The goal of this book is to demonstrate that random varlates with various distributions can be obtained by cleverly manipulating iid uniform [0,1] random varlates. As we will see in this chapter, normal, exponential, beta, gamma and t distributed random varlates can be obtained by manipulation of the order statistics or spaclngs defined by samples of iid uniform [0,1] random varlates. For example, the celebrated polar method or Box-Muller method for normal random varlates will be derived in this manner (Box and Muller, 1958).
