UNIFORM_DATASET
Generate Uniform Random Datasets {#uniform_dataset-generate-uniform-random-datasets align="center"}


UNIFORM_DATASET is a C++ program which creates a uniform random dataset and writes it to a file.

Usage: {#usage align="center"}

uniform_dataset m n seed

where

  • m is the spatial dimension;
  • n is the number of points to generate;
  • seed is the initial seed value.

The data is written to the file uniform_m_n.txt.
