std :: piecewise_constant_distribution和std :: vector的问题

Question

给定一堆字符串，我试图创建一个程序，该程序可以模拟基于输入的加权分布的伪随机行为。

到目前为止，我想到了这个

#include <iostream>
#include <random>
#include <type_traits>
#include <map>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <initializer_list>

#define N 100

int main()
{
    std::vector<std::string> interval{"Bread", "Castle", "Sun"};
    std::vector<float> weights { 0.40f, 0.50f, 0.10f };
    std::piecewise_constant_distribution<> dist(interval.begin(),
                                                interval.end(),
                                                weights.begin());

    std::random_device rd;
    std::mt19937 gen(rd()) ;

    for(int i = 0; i<N;i++)
    {
        std::cout << dist(gen) << "\n";
    }

    return(0);

}

但这东西不起作用，我也不知道为什么，根据在线示例， std::piecewise_constant_distribution的通常用法是与std::arrays ，但是我正在尝试使用std::vector来实现它是我发现的主要区别。

使用Clang ++时，错误的输出为

/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../../include/c++/4.7/bits/random.tcc:2409:10: error: no matching member function for
      call to 'push_back'
                _M_int.push_back(*__bbegin);
                ~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~

但是我无法理解，因为我的代码中没有显式的.push_back ，我也无法从中得到.push_back ，因为调试模板化类是一场噩梦，而我只是从这个开始。

任何人都知道为什么代码不起作用？

Answer 1

std::piecewise_constant_distribution的默认结果类型为RealType （此处为double ）。 似乎您正在尝试从3种具有不同权重的string选项中进行选择，但这不是std::piecewise_constant_distribution的用途。 它旨在通过给定的权重从数值间隔生成统一的随机值。 如果您修改示例并将interval更改为：

std::vector<double> interval {1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20};

一切都会愉快地编译。 从外观std::discrete_distribution ，您想要std::discrete_distribution ：

...

std::vector<std::string> interval{"Bread", "Castle", "Sun"};
std::vector<float> weights { 0.40f, 0.50f, 0.10f };
std::discrete_distribution<> dist(weights.begin(), weights.end());

std::mt19937 gen(rd());

for(int i = 0; i<N;i++)
{
    std::cout << interval[dist(gen)] << "\n";
}

...

Answer 2

template< class RealType = double >
class piecewise_constant_distribution;

对RealType进行操作，不能对字符串进行操作。 看这里

产生随机浮点数，这些浮点数均匀分布在几个子间隔[bi，bi + 1）的每个子间隔中，每个子间隔都有自己的权重wi。

更改为：

std::vector<float> weights { 0.40f, 0.50f, 0.10f };
std::discrete_distribution<> dist(weights.begin(), weights.end());

std::mt19937 gen(rd());

for(int i = 0; i<N;i++)
{
    std::cout << interval[dist(gen)] << "\n";
}

到此为止。

看到？

告诉一切。
