  2. List of random number generators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_random_number...

    Random number generators are important in many kinds of technical applications, including physics, engineering or mathematical computer studies (e.g., Monte Carlo simulations), cryptography and gambling (on game servers ). This list includes many common types, regardless of quality or applicability to a given use case.

  3. Random seed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_seed

    A random seed (or seed state, or just seed) is a number (or vector) used to initialize a pseudorandom number generator. For a seed to be used in a pseudorandom number generator, it does not need to be random.

  4. Random number generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

    Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance is generated. This means that the particular outcome sequence will contain some patterns detectable in hindsight but impossible to foresee.

  5. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    A linear congruential generator ( LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation. The method represents one of the oldest and best-known pseudorandom number generator algorithms.

  6. Linear-feedback shift register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-feedback_shift_register

    In computing, a linear-feedback shift register ( LFSR) is a shift register whose input bit is a linear function of its previous state. The most commonly used linear function of single bits is exclusive-or (XOR). Thus, an LFSR is most often a shift register whose input bit is driven by the XOR of some bits of the overall shift register value.

  7. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), also known as a deterministic random bit generator (DRBG), is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers.

  8. Wichmann–Hill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichmann–Hill

    Wichmann–Hill is a pseudorandom number generator proposed in 1982 by Brian Wichmann and David Hill. It consists of three linear congruential generators with different prime moduli, each of which is used to produce a uniformly distributed number between 0 and 1.

  9. Middle-square method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle-square_method

    Directed graph of all 100 2-digit pseudorandom numbers obtained using the middle-square method with n = 2. In mathematics and computer science, the middle-square method is a method of generating pseudorandom numbers.

  10. Pseudorandom binary sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_binary_sequence

    A pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS), pseudorandom binary code or pseudorandom bitstream is a binary sequence that, while generated with a deterministic algorithm, is difficult to predict [1] and exhibits statistical behavior similar to a truly random sequence.

  11. Huffman coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding

    In computer science and information theory, a Huffman code is a particular type of optimal prefix code that is commonly used for lossless data compression.The process of finding or using such a code is Huffman coding, an algorithm developed by David A. Huffman while he was a Sc.D. student at MIT, and published in the 1952 paper "A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes".
