betarnd
Beta random numbers
Syntax
R = betarnd(A,B)
R = betarnd(A,B,m,n,...)
R = betarnd(A,B,[m,n,...])
Description
R = betarnd(A,B)
generates random numbers from the beta distribution with parameters specified byA
andB
.A
andB
can be vectors, matrices, or multidimensional arrays that have the same size, which is also the size ofR
. A scalar input forA
orB
is expanded to a constant array with the same dimensions as the other input.
R = betarnd(A,B,m,n,...)
orR = betarnd(A,B,[m,n,...])
generates anm
-by-n
-by-... array containing random numbers from the beta distribution with parametersA
andB
.A
andB
can each be scalars or arrays of the same size asR
.
Examples
a = [1 1;2 2]; b = [1 2;1 2]; r = betarnd(a,b) r = 0.6987 0.6139 0.9102 0.8067 r = betarnd(10,10,[1 5]) r = 0.5974 0.4777 0.5538 0.5465 0.6327 r = betarnd(4,2,2,3) r = 0.3943 0.6101 0.5768 0.5990 0.2760 0.5474
