Random Variables and How to Generate Them

Martin Vieten
PhD Student
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

“The concept of a random variable is one of the most fundamental notions in probability theory. Compared to classic deterministic functions, random variables introduce an  additional layer of abstraction, which allows for more complex mathematical models and analysis.
I will illustrate the idea of random variables and explain how they can be characterized by what we generally understand as probability. Then, I will outline how random variables may be generated, focusing on pseudo-random number generators available in standard software packages”.
