One common way of choosing a random number in [0, n) is to take the result of rand() modulo n: rand() % n. However, even if the results returned by the available rand() implementation are fully uni...

I've written a C function that I think selects integers from a uniform distribution with range [rangeLow, rangeHigh], inclusive. This isn't homework--I'm just using this in some embedded systems ti...

I am using uniformjs form controls which are working except the listmenu. When i add '&' symbol (&) inthe list menu, it renders correctly, but problem is coming when i change the value to d...

I know the procedure of transforming one distribution to another by the use of CDF. However, I would like to know if there is existing function in Matlab which can perform this task? My another r...

Suppose I have a irregular, random, shape generated from a dataset. How do I find points that are situated on the shape's border? I am using R. Are there any packages in R for this purpose? For si...

How fast is glUseProgram()? Is there anything better (faster)?: Here are my thoughts: Use 1 universal shader program, but with many input settings and attributes (settings for each graphics clas...

I want to generate uniform integers that satisfy 0 <= result <= maxValue. I already have a generator that returns uniform values in the full range of the built in unsigned integer types. Let...

Given an array with N elements, I am looking for M (M < N) successive sub-arrays with equal lengths or with lengths that differ by mostly 1. For example, if N = 12 and M = 4, all sub-arrays woul...

The OpenGL specification lies (or is this a bug?)... Referring to the layout for std140, with shared uniform buffers, it states: "The set of rules shown in Tabl e L-1 are used by the GLSL compil...

The rules of this problem are fairly specific because I'm actually looking at a subset of GLn, where the row and column vectors must have a certain form (call these vectors valid -- examples below)...

If we have a Map<T, Integer>, let's say the Integer value represents "how many" Ts there are. Thus, I want to uniformly select a T based on its Integer value. If the map contains Strings with...
