A Random Number Generator for Continuous Random Variables Based on an Interpolation Procedure of Akima,
Abstract
A Fortran-IV subroutine is given which may be used to generate random observations of a continuous random variable from a table of discrete observations. This subroutine employs Akima's algorithm for cubic spline interpolation. The compatibility of problem and algorithm is such that this simple routine gives very good results. (Author)
