# bdm::mDirich Class Reference

## Detailed Description

Random Walk on Dirichlet Using simple assignment

hence, mean value = rvc, variance = (k+1)*mean*mean;

The greater k is, the greater is the variance of the random walk;

is used as regularizing element to avoid corner cases, i.e. when one element of rvc is zero. By default is it set to 0.1;
