Not all random number generators are created equal. The Python documentation warns that Python's built-in random number generator isn't suitable for cryptographic purposes, where a minimum level ...

That’s why we need a TRNG (True Random Number Generator), but that requires special hardware. Some high-end microprocessors are equipped with an internal hardware TRNG, but it is, unfortunately ...

What do you do, when you need a random number in your programming? The chances are that you reach for your environment’s function to do the job, usually something like rand() or similar. This… ...

In this post, we’ll discuss some of the differences between fixed and random effects models when applied to panel data — that is, data collected over time on the same unit of analysis — and how these ...

Instead, random-number generators that are often used to produce such sequences tend to cluster zeros together, introducing a bias.
