public AliasMethod(double[] probabilities)
```
    Constructs a new AliasMethod to sample from a discrete distribution and hand back outcomes based on the probability distribution.
    Given as input a list of probabilities corresponding to outcomes 0, 1, ..., n - 1, this constructor creates the probability and alias tables needed to efficiently sample from this distribution.
    
    Parameters:
    
    probabilities - The list of probabilities.

public AliasMethod(double[] probabilities,
                   java.util.SplittableRandom random)
```
    Constructs a new AliasMethod to sample from a discrete distribution and hand back outcomes based on the probability distribution.
    Given as input a list of probabilities corresponding to outcomes 0, 1, ..., n - 1, along with the random number generator that should be used as the underlying generator, this constructor creates the probability and alias tables needed to efficiently sample from this distribution.
    
    Parameters:
    
    probabilities - The list of probabilities.
    
    random2 - The random number generator

public int next()
```
    Samples a value from the underlying distribution. NOT THREAD SAFE
    
    Returns:
    
    A random value sampled from the underlying distribution.
