Abstract

It is well known that the generation of random vectors with non-independent components is difficult.
Nevertheless, we propose a new and very simple generation algorithm
for multivariate linear densities over point-symmetric domains.
Among other applications it can be used to design a simple decomposition-rejection algorithm for multivariate
concave distributions.
