The Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) has just announced an update of ... The statistical facilities in this release include random number generation, simple calculations on statistical data, ...

What they have created is an algorithm which ensures that seemingly random numbers really are as random as they look. “We believe, and our paper proves, that in quantum experiments much more ...

Java has a "Random" class that lets you generate a random number you use to implement calculations in your Java source code. You use this library to generate a random number and insert the number ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, has formally removed Dual_EC_DRBG from its draft guidance on random number generators.

Then another program triggered the winning numbers to be drawn not at random, but using an algorithm Tipton could solve, according to the criminal complaint. The numbers could be predicted by ...
