这可能会帮助那些对选择速度算法感兴趣的人;最快的方法是(可能?)拒绝抽样。

只需在单位正方形内生成一个点，并拒绝它，直到它在圆内。如(伪代码),

def sample(r=1):
    while True:
        x = random(-1, 1)
        y = random(-1, 1)
        if x*x + y*y <= 1:
            return (x, y) * r

虽然有时它可能运行不止一次或两次(而且它不是常量时间，也不适合并行执行)，但它要快得多，因为它不使用像sin或cos这样复杂的公式。

程序员解决方案:

创建一个位图(布尔值的矩阵)。你想要多大就有多大。 在位图中画一个圆。 创建一个圆的点查找表。 在这个查找表中选择一个随机索引。

const int RADIUS = 64;
const int MATRIX_SIZE = RADIUS * 2;

bool matrix[MATRIX_SIZE][MATRIX_SIZE] = {0};

struct Point { int x; int y; };

Point lookupTable[MATRIX_SIZE * MATRIX_SIZE];

void init()
{
  int numberOfOnBits = 0;

  for (int x = 0 ; x < MATRIX_SIZE ; ++x)
  {
    for (int y = 0 ; y < MATRIX_SIZE ; ++y)
    {
      if (x * x + y * y < RADIUS * RADIUS) 
      {
        matrix[x][y] = true;

        loopUpTable[numberOfOnBits].x = x;
        loopUpTable[numberOfOnBits].y = y;

        ++numberOfOnBits;

      } // if
    } // for
  } // for
} // ()

Point choose()
{
  int randomIndex = randomInt(numberOfBits);

  return loopUpTable[randomIndex];
} // ()

位图仅用于解释逻辑。这是没有位图的代码:

const int RADIUS = 64;
const int MATRIX_SIZE = RADIUS * 2;

struct Point { int x; int y; };

Point lookupTable[MATRIX_SIZE * MATRIX_SIZE];

void init()
{
  int numberOfOnBits = 0;

  for (int x = 0 ; x < MATRIX_SIZE ; ++x)
  {
    for (int y = 0 ; y < MATRIX_SIZE ; ++y)
    {
      if (x * x + y * y < RADIUS * RADIUS) 
      {
        loopUpTable[numberOfOnBits].x = x;
        loopUpTable[numberOfOnBits].y = y;

        ++numberOfOnBits;
      } // if
    } // for
  } // for
} // ()

Point choose()
{
  int randomIndex = randomInt(numberOfBits);

  return loopUpTable[randomIndex];
} // ()

这取决于你对"均匀随机"的定义。这是一个微妙的点，你可以在这里的wiki页面上阅读更多关于它的内容:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_paradox_%28probability%29，在这里同样的问题，对“均匀随机”给出不同的解释会给出不同的答案!

根据你如何选择这些点，分布可能会有所不同，即使它们在某种意义上是均匀随机的。

It seems like the blog entry is trying to make it uniformly random in the following sense: If you take a sub-circle of the circle, with the same center, then the probability that the point falls in that region is proportional to the area of the region. That, I believe, is attempting to follow the now standard interpretation of 'uniformly random' for 2D regions with areas defined on them: probability of a point falling in any region (with area well defined) is proportional to the area of that region.

这里有一个快速而简单的解决方案。

在(0,1)范围内选择两个随机数，即a和b。如果b < a，则交换它们。你的观点是(b * R * cos(2 *π* a / b), b * R * sin(2 *π* a / b))。

您可以这样考虑这个解决方案。如果你把圆切开，然后把它拉直，你会得到一个直角三角形。把这个三角形缩小，你会得到一个从(0,0)到(1,0)到(1,1)再回到(0,0)的三角形，所有这些变换都会均匀地改变密度。你所做的就是在三角形中随机取一个点然后反过来得到圆中的一个点。

半径和“靠近”该半径的点的数量之间存在线性关系，因此他需要使用半径分布，这也使得半径r附近的数据点的数量与r成正比。

我仍然不确定确切的“(2/R2)×r”，但显而易见的是，在给定的单位“dr”中需要分配的点的数量，即r的增加将与R2成正比，而不是r。

check this way...number of points at some angle theta and between r (0.1r to 0.2r) i.e. fraction of the r and number of points between r (0.6r to 0.7r) would be equal if you use standard generation, since the difference is only 0.1r between two intervals. but since area covered between points (0.6r to 0.7r) will be much larger than area covered between 0.1r to 0.2r, the equal number of points will be sparsely spaced in larger area, this I assume you already know, So the function to generate the random points must not be linear but quadratic, (since number of points required to be distributed in given unit 'dr' i.e. increase in r will be proportional to r2 and not r), so in this case it will be inverse of quadratic, since the delta we have (0.1r) in both intervals must be square of some function so it can act as seed value for linear generation of points (since afterwords, this seed is used linearly in sin and cos function), so we know, dr must be quadratic value and to make this seed quadratic, we need to originate this values from square root of r not r itself, I hope this makes it little more clear.
