New to MatLab: How to enter given data for a random variable (&find /fit distribution function)

2 visualizzazioni (ultimi 30 giorni)
Hello,
I am very new to MatLab so I am still struggling a lot.
What I have given:
I have a random variable X with thoutcomes and probabilites.
How do I put this data in MatLab? I know this is very basic but I am struggling with it. In the next step I need to find and draw a fitting distribution function, I think I know how to do this as I found some tutorials, but all these tutorials only used sample data sets and not data sets they had to put in theirselves.
Thanks already!

If you have the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox, you can use the randsample function:
N = 100;
outcome = [1; 3; 4; 5; 9; 10];
prob = [0.20; 0.15; 0.10; 0.05; 0.35; 0.15];
y = randsample(outcome,1000000,true,prob);
will give 100 samples from those outcomes, weighted by the probabilities.

Thanks for your answer! I dont have this/ am not sure whether I am allowed to use if for the assignment. Is there another way to do so without it?

n = 30;
sample = random(n)
function sample = random(n)
uniform = rand(n,1);
sample = zeros(size(uniform));
for i = 1:n
v = uniform(i);
if v <= 0.2
s = 1;
elseif v > 0.2 && v <= 0.35
s = 3;
elseif v > 0.35 && v <= 0.45
s = 4;
elseif v > 0.45 && v <= 0.5
s = 5;
elseif v > 0.5 && v <= 0.85
s = 9;
else
s = 10;
end
sample(i) = s;
end
end

Here is a method that does not require the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox:
% Input data
N = 100;
outcome = [1; 3; 4; 5; 9; 10];
prob = [0.20; 0.15; 0.10; 0.05; 0.35; 0.15];
% Algorithm
r = rand(1,N);
index = numel(outcome) - sum(r <= cumsum(prob)) + 1;
X = outcome(index);
