A Method of Generating Random Vectors with a Given Probability Density Function

We propose a method for generating random independent vectors that have a given continuous distribution density with compact support. The main advantage of the proposed method are guaranteed estimates of the error in the generation of random vectors. We show an illustrative experimental comparison of the proposed method with the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. © 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
