users.iems.northwestern.eduThe basic use of random variate generators in the random module is as follows: 1. Load the random module: import random 2. Instantiate a generator: g = random.Random() 3. Set the seed: g.seed(1234) 4. Draw a random variate: A random value from 0 to 1: g.random() A random value (oat) from a to b: g.uniform(a,b)

Simulating Data with SAS
support.sas.comA random variate is a particular outcome of a random variable (Devroye 1986). For example, let Xbe a Bernoulli random variable that takes on the value 1 with probability pand the value 0 with probability 1 p. If you draw five observations from the
Standard uniform distribution (from http://www.math.wm.edu ...
www.math.wm.eduThe standard uniform distribution is central to random variate generation. The probability density function is illustrated below. 0 1 0 1 x f(x) The cumulative distribution function on the support of X is F(x)=P(X ≤x)=x 0 <x <1. The survivor function on the support of X is S(x)=P(X ≥x)=1−x 0 <x <1.
