Description: Provides a function that implements the
        acceptance-rejection method in an optimized manner to generate
        pseudo-random observations for discrete or continuous random
        variables. Proposed by von Neumann J. (1951),
        <https://mcnp.lanl.gov/pdf_files/>, the function is optimized
        to work in parallel on Unix-based operating systems and
        performs well on Windows systems. The acceptance-rejection
        method implemented optimizes the probability of generating
        observations from the desired random variable, by simply
        providing the probability function or probability density
        function, in the discrete and continuous cases, respectively.
        Implementation is based on references CASELLA, George at al.
