Drand48Norm() Function Drand48Norm ( Optional Mu As  Double = 0, Optional Sigma As  Double = 1  ) 48 bit real normal random number (Ziggurat method) (Linear congruential method) Purpose Generates 48 bit real normal random number following normal distribution N(μ, σ^2). An uniform random number is generated by the random number generator drand48() which is based on the linear congruential method. Then it is transformed to the normal random number by Ziggurat method. Returns Double 48 bit real normal random number. Parameters [in] Mu (Optional) The parameter μ(mean) of the normal distribution N(μ, σ^2). (default = 0) [in] Sigma (Optional) The parameter σ(standard deviation) of the normal distribution N(μ, σ^2). (default = 1) Note Same as using Drand48(). See Drand48() for more details.
