Continuous uniformly distributed random numbers means the set of random numbers where probability of any number in any integral within a certain range of values is proportional to the ratio of the interval size to the range. The generated random numbers require to be independent & uniform in distribution. There are many different methods to generate the random numbers.
They are:
- Random numbers from table.
- From hardwired device.
- Using pseudo Number generation.
In linear congruential method, we use one initial number (r0 called seed) and few constants. Using the seed and the formula,
ri+1 = (ri ×a + b) (modulo m)
