[net.math] tail probabilities/random deviates

anthony@utcsstat.UUCP (Anthony Ayiomamitis) (08/13/85)

	A number of people have been kind enough to provide me with references
regarding my earlier article on the net about estimating tail probabilities
and generating deviates from various distributions using U[0,1]. A number of
people have also requested if I can supply them with some of the information
I have received.
	Given the impressive response, I will wait a little while until the
response dies down and then I will post a summary to the net. I fear that if
I post one now, I may have to post another down the road which is more
up-to-date.
