A fast procedure for generating random numbers by a modification of the Marsaglia-Maclaren method
(University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1974)Marsaglia and Maclaren combined two linear congruential generators in order to produce a pseudo random number sequence uniformly distributed in the range [0,2³⁵]. Their method is a considerable improvement compared with ...
