Methods for Modelling and Generating Probabilistic Components in Digital Computer Simulation When the Standard Distributions Are Not Adequate: A Survey.
Abstract
Methods of modelling probabilistic components which are not adequately represented by the standard continuous distributions (such as normal, gamma, and Weibull) are surveyed. The methods are categorized as systems of distributions, approximations to the cumulative distribution function, and four-parameter distributions. Emphasis is on generality, determination of appropriate parameter values, and random variate generation. (Author)
