โœฆ Synopsis

We develop an exact simple random variate generator for the theta distribution, which occurs as the limit distribution of the height of nearly all models of uniform random trees. Even though the density is only known as an infinite sum of functions, our algorithm does not require any summation.

In this paper, we discuss e cient exact random variate generation for the Bessel distribution. The expected time of the algorithm is uniformly bounded over all choices of the parameters, and the algorithm avoids any computation of Bessel functions or Bessel ratios.
