Random numbers from a user defined distribution

creturns the matrix of random numbers from user defined probability density distribution.

You are now following this Submission

RANDPDF returns the matrix of random numbers from probability density distribution defined in p and px. p are the density (the y axis) and px are the value (the x axis) of the pdf. p and px must be of the same length. dim define the output matrix dimensions, for example dim=[100 3] define the 100x3 two dimensional matrix with 300 random numbers.

REMEMBER: This is not a really random number generator but only some kind of transformation of uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers to desired pdf!
