Continuous Distribution Functions

Continuous Distribution Functions. Jake Blanchard Spring 2010. The Normal Distribution. This is probably the most famous of all distributions At one time, many felt that this was the underlying distribution of nature and that it would govern all measurements

Random Number Generators

Random Number Generators. Jake Blanchard Spring 2010. A Little History. Initial random number generators were congruential For example, a=13, c=0, m=31, x 0 =1. Congruential Operators. Result is integers between 1 and 30 To get U(0,1), divide by m (31)
