Less Deterministic Method of Random Number Generation

As the number of uses for random numbers increases, the need for better methods of producing them increases. However, the most widely used method today was introduced over thirty years ago. These linear congruential generators are fast and compact, but the sequences they produce have been under fire for years. Attempts have been made to improve congruential sequences by shuffling them, but while this solves some of the problems, it does not solve all of the problems inherent in such a highly detenninistic method. The need was thus seen for a less detenninistic approach. The following study introduces such an approach, and compares it to accepted generators.Industrial Engineering and Managemen
