Abstract
This paper presents a new method for numerical simulation ofD — distributions and the corresponding algorithm.
For numerical generating of random variable havingD — distribution we mixed two random variables, one having gamma distribution and the second having an exponential type distribution.
Also we present some methods for generating of random variable having gamma distribution in two different cases, when the parameter is greater than one and when the parameter is between 0 and 1(0<λ<1).
The numerical results and the histogram of generating dates are also presented.
