Method new()

Create a new Normal object.

Usage

Normal$new(sc, size, num_partitions, seed)

Arguments

sc

A spark_connection.

size

integer(1). The number of deviates to generate.

num_partitions

integer(1). Number of partitions in the RDD (default: sc.defaultParallelism).

seed

integer(1). The seed to set.

Returns

A new Normal object which is a RDD[Double] comprised of comprised of i.i.d. samples ~ N(0.0, 1.0)..

Examples

\dontrun{
  sc <- sparklyr::spark_connect(master = "local")
  norm <- Normal$new(
    sc = sc,
    size = 10L,
    num_partitions = 1L,
    seed = 1L
  )
}

Examples

\dontrun{
  norm$collect()
}

---

Method count()

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
