BS ISO 28640:2010

• 03.120.30 Application of statistical methods

This International Standard specifies methods for generating uniform and non-uniform random variates for Monte Carlo simulation purposes. Cryptographic random number generation methods are not included. This International Standard is applicable, inter alia, by

• researchers, industrial engineers or experts in operations management, who use statistical simulation,

• statisticians who need randomization related to SQC methods, statistical design of experiments or sample surveys,

• applied mathematicians who plan complex optimization procedures that require the use of Monte Carlo methods, and

• software engineers who implement algorithms for random variate generation.
