Next: where and the set Up: Congruential Generators Previous: By taking we find   Contents

In the linear congruential generator, only one previous random variable is used to derive the next one, we can use more of the earlier generated numbers, each associated with a specified multiplier - a compound generator. If the last k generated numbers are used, we can write

\( \nu _{i} \)=(a.\( n^{(i-1)}+c) \) mod m
