SLARND
SLARND returns a random real number from a uniform or normal distribution.
[in] | IDIST | IDIST is INTEGER Specifies the distribution of the random numbers: = 1: uniform (0,1) = 2: uniform (-1,1) = 3: normal (0,1) |
[in,out] | ISEED | ISEED is INTEGER array, dimension (4) On entry, the seed of the random number generator; the array elements must be between 0 and 4095, and ISEED(4) must be odd. On exit, the seed is updated. |
This routine calls the auxiliary routine SLARAN to generate a random real number from a uniform (0,1) distribution. The Box-Muller method is used to transform numbers from a uniform to a normal distribution.
