I'll look into this some more (I need it right now for some work stuff anyway). There has got to be a GPL/BSD licensed bit of code out there to generate discrete random variables from a given distribution as described in that paper I mentioned before. -- Carlo Hamalainen http://carlo-hamalainen.net --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
