Section 3 -- Random Number Generators 

In this section we introduce the most common algorithms used in random number generators -- the linear congruential, lagged Fibonacci, and shift register generators, and techniques which combine two or more of these generators. More detailed information can be found in a number of other review articles [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].

  1. Linear Congruential Generators
  2. Lagged Fibonnaci Generators
  3. Shift Register Generators
  4. Combined Generators
