Working of Number.randomGaussian(Double,Double) in MonteCarlo dataset

How does Number.randomGaussian(Double,Double) work in Montecarlo dataset?

The help specifies that the output is a random string with values like 0.98, -3.90 but i find the find the output returning all integers.

Any insight into the working of above function will be of great help

Thanks

I have created an example where I successfully get the results in "Double" format.

Please see the following snapshots in the attached doc:

 

  • the results page, showing that property EricsDouble has been populated with a Double from randomGuassian
  • The makeParams activity I created to perform DataSet-Execute on my EricsMonte data-set
  • The EricsMonte data-set I created
  • The EricsDouble property I defined

 

NOTE:  I did this on Pega platform 7.3.

Actually, the out is decimal. Since i have assigned the value to an integer property the decimal value is getting trimmed :)

Can you explain in simple terms what the two parameters for the Number.randomGaussian are?

Thanks
