Hardware-software:
- Computer used: SUN SPARC station 2.
- Operating system/version/support: UNIX 4.1.1, OpenWindows Version 2.
- Computational package used: STATGRAPHICS Version 2.6.
- Programming language and compiler: C++, SUN C++ Version 2.
- Execution time (the whole experience with screen outputs): 64 seconds.
- Since all the data is ``well behaved'', there was no need to use
specific or sofisticated numerical subroutines in this study.
Simulation details:
- Pseudorandom uniform random number generator: the generalized
feedback shift register generator reported in Bustos (1990), with
slight modifications in order to improve generation speed. Under test.
- Seeds used: 1234567890 1098765432 1029384756.
- Nonuniform pseudorandom number generators: the Rayleigh variables
were generated using the inversion method (Bustos and Frery, 1992).
