Logarithmic Transformation-Based Gamma Random Number Generators
Developing efficient gamma variate generators is important for Monte Carlo methods. With a brief review of existing methods for generating gamma random numbers, this article proposes two simple gamma variate generators that are obtained from the ratio- of-uniforms method and based on two logarithmic...
