SSJ: Stochastic Simulation in Java

This page describes the old SSJ version 2.6.2.

The latest version is available here.

What is SSJ?

SSJ is a Java library for stochastic simulation, developed by Pierre L'Ecuyer and his research group, in the Département d'Informatique et de Recherche Opérationnelle (DIRO), at the Université de Montréal. It provides facilities for generating uniform and nonuniform random variates, computing different measures related to probability distributions, performing Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo simulations, collecting (elementary) statistics, and programming discrete-event simulations. The first version was written around 2000.
