Uniform Distribution (Continuous)

Evaluate and generate random samples from continuous uniform distribution

Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ offers several ways to work with the continuous uniform distribution.

  • Create a probability distribution object UniformDistribution by specifying parameter values. Then, use object functions to evaluate the distribution, generate random numbers, and so on.

  • Use distribution-specific functions with specified distribution parameters. The functions can accept parameters of multiple uniform distributions.

  • Use the generic distribution functions with the specified distribution name "Uniform" and corresponding parameters.

To learn about the uniform distribution, see Uniform Distribution (Continuous).
