I need to generate some random vectors, given the joint distribution function
of the components. I am familiar with the usual scalar random number
generators, but haven't been able to find anything on the multivariate case.

I would appreciate it very much if anyone on the net could help me with some
references on this topic, preferably one with algorithms to generate random
vectors.

Thanks.
