3 Description
Given row totals and column totals (with , say),
G05PZF will generate a pseudorandom two-way table of integers such that the row and column totals are satisfied.
The method used is based on that described by
Patefield (1981) which is most efficient when
is large relative to the number of table entries
(i.e.,
). Entries are generated one row at a time and one entry at a time within a row. Each entry is generated using the conditional probability distribution for that entry given the entries in the previous rows and the previous entries in the same row.
A reference vector is used to store computed values that can be reused in the generation of new tables with the same row and column totals. G05PZF can be called to simply set up the reference vector, or to generate a two-way table using a reference vector set up in a previous call, or it can combine both functions in a single call.
One of the initialization routines
G05KFF (for a repeatable sequence if computed sequentially) or
G05KGF (for a non-repeatable sequence) must be called prior to the first call to G05PZF.

- 11: – INTEGERInput/Output
-
On entry:
IFAIL must be set to
,
. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to
Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit:
unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see
Section 6).

8 Parallelism and Performance
G05PZF is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
Please consult the
X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
