| Apr 17, 2023 at 1:11 | comment | added | duncan | Showing up 8 years late to suggest this is incorrect. You are essentially splitting the calculation in two for u <= p or u > p. But each part needs to work with a uniform sample in (0, 1). You are rescaling for the second case, but not for the first case. (2) should be x = a + sqrt(u/p) * (c-a) | |

| Jan 2, 2016 at 17:49 | comment | added | whuber♦ | +1 -- but I think there may be some inconsistencies in the factors of $2$ involved in $f$. They disappeared when $F$ was introduced, but it could be a good idea to check that the algorithm is correct. | |
