PHP generator based on distribution

Generito

This library aims to provide a generator instruments with distribution and randomization., _(*1)

Quick Start

The library is easy to get up and running quickly., _(*2)

<?php

use Generito\Generator;
use Generito\Distribution\DistributionFactory;

$distribution = (new DistributionFactory)
    ->createDistribution(DiscriptionFactory::DISCRETE)
    ->setFrequencies(array(
      4 => 100,
      5 => 100,
      6 => 50,
      7 => 50,
      8 => 50,
      9 => 50,
      10 => 100,
      11 => 40,
      12 => 30,
      13 => 20,
      14 => 50));

$this->generator->setDistribution($distribution)
    ->setHandler(function($value) {
        return array(
            "value" => $value,
            // Get a random 8-character string
            // See https://github.com/rchouinard/rych-random/blob/master/Random.php
            "code" => Random::getRandom()->getRandomString(8, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789")
            );
    });

$result = $this->generator->generate(2);

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(2) {
    ["value"]=>
    int(14)
    ["code"]=>
    string(8) "q9zosw4f"
  }
  [1]=>
  array(2) {
    ["value"]=>
    int(12)
    ["code"]=>
    string(8) "gvv5jxg1"
  }
}

Installation via Composer

• Install Composer to your project root:, _(*3)

  curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
  

• Add a composer.json file to your project:, _(*4)

  {
    "require" {
      "knyga/generito": "1.0.*@dev"
    }
  }
  

• Run the Composer installer:, _(*5)

  php composer.phar install
  

Distributions

The library uses a distribution classes to generate required number of values with required distribution., _(*6)

DiscreteDistribution

Returns random value from input according to its density., _(*7)

$distribution = new DiscreteDistribution;
$distribution->setFrequencies(array('a' => 100, 'b' => 200, 'c' => 300));
$cnt = array('a' => 0, 'b' => 0, 'c' => 0);

for($i=0;$i<1000;$i++) {
    ++$cnt[$distribution->random()];
}

array(3) {
  ["a"]=>
  int(139)
  ["b"]=>
  int(352)
  ["c"]=>
  int(509)
}

$distribution = new DiscreteDistribution;
$distribution->setFrequencies(array(100, 200, 300));
$cnt = array(0 => 0, 1 => 0, 2 => 0);

for($i=0;$i<1000;$i++) {
    ++$cnt[$distribution->random()];
}

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  int(170)
  [1]=>
  int(330)
  [2]=>
  int(500)
}

FixedDistribution

Returns fixed number of values., _(*8)

$distribution = new FixedDistribution;
$distribution->setFrequencies(array(100, 200, 300));
$cnt = array(0 => 0, 1 => 0, 2 => 0);

for($i=0;$i<600;$i++) {
    ++$cnt[$distribution->random()];
}

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  int(100)
  [1]=>
  int(200)
  [2]=>
  int(300)
}

$distribution = new FixedDistribution;
$distribution->setFrequencies(array(100, 200, 300));
$distribution->setCount(1000);
$cnt = array(0 => 0, 1 => 0, 2 => 0);

for($i=0;$i<1000;$i++) {
    ++$cnt[$distribution->random()];
}

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  int(166)
  [1]=>
  int(333)
  [2]=>
  int(501)
}

$distribution = new FixedDistribution;
$distribution->setFrequencies(array('a' => 100, 'b' => 200, 'c' => 300));
$cnt = array('a' => 0, 'b' => 0, 'c' => 0);

for($i=0;$i<600;$i++) {
    ++$cnt[$distribution->random()];
}

array(3) {
  ["a"]=>
  int(100)
  ["b"]=>
  int(200)
  ["c"]=>
  int(300)
}

ContinuousDistribution

Returns random value from input according to its density. Despite DiscreteDistribution could return float values. Has not implemented yet., _(*9)
