Discrete (multinomial) distribution sampler

03 Oct 2009 (Updated 07 Nov 2009)

Random number generator of a discrete (multinomial) distribution

File Information
Description	Generate samples from a discrete distribution or multinomial distribution specified by discrete probability parameters. usage: x = discreternd(p,n); p is a vector of the discrete probabilites (sum(p)==1) n is the desired number of samples. if length(p)==d, then x is a vector of n integers in [1,d]. example >> discreternd([.2,.3,.5],10) ans = 1 3 3 2 3 1 2 3 3 3
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.9 (2009b)
