Section: Random Number Generation
Generates a vector of exponential random variables with the specified parameter. The general syntax for its use is
y = randexp(lambda)
where lambda
is a vector containing the parameters for the generated random variables.
The exponential random variable is usually associated with the waiting time between events in a Poisson random process. The PDF of an exponential random variable is:
Here is an example of using the randexp
function to generate some exponentially distributed random variables
--> randexp(ones(1,6)) ans = 0.7969 0.2401 0.5891 1.5129 0.9998 2.7738
