Abstract:
The main types of generators for generating pseudo-random numbers uniformly distributed on the interval (0, 1) are presented. Emphasis is placed on generators based on the linear congruential transformation. The properties of the generators with respect to the maximum period are examined. The main statistical tests of goodness-of-fit in terms of uniformity and independence of samples (χ2 test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, serial correlation test, etc.) are described. Then, on the basis of uniformly distributed random numbers on the interval (0, 1), the main techniques for generating random variates are developed, with application to the most widely used discrete and continuous probability distributions. The inversion method, rejection sampling, synthesis and convolution methods, and various characterization techniques based on the properties of the distributions are considered.
