scope:

This Standard specifies the uniform random numbers for Monte Carlo simulation purpose, the methods for random number generation from various distributions such as the normal distribution, and the methods of randomization. However, in this Standard, cryptogra phic random n umher -g-ene-ritloii--metJiods -are -ii-at included. This Standard is applicable, inter alia, to the following.

- 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 method.

- Software engineers who implement algorithms for random number generation.

NOTE: The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows:

ISO 28640: 2010 Random variate generation methods (MOD)

The symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standards and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/IEC Guide 21-1.
