Here is a program to generate a series of numbers that approximate a
normal distribution. You input the number of samples to generate and
the mean of the distribution. The code is definitely "no-frills", but
exactly what (in my opinion) BASIC is for.
Sequences of this type are useful when you want to set up an environment
in which an event occurs, ON THE AVERAGE, after a preset interval. The
probability of the occurence of the event at any particular time is,
however, relativily independent of the time since the last occurence of
the event.
The program is based upon the procedure presented by Fleshler and Hoffman
(1962). PLEASE get their reference for a complete description!
