I'm trying to generate a random number with a given PDF. I have the PDF stored as :
  • X: with the possible values
  • Y: with the density
plot(X,Y) displays the PDF
I've tried to use fitdist and makedist but I'm not able to convert it into a PDF object or anything usable.
Thanks you in advance

It may be that I'm pretty new to Matlab but I'm not able to figure out how to use slicesample with the data I have. As I can see slicesample needs a function from the pdf and I have the "sampled" pdf not a function that defines it.

Given x, interpolate the density y(x) from your data vector Y.
This will give you a Kind of "function" y(x).
