random - Class: ProbDist

Generate random number drawn from ProbDist object

Syntax

Y = random(PD) Y = random(PD, N) Y = random(PD, N, M, ...)

Description

Y = random(PD) generates a random number drawn from the distribution specified by PD, a ProbDist object.

Y = random(PD, N) generates an N-by-N array of random numbers drawn from the distribution specified by PD, a ProbDist object.

Y = random(PD, N, M, ...) generates an N-by-M-by... array of random numbers drawn from the distribution specified by PD, a ProbDist object.

Input Arguments

`PD`	An object of the class `ProbDistUnivParam` or `ProbDistUnivKernel`.
`N`	A positive integer.
`M`	A positive integer.

Output Arguments

Y A random number drawn from the distribution specified by PD.
