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. WWW: http://darcs.serpentine.com/mwc-random PR: ports/142293 Submitted by: Jacula Modyun <jacula(at)gmail.com>

This Haskell 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.
