-------------------------------------
Summary: Add a fast sequential random sampler method
Key: MATH-1239
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1239
Project: Commons Math
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Thomas Neidhart
Many applications need a fast way to randomly select n samples from a
population without replacement.
So far the best way seems to be the method proposed by Vitter in the following
paper:

A comparison with other methods can be found here (same author):
