This International Standard specifies methods for generating uniform and non-uniform random variates for Monte Carlo simulation purposes. Cryptographic random number generation methods are not included. This International Standard is applicable, inter alia, by

  • researchers, industrial engineers or experts in operations management, who use statistical simulation,

  • statisticians who need randomization related to SQC methods, statistical design of experiments or sample surveys,

  • applied mathematicians who plan complex optimization procedures that require the use of Monte Carlo methods, and

  • software engineers who implement algorithms for random variate generation.
