Uniform Distribution

Distributions associated with the Uniform Equation:

x/(b − a)

dunif(x, a, b) Returns the probability density for value x.

punif(x, a, b) Returns the cumulative probability distribution for value x.

qunif(p, a, b) Returns the inverse cumulative probability distribution for probability p.

rnd(x) Returns a uniformly distributed random number between 0 and x.

runif(m, a, b) Returns a vector of m random numbers having the uniform distribution.

Arguments:

• x is a scalar or vector of real values between a and b, inclusive. To allow integration and other operations over this argument, values outside of the stated range are allowed, but they produce a 0 result.
• a and b are real numbers, with a < b.
• p is a real probability between 0 and 1.
• m is an integer greater than 0.

Notes:

• For definitions of the functions, and information on generating random numbers, see the Density and Distribution definitions.
