5 gsl-randist - generate random samples from various distributions
6 .SH SYNOPSYS
7 .B gsl-randist seed n DIST param1 param2 [..]
8 .SH DESCRIPTION
9 .B gsl-randist
10 is a demonstration program for the GNU Scientific Library.
11 It generates n random samples from the distribution DIST using the distribution
12 parameters param1, param2, ...
13 .SH EXAMPLE
14 Here is an example. We generate 10000 random samples from a Cauchy
15 distribution with a width of 30 and histogram them over the range -100 to
16 100, using 200 bins.
17
18 gsl-randist 0 10000 cauchy 30 | gsl-histogram -100 100 200 > histogram.dat
19
20 A plot of the resulting histogram will show the familiar shape of the
21 Cauchy distribution with fluctuations caused by the finite sample
22 size.
