Need a random package in esl-auctions? #98

Open davidrpugh opened 7 years ago

davidrpugh commented 7 years ago

@bherd-rb, @phelps-sg and @EconomicSL/core-devs I am considering adding a random package to esl-auctions that would contain code for generating random prices, quantities, orders, collections of orders, order books, even auctions. Motivation is that many simulation uses cases involve generating random data structures and it would be nice for users to not be required to write all of the boilerplate code associated with this task.

I started work on a random package earlier today. Much of the work that I did is not germane to auction modeling and would be generically useful for generic simulations. I think it is best to create a new repo random which will be made available on Maven under org.economicsl.random namespace to contain the generic code. Code specific to generating random orders, order books, etc. can still live as a package in the esl-auctions project.
