hi all,
Could anyone tell me how to generate a sequence of random numbers
drawn from a normal (or lognormal) distribution. All the random
generators in JFC are from uniform distribution. Do I need some
stat package for this?
Thanks for reading,
T.

See the nextGaussian method in the Random class of java.util.
