ABSTRACT
Several methods exist for simulating random fields. This paper reviews some of the methods used to simulate stationary random fields in Rn, n ≥ 1. A recent study comparing the traditional turning bands method to a method called the random impact method is given. The results of this study indicate that the random impact model is comparable to the turning bands method in terms of execution time, and in terms of reproducibility of the covariance functions.

Random forests are ensemble methods which grow trees as base learners and combine their predictions by averaging. Random forests are known for their good practical performance, particularly in high-dimensional settings. On the theoretical side, several ...
Bit-Wise Behavior of Random Number Generators
In 1985, G. Marsaglia proposed the m-tuple test, a runs test on bits, as a test of nonrandomness of a sequence of pseudorandom integers. We try this test on the outputs from a large set of pseudorandom number generators and discuss the behavior of the ...
