General fast generation of random variables for discrete distributions
Recently a new method, the alais method has been introduced for generating a discrete, finite valued distribution (1, 2). The method is exceptionally fast and can be broadly applied. It should have wide appeal. The purpose of this note is to introduce the method, place it in prospective with other fast, generally applied methods and to provide a Fortran program to generate constants needed by the method for any given distribution.
