  2. Random number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number

    When a cubical die is rolled, a random number from 1 to 6 is obtained. A random number is generated by a random process such as throwing Dice. Individual numbers can't be predicted, but the likely result of generating a large quantity of numbers can be predicted by specific mathematical series and statistics.

  3. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    It can be shown that if is a pseudo-random number generator for the uniform distribution on (,) and if is the CDF of some given probability distribution , then is a pseudo-random number generator for , where : (,) is the percentile of , i.e. ():= {: ()}. Intuitively, an arbitrary distribution can be simulated from a simulation of the standard ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle

    Their description of the algorithm used pencil and paper; a table of random numbers provided the randomness. The basic method given for generating a random permutation of the numbers 1 through N goes as follows: Write down the numbers from 1 through N. Pick a random number k between one and the number of unstruck numbers remaining (inclusive).

  5. Rider optimization algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider_optimization_algorithm

    The rider optimization algorithm (ROA) [1] [5] [6] is devised based on a novel computing method, namely fictional computing that undergoes series of process to solve the issues of optimizations using imaginary facts and notions. ROA relies on the groups of rider that struggle to reach the target.

  6. Randomized algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomized_algorithm

    A randomized algorithm is an algorithm that employs a degree of randomness as part of its logic or procedure. The algorithm typically uses uniformly random bits as an auxiliary input to guide its behavior, in the hope of achieving good performance in the "average case" over all possible choices of random determined by the random bits; thus either the running time, or the output (or both) are ...

  7. Template:Random number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Random_number

    Varying prime (provided that they are odd prime numbers) generates pseudo-random that have independent random distribution. Note that when count is even (such as 100 by default, or 1000 in the examples above), the generated numbers (on the same page) are all odd or all even when you are varying the seed or prime , unless half of the calls use ...

  8. Pseudorandom binary sequence - Wikipedia

    = is the maximum number [4]: §3 of bits that are in the sequence. The k indicates the size of a unique word of data in the sequence. If you segment the N bits of data into every possible word of length k , you will be able to list every possible combination of 0s and 1s for a k-bit binary word, with the exception of the all-0s word.

  9. Bogosort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogosort

    Another sorting algorithm based on random numbers. If the list is not in order, it picks two items at random and swaps them, then checks to see if the list is sorted. The running time analysis of a bozosort is more difficult, but some estimates are found in H. Gruber's analysis of "perversely awful" randomized sorting algorithms. [1]
