Abstract
A new method for generating discrete random numbers with arbitrary amplitude/frequency distributions is presented. It consists essentially of amplitude manipulation of uniformly distributed, statistically independent sequential numbers. A digital-hardware implementation of the system features fast single-clock operation, with good statistical properties, and is well suited to software implementation.
