    public class Normal
extends adams.data.random.AbstractDistributionBasedRandomNumberGenerator<Double>
    Generates random numbers from a normal distribution with specified mean and standard deviation.

    Valid options are: 

    -D <int> (property: debugLevel)
    The greater the number the more additional info the scheme may output to
    the console (0 = off).
    default: 0
    minimum: 0
 
    -seed <long> (property: seed)
    The seed value for the random number generator.
    default: 1
 
    -mean <double> (property: mean)
    The mean to use for the distribution.
    default: 0.0
 
    -stdev <double> (property: stdev)
    The standard deviation to use for the distribution.
    default: 1.0
