abstract class Variate extends Error

The Variate abstract class serves as a base class for all the random variate (RV) generators. They use one of the Random Number Generators (RNG's) from Random to generate numbers following their particular distribution. Random Variate Generators (RVG's) for thirty popular probability distributions are implemented as extensions of Variate. Still need to add one.
