Pseudorandom number generator - A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is an algorithm to generate a sequence of numbers that approximate the properties of random numbers. The sequence is not truly random in that it is completely determined by a relatively small set of initial values, called the PRNG's state.
Pseudorandom number sequence - A Pseudorandom number sequence is a sequence of numbers that has been computed by some defined arithmetic process but is effectively a random number sequence for the purpose for which it is required.
Monte Carlo integration - In mathematics, Monte Carlo integration is numerical quadrature using pseudorandom numbers. That is, Monte Carlo integration methods are algorithms for the approximate evaluation of definite integrals, usually multidimensional ones.
Quasi-Monte Carlo method - In numerical analysis, a quasi-Monte Carlo method is a method for the computation of an integral (or some other problem) that is based on low-discrepancy sequences. This is in contrast to a regular Monte Carlo method, which is based on sequences of pseudorandom numbers.
Random variate - A random variate is a variable chosen from a uniform distribution of pseudorandom numbers. Random variates are often referred to when simulating stochastic models.
