-RandomValueSampler
-========
-
-Class to allow sampling from very, very simple probability mass functions
-(uniform and arbitrary non-uniform). Values can be any object; 
-for uniform distributions, a Range can be used to specify a range of
-discrete values.
-
-To specify a uniform distribution, only the values need to be specified, and
-can be:
-  - an Array of values (it is assumed the values are distinct, but you may
-    insert duplicates if you know what you're doing and realize you're probably
-    no longer dealing with a truly uniform distribution anymore (but this could
-    be used to "cheat" to generate distributions that are 'nearly' uniform where
-    probability mass is quantized (e.g. a 1/3, 2/3 distribution). This may
-    prove to be a more efficient implementation in such cases as the non-uniform
-    pmf is more computationally demanding).
-  - a ruby Range object; RandomValueSampler honors the inclusion/exclusion of last/end
-    of the Range (as defined by exclude_end? method). the Range must be of
-    numeric type unless you REALLY know what you're doing (e.g. the Xs class
-    example in the Range rdoc won't work).
-  - a single numeric type specifying an upper bound (zero is assumed as 
-    lower bound--both zero and upper bound are included in distribution)
-
-To specify a non-uniform distribution, the values and probability mass
-must be specified. It is not necessary for the probability mass to
-represent a true probability distribution (needn't sum to 1), as the class
-will normalize accordingly. The pmf may be specified as a Hash or an Array:
-  - Hash, where the hash keys are the possible values the random variable
-    can take on; the hash values are the 'frequency counts' or non-normalized
-    probability mass
-  - Array, each element of which is a two-element array. each two element
-    array's first element is the value; the last element is the frequency
-    count for that value
-
-Examples
-=========
- 
-require 'random_value_sampler'
-
-uniform
--------
-
-# generate a uniform pmf over [1,5]
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_uniform([1,2,3,4,5])
-
-# generate a uniform pmf over some words
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_uniform(["one", "two", "buckle", "my", "shoe"])
-
-# generate a 'quantized' pmf by using duplicate entries
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_uniform([1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3])
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_uniform(["the", "the", "a", "the", "and", "zyzzyva"])
-
-# generate a uniform pmf over [1,5] using a Range
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_uniform(1..5)
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_uniform(1...6)
-
-# generate a uniform pmf over [0,5] by specifying upper limit
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_uniform(5)
-
-non-uniform
------------
-
-# generate a non-uniform pmf using the Hash form:
-
-# values are 5 and 10, with probability 0.4 and 0.6, respectively
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_non_uniform( { 5 => 20, 10 => 30 } )
-
-# values are "probable", "possible" and "not likely" with probability
-# 0.75, 0.20 and 0.05, respectively.
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_non_uniform( { "probable" => 75,
-                            "possible" => 20, 
-                            "not likely" => 5 } )
-
-# generate a non-uniform pmf using the Array form (same examples as above)
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_non_uniform( [ [5,20], [10,30] )
-a = RandomValueSampler.new_non_uniform( [ ["probable",75],
-                            ["possible" => 20], 
-                            ["not likely" => 5 ] ] )
