I have problem with determinig the alfa and beta parameters, how is possible to determine these paramaters??
You write you want to generate random numbers with specified mean and variance.
Mean and variance are functions of alpha and beta:
So solve these relations E[X]=f(alpha,beta), Var[X]=g(alpha,beta) for alpha and beta.
The difficulty with the above is that Wikipedia only deals with the case of x ~ [0, 1] or x ~ (0,1) rather than a more generalized range.
