lintsampler

Efficient random sampling via linear interpolation.

When you know densities on the 2 endpoints of 1D interval, or the 4 corners of a 2D rectangle, or generally the $2^k$ vertices of a $k$-dimensional hyperbox (or a series of such hyperboxes, e.g., the cells of a $k$-dimensional grid), linear interpolant sampling provides a technique to draw random samples within the hyperbox. lintsampler provides a Python implementation of this.

See the documentation or the linear interpolant sampling paper for further details.
