MATLAB: What types of random variables can MATLAB generate

I would like to know what types of random variables MATLAB can generate.

Best Answer

MATLAB has the RAND and RANDN functions for generating uniform and normally distributed random variables.

Statistics Toolbox has many functions for generating other types of random variables. For example, you can use the MAKEDIST and RANDOM functions to generate random numbers with specific correlations. Take a look at the following pages for a list of the distributions available in Statistics Toolbox:

MATLAB: Can a function with no input arguments is possible to generate

Hi,

sounds like kf2 is NOT a function. It should be saved with the name kf2.m and should look like this:

function output = kf2()
output = 4;
end

MATLAB: Is there a function for random number generation using the Rayleigh distribution in MATLAB 6.5 (R13)

The RAYLRND function within the Statistics Toolbox 4.0 (R13) performs this generation.

For more information on this function, type 'help RAYLRND' at the MATLAB Command Prompt. If you have installed the documentation, type 'doc RAYLRND' to see the documentation for this function. If you do not have the documentation installed, you can find it here:
