Rectangles Algorithm for Generating Normal Variates
We propose an algorithm for generating normal random variates that is based on the acceptance–rejection method and uses a piecewise majorizing function. The piecewise function has 2048 equal-area pieces, 2046 of which are constant, and the two extreme pieces are curves that majorize the tails. The proposed algorithm has not only good performance from correlation induction perspective, but also ...
متن کاملGenerating Antithetic Random Variates in Simulation of a Replacement Process by Rejection Method
When the times between renewals in a renewal process are not exponentially distributed, simulation can become a viable method of analysis. The renewal function is estimated through simulation for a renewal process simulation for a renewal process with gamma distributed renewal times and the shape parameter a > 1. Gamma random deviates will be generated by means of the so called Acceptance Rejec...
متن کاملAn Improvement of Minh’s Algorithm for Generating Gamma Variates with Any Value of Shape Parameter
The algorithm of Minh as in [Minh (1988)] was used to generate variates having a gamma distribution with shape parameter a>1 only. In this paper, a method, which is the improvement of the algorithm of Minh is introduced for the generation of independent random variables from a gamma distribution with all values of shape parameter and is compared with the method of Marsaglia and Tsang. By means ...
متن کاملThe Monty Python Method for Generating Gamma Variables
The Monty Python Method for generating random variables takes a decreasing density, cuts it into three pieces, then, using area-preserving transformations, folds it into a rectangle of area 1. A random point (x; y) from that rectangle is used to provide a variate from the given density, most of the time as x itself or a linear function of x. The decreasing density is usually the right half of a...
متن کاملGenerating generalized inverse Gaussian random variates
The generalized inverse Gaussian distribution has become quite popular in financial engineering. The most popular random variate generator is due to Dagpunar (1989). It is an acceptance-rejection algorithm method based on the Ratio-of-uniforms method. However, it is not uniformly fast as it has a prohibitive large rejection constant when the distribution is close to the gamma distribution. Rece...
