April 28, 2009 Generating Random Integers With Arbitrary Probabilities I finally laid my hands on Donald Knuthâs The Art of Computer Programming (what a wonderful set of books!), and found a neat algorithm…
April 15, 2009 Estimating a Continuous Distribution from a Sample Set It is sometimes necessary to find the distribution given a sample set from that distribution. If we do not know anything about the distribution,…
April 15, 2009 Generating Random Points from Arbitrary Distributions for 2D and Up I have already covered how to generate random numbers from arbitrary distributions in the one-dimensional case. Here we look at a generalisation of that…
December 7, 2008 Random Steering – 7 Components for a Toolkit Random steering is often a useful for simulating interesting steering motion. In this post we look at components that make up a random steering…
