Proper Citation: Generate Pseudo-Random Numbers (RRID:SCR_006535)

Description: This module implements pseudo-random number generators for various distributions. For integers, uniform selection from a range. For sequences, uniform selection of a random element, a function to generate a random permutation of a list in-place, and a function for random sampling without replacement. On the real line, there are functions to compute uniform, normal (Gaussian), lognormal, negative exponential, gamma, and beta distributions. For generating distributions of angles, the von Mises distribution is available. Sponsors: This resource is supported by ASTi logo Advanced Simulation Technology Inc.
