Abstract

The quixotic quest for the perfect random number generator has been an overriding factor for a group of simulation purists. Although we have developed a series of tests for the evaluation of random number generators, only a few of us engaged in modeling and simulation have actually taken the time to analyze the generators we use; most are willing to accept the random number generators available on the system -- just because it is there!
