Non-uniform random variate generation is an established research area in the intersection of mathematics, statistics and computer science. Although random variate generation with popular standard distributions have become part of every course on discrete event simulation and on Monte Carlo methods, the recent concept of universal (also called automatic or black-box) random variate generation can only be found dispersed in literature. This new concept has great practical advantages that are little known to most simulation practitioners. Being unique in its overall organization the book covers not only the mathematical and statistical theory, but also deals with the implementation of such methods. All algorithms introduced in the book are designed for practical use in simulation and have been coded and made available by the authors. Examples of possible applications of the presented algorithms (including option pricing, VaR and Bayesian statistics) are presented at the end of the book.

Críticas
From the reviews:
"The book discusses random variate generation generally, with some emphasis on methods that use the concavity properties of transformations of a density to design rejection algorithms. ... Overall, this is a good book that accurately reflects the current state of the art in designing generation algorithms, including many contributions from the authors." (Michael J. Evans, Mathematical Reviews, 2006 b)
"The main topic of the book are universal generators, i.e. the generators usable for a broad class of distributions ... . It benefits from the long term research of the authors. All known important methods for the construction of universal nonuniform generators are presented together with the algorithms of corresponding generators. ... The book can serve as a monograph and as a textbook. The book is a good choice for everybody interested in nonuniform random number generators." (Jaroslav Král’, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1038 (13), 2004)
"Many statistical methods make use of simulation. ... What if we want to simulate from a t-distribution with parameter 2.3? What if the distribution is specified by means of its hazard function? This fascinating book is the place to look for answers to questions such as these. ... where the book is particularly interesting is when it presents a variety of ‘automatic methods’. ... This book is essential reading for users of simulation and is destined to become a classical reference for the area." (B.J.T. Morgan, Short Book Reviews, Vol. 24 (3), 2004)
"This important book deals with the algorithmic development of the generation of random variables for discrete and continuous ‘large distribution’ families. ... The authors introduce a library of algorithms that can generate random variates from a multitude of distributions. These universal generators are termed UNU.RAN and are available from the authors’ Web site. ... The mathematics that are introduced are used intelligently, adding value to the practical edge. The coverage of the literature is comprehensive:-the-best that I have met." (Mohamed Afzal Norat, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Vol. 168 (1), 2005)
"This book ... has its focus on an area which is usually not covered extensively, namely the search for automatic generators. ... The book is also remarkable in that it is both a joy to read for a mathematician and a helpful guidance and reference for practical algorithms. ... the text is a comprehensive and well-structured overview over the main ideas and relevant algorithms emanating from them ... . It is a welcome and valuable enrichment of the literature about random variate generation ... ." (Jakob Creutzig, Metrika, Vol. 64, 2006)
"This book describes approaches to simulating variates from discrete and continuous distributions ... . The authors target a mixed audience of computer scientists and statisticians. ... Each chapter concludes with an ample number of exercises, and comprehensive references for further study are provided. In summary, I have found this to be a useful reference, and would recommend it to any statistician who regularly engages in (or advises on) simulation studies." (Paul D. Baxter, Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol. 33 (8), 2006)
"Automatic Nonuniform Random Variate Generation is primarily a research monograph unifying the authors’ work in algorithms and software to sample from a large family of distributions ... . The writing is very clear ... and worked examples, often with graphical illustration, facilitate understanding. ... I highly recommend this book and the accompanying webpages to graduate students and other researchers from many disciplines (e.g., statistics, computer science, physics, engineering) who need to simulate random variates from non-standard but low-dimensional densities as a part of their research." (Mary Kathryn Cowles, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 102 (479), 2007)

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
-
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
-
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
-
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
-
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
