if one want to generate random numbers from a discrete distribution, will it be from the discrete or continuous uniform distribution?
I find only the continuous uniform distribution in MathCad so that i use only continuous uniform distribution for generating random numbers from my discrete distribution, is this true?

Hey,
it is not correct to use continous generator to generate random var for discrete distribution since it can generate a number which is not in your distribution.

You Can Use GENDIST Function in Matlab that is a Simple algorithm to generate random numbers from a user-defined discrete probability distribution.
