A simple algorithm for uniform sampling on the surface of a hypersphere
Abstract
We propose a simple method for uniform sampling of points on the surface of a hypersphere in arbitrarily many dimensions. By avoiding the evaluation of computationally expensive functions like logarithms, sines, cosines, or higher order roots the new method is faster than alternative techniques.
