probability of achieving the r-th success in x independent and identical Bernoulli trials.
• Unlike the binomial distribution for which the number of trials is fixed, the number of successes is fixed and the number of trials varies from experiment to experiment. The negative binomial random variable represents the number of trials needed to achieve the r-th success.

Poisson distribution
• The Poisson distribution provides a realistic model for many random phenomena for which the number of occurrences within a given scope (time, length, area, volume) is of interest. For example, the number of fatal traffic accidents per day in Taipei, the number of meteorites that collide with a satellite during a single orbit, the number of defects per unit of some material, the number of flaws per unit length of some wire, etc.

Simulation Simulation • Given a random variable X with CDF FX(x), there
are situations that we want to obtain a set of n random numbers (i.e., a random sample of size n) from FX(.) .
• The advances in computer technology have made it possible to generate such random numbers using computers. The work of this nature is termed “simulation”, or more precisely “stochastic simulation”.

Pseudo-random number generation
• Pseudorandom number generation (PRNG) is the technique of generating a sequence of numbers that appears to be a random sample of random variables uniformly distributed over (0,1).
04/10/23 62Laboratory for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering, National Taiwan Univ.
• A commonly applied approach of PRNG starts with an initial seed and the following recursive algorithm (Ross, 2002)
modulo m where a and m are given positive integers, and the
above equation means that is divided by m and the remainder is taken as the value of .
1 nn axx
1naxnx
04/10/23 63Laboratory for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering, National Taiwan Univ.
• The quantity is then taken as an approximation to the value of a uniform (0,1) random variable.
• Such algorithm will deterministically generate a sequence of values and repeat itself again and again. Consequently, the constants a and m should be chosen to satisfy the following criteria:– For any initial seed, the resultant sequence has the “appearance” of
being a sequence of independent uniform (0,1) random variables.– For any initial seed, the number of random variables that can be
generated before repetition begins is large.– The values can be computed efficiently on a digital computer.

• A guideline for selection of a and m is that m be chosen to be a large prime number that can be fitted to the computer word size. For a 32-bit word computer, m = and a = result in desired properties (Ross, 2002).

Random number generation in R• R commands for stochastic simulation (for
normal distribution – pnorm – cumulative probability– qnorm – quantile function– rnorm – generating a random sample of a specific
sample size– dnorm – probability density function
For other distributions, simply change the distribution names. For examples, (punif, qunif, runif, and dunif) for uniform distribution and (ppois, qpois, rpois, and dpois) for Poisson distribution.

Generating random numbers of discrete distribution in R
• Discrete uniform distribution– R does not provide default functions for random
number generation for the discrete uniform distribution.
– However, the following functions can be used for discrete uniform distribution between 1 and k.• rdu<-function(n,k) sample(1:k,n,replace=T) # random number• ddu<-function(x,k) ifelse(x>=1 & x<=k & round(x)==x,1/k,0) # density• pdu<-function(x,k) ifelse(x<1,0,ifelse(x<=k,floor(x)/k,1)) # CDF• qdu <- function(p, k) ifelse(p <= 0 | p > 1, return("undefined"),
