A numerical study of nonlinear least square data fitting using random numbers from the congruential generator and several
quasi-random generators is presented. The results indicate that at least up to five dimensions some of the quasi-random sequences
yield better accuracy than the congruential pseudo-random sequence. Some recommendations for selecting the generators of quasi-random
sequences are also given.
