The binornd function expands scalar inputs to constant arrays with the same dimensions as the other inputs. Similar functions are randi in matlab software and unidrnd in the statistics and machine. To use random, create an exponentialdistribution probability distribution object and pass the object as an input argument or specify the probability distribution name and its parameters. Beta random variables often semantically represent probabilities. Suppose you are collecting data that has hard lower and upper bounds of zero and one respectively. Beta, beta distribution, a first shape parameter, b second shape parameter. A variable with a betabinomial distribution is distributed as a binomial distribution with parameter p, where p is distribution with a beta distribution with parameters a alpha and b beta. To change the mean and variance to be the random variable x with custom mean and variance, follow this equation. Restore the state of the random number generator to s, and then create a new.
One of the most important application is to generate dirichlet distributed random vectors, which plays a key role in topic modeling and other bayesian algorithms.
