\title{Sample a random value from a parameter or a parameter set uniformly.}
\usage{
sampleValue(par, discrete.names = FALSE, trafo = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{par}{(\link{Param} | \link{ParamSet})\cr
Parameter or parameter set.}
\item{discrete.names}{(\code{logical(1)})\cr
Should names be sampled for discrete parameters or values instead?
Default is \code{FALSE}.}
\item{trafo}{(\code{logical(1)})\cr
Transform all parameters by using theirs respective transformation
functions. Default is \code{FALSE}.}
}
\value{
The return type is determined by the type of the parameter. For a set
a named list of such values in the correct order is returned.
}
\description{
Sample a random value from a parameter or a parameter set uniformly.
Dependent parameters whose requirements are not satisfied are represented by a scalar NA in the output.
}
\examples{
# bounds are necessary here, can't sample with Inf bounds:
u = makeNumericParam("x", lower = 0, upper = 1)
# returns a random number between 0 and 1:
sampleValue(u)
p = makeDiscreteParam("x", values = c("a", "b", "c"))
# can be either "a", "b" or "c"
sampleValue(p)
p = makeIntegerVectorParam("x", len = 2, lower = 1, upper = 5)
# vector of two random integers between 1 and 5:
sampleValue(p)
ps = makeParamSet(
makeNumericParam("x", lower = 1, upper = 10),
makeIntegerParam("y", lower = 1, upper = 10),
makeDiscreteParam("z", values = 1:2)
)
sampleValue(ps)
