| <longdescription> |
| This package contains code for generating high quality random |
| numbers that follow either a uniform or normal distribution. The |
| generated numbers are suitable for use in statistical applications. |
| |
| The uniform PRNG uses Marsaglia's MWC256 (also known as MWC8222) |
| multiply-with-carry generator, which has a period of 2^8222 and |
| fares well in tests of randomness. It is also extremely fast, |
| between 2 and 3 times faster than the Mersenne Twister. |
| |
| Compared to the mersenne-random package, this package has a more |
| convenient API, is faster, and supports more statistical |
| distributions. |
