functionUniform
Uniform
Extends from Var (prototype for variate generation functions).
Information
Uniform
Uniform probability distribution function.
Syntax
Uniform(g,a,b)
Description
Generates a random variate following the Uniform probability distribution function in the interval [a,b].
The pseudo-code algorithm used for this distribution is:
1. Generate u as U(0,1)
2. Return x = a + (b-a)*u
Examples
(u,g) := Uniform(g,2,4);
Inputs

| Generator | g (from Var) | Random number generator | |
| Real | a (from Var) | 0 | First parameter of the prob. distribution |
| Real | b (from Var) | 0 | Second parameter of the prob. distribution |
| Real | c (from Var) | 0 | Third parameter of the prob. distribution (only for the Johnson and Triangular distributions) |
| Real | d (from Var) | 0 | Fourth parameter of the prob. distribution (only for the Johnson distribution) |
Outputs
