Detailed Description

Parameter class representing a gaussian distribution applied on a parameter.

Can only be used when connecting spatially distributed nodes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GaussianParameter() [1/2]

nest::GaussianParameter::GaussianParameter

(

const Dictionary &

d

)

Construct the parameter from a dictionary of arguments.

Member Function Documentation

value() [1/4]

double nest::Parameter::value ( RngPtr  rng, const std::vector< double > &  source_pos, const std::vector< double > &  target_pos, const AbstractLayer &  layer, Node *  node  )

inlinevirtual

Generates a value based on parameter specifications and arguments.

Used when connecting spatial nodes. Note that not all parameters support all overloaded versions.

Parameters

rng	pointer to the random number generator
source_pos	position of the source node
target_pos	position of the target node
layer	spatial layer
node	target node, required for normal and lognormal parameters

Returns

the value of the parameter.

Reimplemented from nest::Parameter.

value() [2/4]

double nest::GaussianParameter::value ( RngPtr  rng, const std::vector< double > &  source_pos, const std::vector< double > &  target_pos, const AbstractLayer &  layer, Node *  node  )

overridevirtual

Generates a value based on parameter specifications and arguments.

Used when connecting spatial nodes. Note that not all parameters support all overloaded versions.

Parameters

rng	pointer to the random number generator
source_pos	position of the source node
target_pos	position of the target node
layer	spatial layer
node	target node, required for normal and lognormal parameters

Returns

the value of the parameter.

Reimplemented from nest::Parameter.

value() [3/4]

virtual double nest::Parameter::value ( RngPtr  , Node *    )

inlinevirtual

Generates a value based on parameter specifications and arguments.

Used when getting a parameter value based on random values or node attributes, like position. Note that not all parameters support all overloaded versions.

Parameters

rng	pointer to the random number generator
node	pointer to the node, used when the node position is relevant

Returns

the value of the parameter.

Reimplemented from nest::Parameter.

value() [4/4]

double nest::GaussianParameter::value ( RngPtr  , Node *    )

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns

the value of the parameter.

Reimplemented from nest::Parameter.
