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 byAandB.AandBcan be vectors, matrices, or multidimensional arrays that have the same size, which is also the size ofR. A scalar input forAorBis 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 parametersAandB.AandBcan 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
