- I'm curious as to how many people are using so-called quasirandom
- sequences of points (such as Halton, Sobol, or Niederreiter) instead
- of more traditional pseudorandom points for their Monte Carlo
- computations. If anyone is using quasirandom sequences, I'd be interested in
- hearing which variety you use, what applications you use it for, and
- any comments about their usefulness. Also if anyone has tried to use them
- or thought about using them, but decided not to, I'd be interested in why
- you decided against them.
- You can email me any responses, and I will summarize the results that
- I get.
- Also if anyone is curious about quasirandom Monte Carlo methods
- I could email you a list of some good references.
