Light Transport in Tissue


Discrete form of the Analytic Method

A third technique is to divide the interval (a,b) into a number of pieces Next create an array such that the number of entries with a particular value $\xi_1$ is proportional to the value $p(\xi_1)$. A random integer uniformly distributed between one and the last entry in this array will serve as the index which selects the new scattering angle.
