Parameters

baccarat.params

Overview

The params module provides parameter descriptor classes for use with the Simulator class. These parameters automatically generate random values according to specific distributions when accessed within a simulation.

Base Class

All parameter types inherit from the Param abstract base class, which defines the common interface.

Parameter Types

Class	Description
`GaussianParam`	Generates random values from a Gaussian (normal) distribution
`UniformParam`	Generates random values from a uniform distribution
`StaticParam`	Provides a fixed, constant value

Usage

Parameters are defined as class variables in a Simulator subclass:

from baccarat import Simulator, GaussianParam, UniformParam, StaticParam

class MySimulator(Simulator):
    # Parameters are defined as class variables
    x = UniformParam(0.0, 10.0)
    y = GaussianParam(mean=5.0, std=2.0)
    z = StaticParam(3.14159)

    def simulation(self):
        # Access parameters to get arrays of random values
        x_values = self.x  # Array of uniform random values
        y_values = self.y  # Array of gaussian random values
        z_values = self.z  # Array filled with the constant value

        # Perform calculations with these arrays
        result = x_values * y_values + z_values
        return result

The parameters use Python's descriptor protocol to generate new random values each time they are accessed.
