Francis C. Hsuan

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1979, vol. 28, issue 2, 170-172

Abstract: We present an algorithm to generate random pairs which are uniformly distibuted within a giving polygon. The algorithm does not employ the rejection technique. Rather, it utilizes linear transformations to accomplish the task.
