Introduction The Ziggurat method for generating random numbers is a special case of the rejection method, where the density of the proposal distribution looks like the silhouette of a Ziggurat . The method can be used to produce very fast random number generators for distributions like the normal distribution or the exponential distribution. The main advantage comes from the fact that for a high…
