[jira] [Comment Edited] (MATH-460) Levy Distribution

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-460?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13463470#comment-13463470 ]

Thanks for the help Phil! Do you think you could explain the following test? It seems like it should be overridden in my own test case, as I'm a bit confused about the set [250,250,250,250] for the variable "expected" below: 

Link: https://github.com/apache/commons-math/blob/trunk/src/test/java/org/apache/commons/math3/distribution/RealDistributionAbstractTest.java#L290

  public abstract class RealDistributionAbstractTest {

    ....

    /**
     * Test sampling
     */
    @Test
    public void testSampling() {
        final int sampleSize = 1000;
        distribution.reseedRandomGenerator(1000); // Use fixed seed
        double[] sample = distribution.sample(sampleSize);
        double[] quartiles = TestUtils.getDistributionQuartiles(distribution);
        double[] expected = {250, 250, 250, 250};
        long[] counts = new long[4];
        for (int i = 0; i < sampleSize; i++) {
            TestUtils.updateCounts(sample[i], counts, quartiles);
        }
        TestUtils.assertChiSquareAccept(expected, counts, 0.001);
    }
