A tutorial on uniform variate generation

In typical stochastic simulations, randomness is produced by generating a sequence of independent uniform variates (usually real-valued between 0 and 1, or integer-valued in some interval) and transforming them in the appropriate way. In this tutorial, we examine practical ways of generating such va...

Shrnutí:In typical stochastic simulations, randomness is produced by generating a sequence of independent uniform variates (usually real-valued between 0 and 1, or integer-valued in some interval) and transforming them in the appropriate way. In this tutorial, we examine practical ways of generating such variates on a computer. We compare them in terms of ease of implementation, efficiency, flexibility, theoretical support, and statistical robustness. We look in particular at the following classes of generators: linear congruential (in scalar and matrix form), lagged-Fibonacci (including generalized feedback shift register) and combined. We also mention others and give a bibliographic survey of the most recent papers on the subject.
