True Random Integer Generator

Download true (not pseudo-) random numbers from random.org's generator

Description

The function TRUERAND returns truly random integers using random.org's Random Integer Generator. According to random.org, the numbers are generated based on atmospheric noise and skew-corrected to generate uniform numbers. The generated numbers have been shown to pass the NIST tests for RNGs.

The range of numbers is -1e9 to 1e9 and the maximum number of values that can be generated is 10,000

USAGE:
truerand(rows,cols,min,max) returns a matrix of size rows-by-cols with random integers between min and max.

truerand(n,min,max) returns an n by 1 vector

truerand(n, m), truerand(n) and truerand use the default values min = 1, max = 100

EXAMPLES:
 y = truerand
 y = truerand(9)
 y = truerand(6,6)
 y = truerand(5,1,20)
 y = truerand(3, 4, 15, 30)
