This survey paper describes very briefly the majority of methods for computing general (pseudo) random numbers from the uniformly distributed ones. These methods are: inverse of distribution functions, composition, acceptance/rejection, competing risks, thinning, special relations. The paper gives formulas and algorithms (in FORTRAN).

| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 4 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
