hygernd

Hypergeometric random numbers

Syntax

R = hygernd(M,K,N)
R = hygernd(M,K,N,m,n,...)
R = hygernd(M,K,N,[m,n,...])


Description

R = hygernd(M,K,N) generates random numbers from the hypergeometric distribution with corresponding size of the population, M, number of items with the desired characteristic in the population, K, and number of samples drawn, N. M, K, and N can be vectors, matrices, or multidimensional arrays that all have the same size, which is also the size of R. A scalar input for M, K, or N is expanded to a constant array with the same dimensions as the other inputs.

R = hygernd(M,K,N,m,n,...) or R = hygernd(M,K,N,[m,n,...]) generates an m-by-n-by-... array. The M, K, N parameters can each be scalars or arrays of the same size as R.

Examples

numbers = hygernd(1000,40,50)
numbers =
   1

Extended Capabilities

C/C++ Code Generation

Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.

Usage notes and limitations:

The generated code can return a different sequence of numbers than MATLAB^® if either of the following is true:

• The output is nonscalar.

• An input parameter is invalid for the distribution.

GPU Arrays

Accelerate code by running on a graphics processing unit (GPU) using Parallel Computing Toolbox™.

This function fully supports GPU arrays. For more information, see Run MATLAB Functions on a GPU (Parallel Computing Toolbox).
