# Quasi-random sampling
Determinability is a desirable property from a reproducibility perspective because it ensures that, in principle, users with the same version of the software
will always converge to exactly the same solution.
Quasi-random sampling is a technique that attempts to combine the statistical advantages of (pseudo-)random sampling with a fully deterministic algorithm.
(Determinability is a desirable property from a reproducibility perspective because it ensures that, in principle, users with the same version of the software
will always converge to exactly the same solution.)
A quasi-random sequence is a deterministic sequence of "random-like" values that can be generated by an algorithm.
What makes quasi-random sequences superior to pseudo-random numbers for sampling is that one can construct quasi-random sequences which are biased toward "spreading out," i.e., covering more of the domain.
For example, the Halton sequence is a quasi-random sequence of numbers generated over a fixed interval by using a prime number as a base \cite{Halton_1964}.
