UNIFORM
Uniform Quasirandom Datasets


UNIFORM is a dataset directory which contains points generated as part of an M-dimensional uniform random process.

The datasets are distinguished by the values of the following parameters:

The values of M and N are specified in the dataset file names.

TABLE, a file format which is used to store the datasets.

TABLE_TOP, a FORTRAN90 program which can be used to analyze datasets of any dimension, by creating images of pairwise coordinates.

UNIFORM, a C++ library which computes elements of a uniform pseudorandom sequence.

UNIFORM_DATASET, a C++ program which generates a dataset of uniform pseudorandom values and writes them to a file.

Example dataset:

A typical (but small) dataset of 10 points in 2 dimensions looks like this:
