MATLAB: Advanced use of randi(x) and other random number generating functions

randrandirandnrandstreamrng

Is it possible to get the randi(x) function to work with a specifically chosen set of numbers, such as 1 through 9 except 6?
From what I can tell, the function description doesn't make it seem possible. Is there a creative way around this? What about using other random number generating functions?

Best Answer

There's nothing builtin do exclude certain numbers. Of course this is accomplished with a little bit of manipulation:
x=randi(8,[5 5])
x(x>=6) = x(x>=6)+1
