Well - i tried to write some package dealing with distributions etc.
If you have something like that:
instance ... => Distribution (Linear a) a where
rand (Linear f s) g =
let (gf, gt) = genRange g
(v, g') = next g
in (g', f + (fromIntegral v * s) / fromIntegral (gt - gf))
(I haven't check it but IMHO it is right implementation)
Now I have following options:
- Implement per Int/Int8/...
- Implement IntegerLinear and FractionalLinear separatly
Neither of choices are IMHO not ideal.
