Generating random no.s with a certain cdf

Started by Bavithi March 15, 2006
Hello All,
    If there is a certain CDF(Cumulative Distribution Function) , how can I generate random numbers ( source ) with the same value of CDF ?
Thank you!

http://www.math.uu.se/research/telecom/software/stprobdist.html  tells you
about many common CDFs and also tells you a method to get it for an
arbitrary CDF.  There might even be .m files available at this site.
