weibrnd (Statistics Toolbox)

Random numbers from the Weibull distribution

Syntax

R = weibrnd(A,B)
R = weibrnd(A,B,m)
R = weibrnd(A,B,m,n)

Description

R = weibrnd(A,B) generates Weibull random numbers with parameters A and B. Vector or matrix inputs for A and B must have the same size, which is also the size of R. A scalar input for A or B is expanded to a constant matrix with the same dimensions as the other input.

R = weibrnd(A,B,m) generates Weibull random numbers with parameters A and B, where m is a 1-by-2 vector that contains the row and column dimensions of R.

R = weibrnd(A,B,m,n) generates Weibull random numbers with parameters A and B, where scalars m and n are the row and column dimensions of R.

Devroye refers to the Weibull distribution with a single parameter; this is weibrnd with A = 1.

Examples

n1 = weibrnd(0.5:0.5:2,0.5:0.5:2)
n1 =
    0.0093    1.5189    0.8308    0.7541
n2 = weibrnd(1/2,1/2,[1 6])
n2 =
   29.7822    0.9359    2.1477   12.6402    0.0050    0.0121
