Re: [Help-gsl] Random numbers within some ranges in the domain using different distributipons?

[Daniel J Farrell]

Hello Mohd,

I think you are looking for this function:

f(r) = a + (b - a) * r

where a is the min value, b is the max values and r is a random number  
distributed between 0 and 1 (e.g. use gsl_rng_uniform_pos() to  
generate r).

This come up a lot on the mailing list maybe it should be added to the  
library?

Cheers,

Dan.
