LandauDistribution - RandomGeneration

A random variable that depends on the Laudau distribution can be generated by the following method presented by Chambers, Mallows and Stuck.

For the following two independent variables that depend on a uniform distribution without boundary values:
randomgen 1

The variables that depend on the stable distribution are obtained as follows:
randomgen 2
randomgen 3

α ≠ 1:
randomgen 4

α = 1:
randomgen 5

randomgen 6

Since the Landau distribution is a stable distribution with α = 1 and β = 1:
randomgen 7
