/**
 * Modified ziggurat method for sampling from Gaussian and exponential distributions.

 * McFarland, C.D. (2016)<br>
 * "A modified ziggurat algorithm for generating exponentially and normally distributed pseudorandom numbers".<br>
 * <i>Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation</i> <b>86</b>, 1281-1294.
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>Note: The algorithm is a modification of the
 * {@link ZigguratNormalizedGaussianSampler Marsaglia and Tsang "Ziggurat" method}.
 * The modification improves performance by:
 * <ol>
 * <li>Creating layers of the ziggurat entirely inside the probability density function (area B);
 * this allows the majority of samples to be obtained without checking if the value is in the
 * region of the ziggurat layer that requires a rejection test.
 * <li>For samples not within the main ziggurat (area A) alias sampling is used to choose a
 * layer and rejection of points above the PDF is accelerated using precomputation of
 * triangle regions entirely below or above the curve.

    // =========================================================================
    // Implementation note:
    //
    // This has been adapted from the reference c implementation provided
    // by C.D. McFarland:
    //
    // https://github.com/cd-mcfarland/fast_prng
    //
    // The adaption was based on the reference as of July-2021.
    // The code uses similar naming conventions from the exponential.h and normal.h
    // reference. Naming has been updated to be consistent in the exponential and normal
    // samplers. Comments from the c source have been included.
    // Branch frequencies have been measured and added as comments.
    //
    // Notable changes based on performance tests across JDKs and platforms:
    // The generation of unsigned longs has been changed to use bit shifts to favour
    // the significant bits of the long. The interpolation of X and Y uses a single method.
    // Recursion in the exponential sampler has been avoided.
    //
    // Note: The c implementation uses a RNG where the current value can be obtained
    // without advancing the generator. The entry point to the sample generation
    // always has this value as a previously unused value. The RNG is advanced when new
    // bits are required. This Java implementation will generate new values with calls
    // to the RNG and cache the value if it is to be recycled.
    //
    // The script used to generate the tables has been modified to scale values by 2^63
    // or 2^64 instead of 2^63 - 1 and 2^64 - 1. This allows a random 64-bit long to
    // represent a uniform value in [0, 1) as the numerator of a fraction with a value of
    // [0, 2^63) / 2^63 or [0, 2^64) / 2^64 respectively (the denominator is assumed).
    // Scaling of the high precision float values in the script is exact before
    // conversion to integers.
    //
    // Entries in the probability alias table are always compared to a long with the same
    // lower 8-bits since these bits identify the index in the table.
    // The entries in the IPMF tables have had the lower 8-bits set to zero. If these bits
    // are >= 128 then 256 is added to the alias table to round the number. The alias table
    // thus represents the numerator of a fraction with an unsigned magnitude of [0, 2^56 - 1)
    // and denominator 2^56. The numerator is effectively left-shifted 8 bits and 2^63 is
    // subtracted to store the value using a signed 64-bit long.
    //
    // Computation of these tables is dependent on the platform used to run the python script.
    // The X and Y tables are identical to 1 ULP. The MAP is identical. The IPMF table is computed
    // using rebalancing of the overhang probabilities to create the alias map. The table has
    // been observed to exhibit differences in the last 7 bits of the 56 bits used (ignoring the
    // final 8 bits) for the exponential and 11 bits for the normal. This corresponds to a
    // probability of 2^-49 (1.78e-15), or 2^-45 (2.84e-14) respectively. The tables may be
    // regenerated in future versions if the reference script receives updates to improve
    // accuracy.
    //
    // Method Description
    //
    // The ziggurat is constructed using layers that fit exactly within the probability density
    // function. Each layer has the same area. This area is chosen to be a fraction of the total
    // area under the PDF with the denominator of the fraction a power of 2. These tables
    // use 1/256 as the volume of each layer. The remaining part of the PDF that is not represented
    // by the layers is the overhang. There is an overhang above each layer and a final tail.
    // The following is a ziggurat with 3 layers:
    //
    //     Y3 |\
    //        | \  j=3
    //        |  \
    //     Y2 |   \
    //        |----\
    //        |    |\
    //        | i=2| \ j=2
    //        |    |  \
    //     Y1 |--------\
    //        | i=1   | \ j=1
    //        |       |  \
    //     Y0 |-----------\
    //        | i=0      | \ j=0 (tail)
    //        +--------------
    //        X3  |   |  X0
    //            |   X1
    //            X2
    //
    // There are N layers referenced using i in [0, N). The overhangs are referenced using
    // j in [1, N]; j=0 is the tail. Note that N is < 256.
    // Information about the ziggurat is pre-computed:
    // X = The length of each layer (supplemented with zero for Xn)
    // Y = PDF(X) for each layer (supplemented with PDF(x=0) for Yn)
    //
    // Sampling is performed as:
    // - Pick index i in [0, 256).
    // - If i is a layer then return a uniform deviate multiplied by the layer length
    // - If i is not a layer then sample from the overhang or tail
    //
    // The overhangs and tail have different volumes. Sampling must pick a region j based the
    // probability p(j) = vol(j) / sum (vol(j)). This is performed using alias sampling.
    // (See Walker, AJ (1977) "An Efficient Method for Generating Discrete Random Variables with
    // General Distributions" ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software 3 (3), 253-256.)
    // This uses a table that has been constructed to evenly balance A categories with
    // probabilities around the mean into B sections each allocated the 'mean'. For the 4
    // regions in the ziggurat shown above balanced into 8 sections:
    //
    // 3
    // 3
    // 32
    // 32
    // 321
    // 321   => 31133322
    // 3210     01233322
    //
    // section  abcdefgh
    //
    // A section with an index below the number of categories represents the category j and
    // optionally an alias. Sections with an index above the number
    // of categories are entirely filled with the alias. The region is chosen
    // by selecting a section and then checking if a uniform deviate is above the alias
    // threshold. If so then the alias is used in place of the original index.
    //
    // Alias sampling uses a table size of 256. This allows fast computation of the index
    // as a power of 2. The probability threshold is stored as the numerator of a fraction
    // allowing direct comparison with a uniform long deviate.
    //
    // MAP = Alias map for j in [0, 256)
    // IPMF = Alias probability threshold for j
    //
    // Note: The IPMF table is larger than the number of regions. Thus the final entries
    // must represent a probability of zero so that the alias is always used.
    //
    // If the selected region j is the tail then sampling uses a sampling method appropriate
    // for the PDF. If the selected region is an overhang then sampling generates a random
    // coordinate inside the rectangle covering the overhang using random deviates u1 and u2:
    //
    //    X[j],Y[j]
    //        |\-->u1
    //        | \  |
    //        |  \ |
    //        |   \|    Overhang j (with hypotenuse not pdf(x))
    //        |    \
    //        |    |\
    //        |    | \
    //        |    u2 \
    //        +-------- X[j-1],Y[j-1]
    //
    // The random point (x,y) has coordinates:
    // x = X[j] + u1 * (X[j-1] - X[j])
    // y = Y[j] + u2 * (Y[j-1] - Y[j])
    //
    // The expressions can be evaluated from the opposite direction using (1-u), e.g:
    // y = Y[j-1] + (1-u2) * (Y[j] - Y[j-1])
    // This allows the large value to subtract the small value before multiplying by u.
    // This method is used in the reference c code. It uses an addition subtraction to create 1-u.
    // Note that the tables X and Y have been scaled by 2^-63. This allows U to be a uniform
    // long in [0, 2^63). Thus the value c in 'c + m * x' must be scaled up by 2^63.
    //
    // If point (x,y) is below pdf(x) then the sample is accepted.
    // If u2 > u1 then the point is below the hypotenuse.
    // If u1 > u2 then the point is above the hypotenuse.
    // The distance above/below the hypotenuse is the difference u2 - u1: negative is above;
    // positive is below.
    //
    // The pdf(x) may lie completely above or below the hypotenuse. If the region under the pdf
    // is the inside then the curve is referred to as either convex (above) or concave (below).
    // The exponential function is concave for all regions. The normal function is convex below
    // x=1, and concave above x=1. x=1 is the point of inflection.
    //
    //        Concave                   Convex
    //        |-                        |----
    //        | -                       |    ---
    //        |  -                      |       --
    //        |   --                    |         --
    //        |     --                  |           -
    //        |       ---               |            -
    //        |          ----           |             -
    //
    // Optimisations:
    //
    // Regions that are concave can detect a point (x,y) above the hypotenuse and reflect the
    // point in the hypotenuse by swapping u1 and u2.
    //
    // Regions that are convex can detect a point (x,y) below the hypotenuse and immediately accept
    // the sample.
    //
    // The maximum distance of pdf(x) from the hypotenuse can be precomputed. This can be done for
    // each region or by taking the largest distance across all regions. This value can be
    // compared to the distance between u1 and u2 and the point immediately accepted (concave)
    // or rejected (convex) as it is known to be respectively inside or outside the pdf.
    // This sampler uses a single value for the maximum distance of pdf(x) from the hypotenuse.
    // For the normal distribution this is two values to separate the maximum for convex and
    // concave regions.
