EFFICIENT RANDOM VARIATES GENERATOR
See alphabetical list of the supported distributions below (over 50 distributions)
1) randraw
presents general help.
2) randraw( distribName )
presents help for the specific distribution defined
by usage string distribName (see table below).
3) Y = randraw( distribName, distribParams, sampleSize );
returns array Y of size = sampleSize of random variates from distribName
distribution with parameters distribParams
Example:
Y = randraw('poisson',7,5000); hist(Y,50)
