Random-Number Generator Validity in Simulation Studies: An Investigation of Normality.
Bang, Jung W.; Schumacker, Randall E.; Schlieve, Paul L.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v58 n3 p430-50 Jun 1998
The normality of number distributions generated by various random-number generators were studied, focusing on when the random-number generator reached a normal distribution and at what sample size. Findings suggest the steps that should be followed when using a random-number generator in a Monte Carlo simulation. (SLD)
