1. Should the functions generate the necessary uniforms, or accept a list of uniforms? In other words, shuld the signature be
wgn :: Int -- ^ seed to generate the uniforms -> [Double] -- ^ list of Gaussian random variables
I don't like this approach (better to pass in a list of uniforms, or a generator), but if you take it, Int isn't good enough. I might want to provide more than 31 bits of entropy to start off the generator! The Linux random(3) function uses 1984 bits of entropy, for example. --KW 8-)
