Inverse transform sampling (also known as inversion sampling, the inverse probability integral transform, the inverse transformation method, or the Smirnov transform) is a basic method for pseudo-random number sampling, i.e., for generating sample numbers at random from any probability distribution given its cumulative distribution function.
It means that each generator is associated to a fixed IMP polynomial. Such a condition is sufficient for maximum period of each inversive congruential generator [8] and finally for maximum period of the compound generator. The construction of IMP polynomials is the most efficient approach to find parameters for inversive congruential generator ...
In numerical analysis, inverse quadratic interpolation is a root-finding algorithm, meaning that it is an algorithm for solving equations of the form f(x) = 0. The idea is to use quadratic interpolation to approximate the inverse of f. This algorithm is rarely used on its own, but it is important because it forms part of the popular Brent's method.
A user will input a number and the Calculator will use an algorithm to search for and calculate closed-form expressions or suitable functions that have roots near this number. Hence, the calculator is of great importance for those working in numerical areas of experimental mathematics.
An integral transform "maps" an equation from its original "domain" into another domain, in which manipulating and solving the equation may be much easier than in the original domain. The solution can then be mapped back to the original domain with the inverse of the integral transform.
The inverse Gaussian distribution is a two-parameter exponential family with natural parameters −λ/(2μ 2) and −λ/2, and natural statistics X and 1/X. For λ > 0 {\displaystyle \lambda >0} fixed, it is also a single-parameter natural exponential family distribution [ 4 ] where the base distribution has density
A modular multiplicative inverse of a modulo m can be found by using the extended Euclidean algorithm. The Euclidean algorithm determines the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two integers, say a and m. If a has a multiplicative inverse modulo m, this gcd must be 1. The last of several equations produced by the algorithm may be solved for this gcd.
