The framework contains a wealth of utilities for generating random data.

Markov chain

The discrete Markov chain algorithm takes an existing body of data and allows you to create random variations. It's based on a weighted graph of probabilities reflecting the statistical distribution of the data distribution. Usually the Markov chain is used to generate random text and the framework contains various easy-to-use methods to generate random texts, like

• the classic lorem ipsum texts
• philosophical texts
• biology articles
• latin paragraphs
• medical abstracts
• texts in various languages (English, Bulgarian, Spanish...)
