No generator will be appropriate for all tasks. Any type of generator has some unwanted side-effects. Hence, we are in need of an arsenal of pseudorandom number generator s with distinct properties . If two strongly different generators yield the same outcome in a simulation, we will gain confidence in the results. Many properties of inversive methods are complementary to those of linear algorithms.
Inversive generators are easy to initialize.
Their excellent properties remain invariant under the choice of parameters. For certain inversive types this robustness was even proved for subsequences. We may work with larger sample sizes on a given architecture. Extensive tables of parameters are available for implementation. In our opinion, inversive methods should not be viewed as a replacement of linear methods.
