Notice that a random variate with density [g.sub.s](x) is generated by inversion.

If (U [is less than] |b|), X [left arrow] -log(U/|b|)/ a (X is an exponential random variate) Else Generate two independent uniform random numbers [U.sub.1], [U.sub.2]; X [left arrow] -log([U.sub.1] * [U.sub.2])/a.

Voratas Kachitvichyanukul's research interests include the development of integrated simulation environment, special purpose simulation language random variate generation, and industrial applications of artificial intelligence techniques.

To generate the transition probability matrix for each distribution, seven random variates were generated first.

Topics include a methodology for evaluating embedded elements, hardware generation of random variates with arbitrary distributions, a multithreaded soft processor for SoPC area reduction, systematic characterization of programmable packet processing pipelines, and advanced components in the variable precision floating-point library.

Numerical evaluation of the differential equations by using random variates at each time step may be a mechanism to evaluate how the variability of a and b within a recruitment period are translated into the variability structure around a stock-recruitment relationship.

When the BRDF is represented discretely, either by taking measurements over the hemisphere or by sampling a non-invertible functional form, another method must be used to generate random variates for Monte Carlo integration.

Ten thousand sets of random variates of sample size n, n = 10, 30, and 50, from each non-normal skew-exponential-power distribution considered, have been generated.

Data values for each of five patterns were generated, with values deviating from the pattern by independently and normally distributed random variates with zero mean and constant variance of 9.5 IDSC units.

In addition to the BMT, several methods for generating standard-normal random variates are presented in [2], [4], and [12].
