Use of tabulated cumulative density functions to generate pseudorandom numbers obeying specific distributions for Monte Carlo simulations.
A new method for the generation of pseudorandom numbers, which obey a specific statistical distribution, is presented. As an example the generation of the scattering angle θ for Monte Carlo light-scattering simulations is shown, using real, peaked, scattering phase functions.
