Uniform Distribution (Discrete)

The discrete uniform pdf is

$y = f (x | N) = \frac{1}{N} I_{(1, ..., N)} (x)$

The discrete uniform distribution is a simple distribution that puts equal weight on the integers from one to N.

As for all discrete distributions, the cdf is a step function. The plot shows the discrete uniform cdf for N = 10.

x = 0:10;
y = unidcdf(x,10);
figure;
stairs(x,y)
h = gca;
h.XLim = [0 11];

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains an object of type stair.

Pick a random sample of 10 from a list of 553 items.

rng default;  % for reproducibility
numbers = unidrnd(553,1,10)

numbers = 1×10

   451   501    71   506   350    54   155   303   530   534
