MATLAB: Generate Random Sample between [0,1)

Question

Hi guys,

how do I generate a uniformly distributed random numbers between [0,1)?

"rand" can only generate (0,1).

Thanks,

Jonathan

Answer 1

With N an integer between 1 and 53 (inclusive)

randi([0 2^N-1])/(2^N)

provided that randi is truly uniform random.
