Normally distributed random numbers are commonly used in scientific computing in various fields. It is important to generate a set of random numbers as close to a normal distribution as possible for reducing initial fluctuations. Two types of samples from a uniform distribution are examined as source samples for inverse transform sampling methods. Three types of inverse transform sampling methods with new approximations of inverse cumulative distribution functions are also discussed for converting uniformly distributed source samples to normally distributed samples.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
