RandomVariate

RandomVariate[dist] gives a pseudorandom variate from the symbolic distribution dist. RandomVariate[dist, n] gives a list of n variates.

Examples

Sample from a normal distribution:

RandomVariate[NormalDistribution[]]
(* 0.543821 *)

Generate multiple samples from an exponential distribution:

RandomVariate[ExponentialDistribution[1], 5]
(* {0.234, 1.872, 0.651, 2.103, 0.412} *)

Sample from a Poisson distribution:

RandomVariate[PoissonDistribution[3], 4]
(* {2, 4, 3, 1} *)
