Abstract

We provide a new procedure to generate random numbers that follow the three parameter Crack distribution. To generate Crack random numbers by the composition method, first we generate random numbers from two known distributions: Inverse Gaussian distribution and Length Biased Inverse Gaussian distribution. Finally, we derive Crack random numbers generation procedure.
