On Multivariate Vertical Density Representation and its Application to Random Number Generation

Motivated by the works of Troutt (1991, 1993) and Kotz and Troutt (1996), we provide a multivariate definition of the vertical density representation (vdr) and calculate its value for some basic multivariate distributions presented in Fang et al. (1990) and Johnson (1987). Utilizing the multivariate vdr and the theorem of Troutt (1993) we generalize the well-known Box-Muller method to generate the basic multivariate distributions.
