The Basics of Neutrosophic Simulation for Converting Random Numbers Associated with a Uniform Probability Distribution into Random Variables Follow an Exponential Distribution
Abstract
When performing the simulation process, we encounter many systems that do not follow by their nature the uniform distribution adopted in the process of generating the random numbers necessary for the simulation process. Therefore, it was necessary to find a mechanism to convert the random numbers that follow the regular distribution over the period [0, 1] to random variables that follow the probability distribution that works on the system to be simulated. In classical logic, we use many techniques in the transformation process that results in random variables that follow irregular probability distributions. In this research, we used the inverse transformation technique, which is one of the most widely used techniques, especially for the probability distributions for which the inverse function of the cumulative distribution function can found. We applied this technique to generate neutrosophic random variables that follow an exponential distribution or a neutrosophic exponential distribution. This based on classical or neutrosophic random numbers that follow a regular distribution. We distinguished three cases according to the logic that each of the random numbers or the exponential distribution follows. We arrived at neutrosophic random variables that, when we use them in systems that operate according to an exponential distribution, such as queues and others, will provide us with a high degree of accuracy of results, and the reason for this is due to the indeterminacy provided by neutrosophic logic.
