a distributions section two Gaussian and one uniform distribution are defined. 

    <distributions>

        <gaussianDistribution distID="normal">
            <mean>60</mean>
            <stdDev>20</stdDev>
        </gaussianDistribution>

        <uniformDistribution distID="ldSize">
            <min>10</min>
            <max>100</max>
        </uniformDistribution>

        <gaussianDistribution distID="ldTime">
            <mean>30</mean>
            <stdDev>7</stdDev>
        </gaussianDistribution>

    </distributions>
