Random Variate
A random variate is a variable generated from uniformly distributed pseudorandom
numbers. Depending on how they are generated, a random variate can be uniformly or
nonuniformly distributed. Random variates are frequently used as the input to
simulation models (Neelamkavil 1987, p. 119).
