  2. Template:Random number - Wikipedia

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number

    Random numbers are frequently used in algorithms such as Knuth's 1964-developed algorithm [1] for shuffling lists. (popularly known as the Knuth shuffle or the Fisher–Yates shuffle, based on work they did in 1938). In 1999, a new feature was added to the Pentium III: a hardware-based random number generator.

  4. Mersenne Twister - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister

    The 'Extract number' section shows an example where integer 0 has already been output and the index is at integer 1. 'Generate numbers' is run when all integers have been output. For a w -bit word length, the Mersenne Twister generates integers in the range [ 0 , 2 w − 1 ] {\displaystyle [0,2^{w}-1]} .

    GNU Octave is a scientific programming language for scientific computing and numerical computation.Octave helps in solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with MATLAB.

  6. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    For example, squaring the number "1111" yields "1234321", which can be written as "01234321", an 8-digit number being the square of a 4-digit number. This gives "2343" as the "random" number. Repeating this procedure gives "4896" as the next result, and so on. Von Neumann used 10 digit numbers, but the process was the same.

  7. Inverse transform sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_transform_sampling

    Inverse transform sampling (also known as inversion sampling, the inverse probability integral transform, the inverse transformation method, or the Smirnov transform) is a basic method for pseudo-random number sampling, i.e., for generating sample numbers at random from any probability distribution given its cumulative distribution function.

  8. Diehard tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diehard_tests

    A random 32×32 binary matrix is formed, each row a 32-bit random integer. The rank is determined. That rank can be from 0 to 32, ranks less than 29 are rare, and their counts are pooled with those for rank 29. Ranks are found for 40000 such random matrices and a chi square test is performed on counts for ranks 32, 31, 30 and ≤ 29.

  9. Counter-based random number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-based_random...

    We can think of a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) as a function that transforms a series of bits known as the state into a new state and a random number. That is, given a PRNG function and an initial state s t a t e 0 {\displaystyle \mathrm {state} _{0}} , we can repeatedly use the PRNG to generate a sequence of states and random numbers.
