Implementation of a Sobol sequence.

A Sobol sequence is a low-discrepancy sequence with the property that for all values of N, its subsequence (x1, ... xN) has a low discrepancy. It can be used to generate pseudo-random points in a space S, which are equi-distributed.

The implementation already comes with support for up to 1000 dimensions with direction numbers calculated from Stephen Joe and Frances Kuo.

The generator supports two modes:

Construct a new Sobol sequence generator for the given space dimension with direction vectors loaded from the given stream.

The expected format is identical to the files available from Stephen Joe and Frances Kuo. The first line will be ignored as it is assumed to contain only the column headers. The columns are:

  • d: the dimension
  • s: the degree of the primitive polynomial
  • a: the number representing the coefficients
  • m: the list of initial direction numbers
Example:
d       s       a       m_i
2       1       0       1
3       2       1       1 3

The input stream must be an ASCII text containing one valid direction vector per line.

Params:
  • dimension – the space dimension
  • is – the stream to read the direction vectors from
Throws:
