We give random variate generators for the generalized hyperbolic secant distribution and related families such as Morris's skewed generalized hyperbolic secant family and a family introduced by Laha and Lukacs. The rejection method generators are uniformly fast over the parameter space and are based
We describe a vectorizable implementation of a numerical inversion method to generate approximately Gaussian distributed random numbers. This method is, on the CRAY-YMP computer, several times faster than the standard Box-Muller-Wiener algorithm. The validity of the approximation is discussed. (1)
Within the context of non-parametric Bayesian inference, Dykstra and Laud (1981) define an extended gamma (EG) process and use it as a prior on increasing hazard rates. The attractive features of the extended gamma (EG) process, among them its capability to index distribution functions that are abso
