The issue of universality is addressed by comparing discrete and continuous probability distributions for the quenched random couplings. The sophisticated temperature dependency of the scaling fields is identified as the major obstacle that has impeded a complete analysis. Once temperature is relinquished in favor of the correlation length as the basic variable, we obtain a reliable estimation of the anomalous dimension and of the thermal critical exponent. Universality among binary and Gaussian couplings is confirmed to a high numerical accuracy.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.94.024402http://journals.aps.org/open access53Monte-Carlo simulationsGround-stateModelAlgorithmDimensionsFísica (Física)22 Física
