hello frnds,
I have a doubt about selecting random no generating
capacity of matlab.
Can any one suggest me using random no generator in order to randomly
select an element from a the elements of the given array?
for eg if the array is AR=[1,2, 3, 4 , 6] then the random number
generator should be able to select any element from the AR randomly
Awaiting your reply
Thanks
Nishant
Looking forward to ur suggestions 4 Matlab random generator

Hi, when you say "randomly", I assume you mean that the
distribution is
uniform.
Thus, what you need is a way to generate integers i = 1...N, where p(i) =
1/N where N are the number of elements in your array.
Once these integers are generated, you can use this as an array index to
select that element from your array. So why don't you use something like
floor(N*rand(number_of_trials,1))?
In fact, if you do something like hist(floor(20*rand(100000,1))), you will
see that the distribution of the integers is nearly uniform.
hope this helps

Hi
You can generate a uniform random variable using rand() function in matlab.
It will generate output between [0,1]. You divide the interval of [0,1] in 6
equal parts. If your random number generated lies in [0,1/6] then select
first element from AR=[1,2, 3, 4 , 6], if its in interval [1/6,1/3] it ll
select 2nd element and so on..
hope this helps

Hello,
Try this code, It might help u.
AR=[1,2, 3, 4 , 6];
x= randperm(length(AR));
Y_out = AR(x(1)); % Y_out is the output
instaed of x(1) u can take x(2) or x(3) ... like that.
That is when u call randperm it shuffles the indexes
randomly. Just take the first element from the
jumbling indexes, U will generate randomly from the
given array.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
