> Currently, PiEstimator uses java.util.Random to generate random 2d-points for
> estimating pi. The numbers generated by java.util.Random are uniformly
> distributed. The 2d-points generated tense to have clump and gap. So the
> accuracy of the estimated pi is low. The accuracy can be improved by using a
> quasi-Monte Carlo (qMC) sequence.
