## Theory

### PRNG Quality Metrics

**Equidistribution**: Output values appear with equal frequency across the period

**Periodicity**: Sequence length before repetition; longer period = better

**Statistical Independence**: Minimal correlation between consecutive outputs

**Computational Efficiency**: CPU cycles required per output

### Mersenne Twister Characteristics

MT19937 uses matrix linear recurrence over GF(2) with:
- 624-word state vector
- 397-tap recurrence relation
- Tempering transformation for output
- Period exactly 2^19937 - 1

Passes DIEHARD, NIST, TestU01 suites.

### PCG Algorithm

PCG combines:
- Linear congruential generator (fast state advancement)
- Permutation function (output quality improvement)
- Variable output permutation (reduced correlation)

Superior to MT19937 in statistical tests with 1/4 the state.

### XORShift Method

Ultra-fast generators using only XOR and bit shifts:
- Trivial implementation
- Minimal state
- High throughput
- Lower period (still 2^256 - 1)

## Examples

### Example 1: Monte Carlo Pi Estimation

```python
from randomed import MersenneTwister

rng = MersenneTwister()
inside = sum(1 for _ in range(1000000) 
             if rng.uniform(0,1)**2 + rng.uniform(0,1)**2 <= 1)
pi_est = 4 * inside / 1000000
```

### Example 2: Portfolio Optimization

```python
from randomed import Optimization

def variance(weights):
    return sum(w**2 for w in weights)

optimal, var = Optimization.simulated_annealing(
    objective=variance,
    initial_solution=[0.5, 0.3, 0.2],
    temperature=10,
    iterations=5000
)
```

### Example 3: Secure Token Generation

```python
from randomed import CryptographicRNG

crypto = CryptographicRNG()
tokens = [crypto.generate_session_id() for _ in range(1000)]
```

### Example 4: Time Series Forecasting

```python
from randomed import TimeSeriesGenerator

tsg = TimeSeriesGenerator()
training = tsg.seasonal(periods=1000, trend_slope=0.05)
testing = tsg.seasonal(periods=100, trend_slope=0.05)
```

### Example 5: Stratified Sampling

```python
from randomed import Sampling

pop = list(range(10000))
strata = [pop[i:i+1000] for i in range(0, 10000, 1000)]
sample = Sampling.stratified_sampling(pop, strata, k=500)
```
