MATLAB Tutorials Class3: How to Generate a
random number in MATLAB
Hai... We addressed the creation of an array and matrix in my previous post. We will see how to generate a random number in MATLAB here.
1. How to generate uniformly distributed random numbers in MATLAB?
Syntax is
rand_val_creation=rand()
The uniformly distributed number 0 to 1 range is generated by the rand function. We can create a random matrix, just like the creation of zeros and one's matrix.
Case 1:if we give syntax like 'rand' means it creates 1 x 1 rand matrix range between 0 to 1.
>> rand_no_creation=rand
rand_no_creation =
0.8147
Case 2: If we mention a number, that number is considered to be a row and column count.
>> rand_no_creation=rand(4)
rand_no_creation =
0.9058 0.0975 0.9649 0.4854
0.1270 0.2785 0.1576 0.8003
0.9134 0.5469 0.9706 0.1419
0.6324 0.9575 0.9572 0.4218
Case 3: if suppose we need a specified number of row and column random matrix means we can mention the number of row and column as given below
>> rand_no_creation=rand(4,6)
rand_no_creation =
0.9157 0.0357 0.7577 0.1712 0.0462 0.3171
0.7922 0.8491 0.7431 0.7060 0.0971 0.9502
0.9595 0.9340 0.3922 0.0318 0.8235 0.0344
0.6557 0.6787 0.6555 0.2769 0.6948 0.4387
How to generate a specific range random matrix in MATLAB
Case 4: we can create a specific range random matrix in MATLAB as given below
starting_no=1;
ending_no=100;
r = starting_no + (ending_no-starting_no).*rand(1)
r =
78.1376
r = starting_no + (ending_no-starting_no).*rand(5)
r =
93.4671 34.3751 17.3992 75.0670 16.0854
13.8607 17.0560 60.5962 45.6036 82.7559
57.3135 79.6342 27.0342 9.2983 54.2959
47.4697 31.8103 65.7538 23.6687 99.6173
2.1783 53.3248 69.2322 91.4204 8.7394
r = starting_no + (ending_no-starting_no).*rand(5,3)
r =
40.7790 24.7553 49.5955
8.5207 42.3094 49.4360
24.7517 5.9158 34.4342
13.2086 90.3689 90.1053
19.2069 94.5339 37.5554
2. How to generate Uniformly distributed pseudorandom integers in MATLAB?
Syntax is
rand_val_creation=randi(maxvalue)
The uniformly distributed pseudorandom integer generates value from 1 to maxvalue. And also we can change the range
Case 1: it will generate one random number from 1 to 5
>> rand_val_creation=randi(5)
rand_val_creation =
3
Case 2: It will generate a 5 x 5 random matrix range from 1 to 5
>> rand_val_creation=randi(5,5)
rand_val_creation =
2 3 5 3 5
5 2 1 2 5
5 2 2 5 3
3 3 1 3 1
4 2 2 1 2
Case3: It will generate a 5 x 3 random matrix range from 1 to 5
>> rand_val_creation=randi(5,5,3)
rand_val_creation =
3 2 3
3 1 1
2 2 2
4 2 5
4 3 1
Case4: It will generate a random matrix range from min to max
>> rand_val_creation=randi([5 20])
rand_val_creation =
19
>> rand_val_creation=randi([5 20],4)
rand_val_creation =
17 15 15 19
6 7 12 19
9 16 17 10
10 6 16 16
>> rand_val_creation=randi([5 20],4,5)
rand_val_creation =
8 12 18 8 7
5 19 17 19 20
16 14 14 5 16
13 14 7 12 13
3. How to generate Normally distributed random numbers in MATLAB?
Syntax is
rand_val_creation=randn()
The normally distributed number is generated by the randn function.
Exanples:
>> rand_val_creation=randn
rand_val_creation =
-1.0722
>> rand_val_creation=randn(4,3)
rand_val_creation =
0.9610 -0.1977 1.3790
0.1240 -1.2078 -1.0582
1.4367 2.9080 -0.4686
-1.9609 0.8252 -0.2725
>> rand_val_creation=randn(4)
rand_val_creation =
1.0984 -0.3538 0.2820 0.3502
-0.2779 -0.8236 0.0335 -0.2991
0.7015 -1.5771 -1.3337 0.0229
-2.0518 0.5080 1.1275 -0.2620
How to create random 3D and 4D arrays in MATLAB?
>> rand_val_creation=randn(4,2,3)
rand_val_creation(:,:,1) =
-0.5320 -0.7120
1.6821 -1.1742
-0.8757 -0.1922
-0.4838 -0.2741
rand_val_creation(:,:,2) =
1.5301 1.2347
-0.2490 -0.2296
-1.0642 -1.5062
1.6035 -0.4446
rand_val_creation(:,:,3) =
-0.1559 0.3919
0.2761 -1.2507
-0.2612 -0.9480
0.4434 -0.7411
>> rand_val_creation=randn(4,2,4)
rand_val_creation(:,:,1) =
-0.5078 -0.4570
-0.3206 1.2424
0.0125 -1.0667
-3.0292 0.9337
rand_val_creation(:,:,2) =
0.3503 -0.0845
-0.0290 1.6039
0.1825 0.0983
-1.5651 0.0414
rand_val_creation(:,:,3) =
-0.7342 -0.3728
-0.0308 -0.2365
0.2323 2.0237
0.4264 -2.2584
rand_val_creation(:,:,4) =
2.2294 -0.5900
0.3376 -0.2781
1.0001 0.4227
-1.6642 -1.6702
