Uniform Distribution (Discrete)

Definition

The discrete uniform pdf is

y = f ( x | N ) = 1 N I ( 1 , ... , N ) ( x )

Background

The discrete uniform distribution is a simple distribution that puts equal weight on the integers from one toN.

Examples

Plot a Discrete Uniform Distribution cdf

As for all discrete distributions, the cdf is a step function. The plot shows the discrete uniform cdf forN= 10.

x = 0:10; y = unidcdf(x,10); figure; stairs(x,y) h = gca; h.XLim = [0 11];

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains an object of type stair.

Generate Discrete Uniform Random Numbers

Pick a random sample of 10 from a list of 553 items.

rngdefault;% for reproducibility数量= unidrnd (553, 10)
