Hi,

As we know that Matlab can generate random number with
several command. I need to generate random value for the
following gamma distribution:

f(D)=No*D^m*exp(-L*D);

No, m and L will be assumed. I need to generate randomly
distributed D in size of 0<D<10 that follows the above
distribution.

Do you have idea to do it in matlab?

Thanks for your help

Cheers
jq
