Ah, right - I wonder how this is handled rigorously, though. I know some basics of Bayesian statistics, but I don't much about Bayesian statistics from a theoretical POV (i.e. a rigorous mathematical development). > To simulate huge uniform integers, I think it should be possible to use > the floating point random numbers and rescale and round them. > Rescaling and especially rounding may bias the distribution, no ? The best (but long term) strategy would be to support arbitrary precision integer, as mentioned by Robert.
