ASTM D 5124 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practice for Testing and Use of a Random Number Generator in Lumber and Wood Products Simulation
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 10, 1996
Scope:
This practice gives a minimum testing procedure of computer
generation routines for the standard uniform distribution. Random
observations from the standard uniform distribution,
RU, range from zero to one with every value
between zero and one having an equal chance of occurrence.
The tests described in this practice only support the basic use
of random number generators, not their use in complex or extremely
precise simulations.
Simulation details for the normal, lognormal, 2-parameter
Weibull and 3-parameter Weibull probability distributions are
presented.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. See specific warning statement in
5.5.3.
