Sebastiao Pereira generates more artificial data:
Generating random numbers from an exponential distribution is essential for queuing theory, reliability engineering, physics, finance modeling, failure analysis, Poisson process, simulation and Monte Carlo methods, computer graphics, and games. Is it possible to have a Random Exponential Gaussian Numbers function in SQL Server without use of external tools?
As always, I love this series because these examples are complex enough not to be trivial, yet perform well enough to work in real-world environments.
