Multiple use of random numbers in discrete-event simulation

Author

  • Kämpke, Thomas

Abstract

A method is presented for using a single (0, 1) uniform random number to yield stochastically independent random numbers having a given finite distribution. The adaptation of the alias method to the given procedure is outlined. An application to simulate Brownian motion is given.
