Simulation uses of the exponential distribution

Monte Carlo

“…This is called sampling without replacement with weights. Wong and Easton (1980) and Ross and Schechner (1986) describe approaches that take O(k log2 n) time. Section 3.31 describes a more generalpurpose technique that takes O(k log2 ni) time, where n'(::s; n) denotes the number of distinct weights.…”

Reliability Analysis.

“…A second research report dealing with simulation was the report [2] (joint with Z. Schechner) entitled "Simulation Uses of the Exponential .…”
