for creating random numbers Random number generation refimprove date February 2012 In probability theory and its applications, such as statistics and cryptography , a random function is a function chosen randomly from a family of possible functions. Each realisation of a random function would result in a different function. Thus the concept of a random function is one example of a random element and hence is a generalization of the simpler idea of a random variable . In probability and statistics, one important type of random function is studied under the name of stochastic process es, for which there are a variety of models describing systems where an observation is a random function of time or space.

A random seed or seed state , or just seed is a number or Array data structure vector used to initialize a pseudorandom number generator . The choice of a good random seed is crucial in the field of computer security . When a secret encryption key cryptography key is pseudorandom ly key generation generated , having the seed will allow one to obtain the key. If the same random seed is deliberately shared, it becomes a secret key , so two or more systems using matching pseudorandom number algorithms and matching seeds can generate matching sequences of non repeating numbers which can be used to synchronize remote systems, such as GPS satellites and receivers. Random seeds are often generated from the state of the computer system such as the time , a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator or from a hardware random number generator . compu soft stub Category Pseudorandom number generators Random seed ca Llavor aleat ria cs Random seed de Seed key fr Graine al atoire pt Semente aleat ria ru ... more details

Age of Empires II The Conquerors The Conquerors expansion was the first game in the series to allow creation of custom random map scripts. In Video game gaming , a random map is a map generated randomness randomly by the computer, usually in Strategy video game strategy games. Random maps are often the core of single and multiplayer gameplay, aside from story based campaigns that are often shipped with the game. Each new game presents an unknown map, providing a new experience to the player, and an even playing field in multiplayer game multiplayer gaming . Random maps typically have a certain theme for example a naval random map with many small islands, or a gold rush map with a large amount of gold in the center of the map. The type of random map may also influence the game s game artificial intelligence artificial intelligence , with the AI employing different strategies optimized for each random map. Methods for generating such maps vary depending upon the topography of the game itself. A game which requires natural landscapes may use fractal subdivision to create convincing terrain, whereas a game set inside a structure such as a dungeon may use two dimensional maze algorithms. Some games allow the players to make their own random map scripts RMS , a form of Mod computer gaming game modification . Random map scripts provide instructions for generating the map, such as terrain types, resource locations, and many other factors. Random maps can also be used by scenario level design designer to unlock previously unavailable units. For example in Age of Kings, designers have used RMS to unlock new terrains and units. The unit terrain combination of fish on shoreless water is one such application of this technique. Another example is Empire Earth , where an unused dark red coloured cliff can be unlocked through a custom random map ... more details
In mechanical engineering , random vibration is motion which is non deterministic, meaning that future behavior cannot be precisely predicted. The randomness is a characteristic of the excitation or input, not the normal modes mode shapes or natural frequencies. Some common examples include an automobile riding on a rough road, wave height on the water or the load induced on an airplane wing during flight. Structural response to random vibration is usually treated using statistical or probabilistic approaches. In mathematical terms, random vibration is characterized as an ergodic and stationary process . A measurement of the acceleration spectral density ASD is the usual way to specify random vibration. The root mean square acceleration Grms is the square root of the area under the ASD curve in the frequency domain. The Grms value is typically used to express the overall energy of a particular random vibration event and is a statistical value used in mechanical engineering for structural design and analysis purposes. Image randomvibe4.png thumb Typical Random Vibration in the time domain While the term power spectral density PSD is commonly used to specify a random vibration event, ASD is more appropriate when acceleration is being measured and used in structural analysis and testing. Test specification can be established from real environment measurements using an ASD envelope or a fatigue damage equivalence criterion Extreme response spectrum and Fatigue damage spectrum .

Unreferenced date October 2010 In machine learning , sequence labeling is a type of pattern recognition task that involves the algorithmic assignment of a categorical data categorical label to each member of a sequence of observed values. A common example of a sequence labeling task is part of speech tagging , which seeks to assign a part of speech to each word in an input sentence or document. Sequence labeling can be treated as a set of independent classification machine learning classification tasks, one per member of the sequence. However, accuracy is generally improved by making the optimal label for a given element dependent on the choices of nearby elements, using special algorithms to choose the globally best set of labels for the entire sequence at once. As an example of why finding the globally best label sequence might produce better results than labeling one item at a time, consider the part of speech tagging task just described. Frequently, many words are members of multiple parts of speech, and the correct label of such a word can often be deduced from the correct label of the word to the immediate left or right. For example, the word sets can be either a noun or verb. In a phrase like he sets the books down , the word he is unambiguously a pronoun, and the unambiguously a determiner linguistics determiner , and using either of these labels, sets can be deduced to be a verb, since nouns very rarely follow pronouns and are less likely to precede determiners than verbs ... above vice versa for an algorithm that proceeds from right to left.

Random errors are error s in measurement that lead to measurable values being inconsistent when repeated measures of a time invariant constant attribute or physical quantity quantity are taken. The word random indicates that they are inherently predictability unpredictable , and have null expected value , namely, they are scattered about the true value, and tend to have null arithmetic mean when a measurement is repeated several times with the same instrument. All measurements are prone to random error. Random error is caused by unpredictable fluctuations in the readings of a measurement apparatus, or in the experimenter s interpretation of the instrumental reading these fluctuations may be in part due to interference of the environment with the measurement process. The concept of random error is closely related to the concept of accuracy and precision precision . The higher the precision of a measurement instrument, the smaller the variability standard deviation of the fluctuations in its readings. Systematic versus random error Measurement errors can be split into two components random error and systematic error . ref name Taylor cite book title An Introduction to Error Analysis The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements author John Robert Taylor url http books.google.com books?id giFQcZub80oC&pg PA94 page 94, 4.1 isbn 093570275X year 1999 publisher University Science Books ref Random error is always present in a measurement.
