Alternative random generator functions - Jose Gonzalez Divasson - 06-09-2015 09:41 PM
Hi,
The new firmware distribution notes mention that there are more alternative random generator functions (and also distribution functions):
Added more distribution functions – density/cumulative/inverse: beta, exponential, gamma, geometric, negbinomial, uniform, weibull
Added more random generation functions: binomial, chisquare, fisher, geometric, poisson, student
I am not able to find them. In the probability/random menu, there is only number, integer, normal options.
And as for distributions, most of the new ones are missing.
Are they hidden anywhere else?
(checked that I have 7820 firmware)

Toolbox (B key) -> Catalog (Catlg)
There you can find all about distributions not included in the menu.

Thanks!
I should have started by there. And the names are easy to find, too: randpoisson, etc.
And in the "other" key of the help info related to the function, the other new random distributions appear too. (Note to Tim: the new random distributions do not appear in the "other" help menu of the "old" ones - that was why I could not find them at the beginning. They seem to be two separate sets, as seen from the help menu point of view)

for a few distribution that are missing and for other statistic programs, see for some programs of mine or some of Namir, here in the software section of the forum.

Dear Salvomic,
Thank you! I already had seen your programs and did even mentioned them in my calculator blog (properly crediting them to you!)!

Muchas Gracias, José, to have put them with credits.
I'm glad you like those programs!
The programs can be redistributed, but printing credits to their authors...
Enjoy with them and the power of Statistics in the Prime.
