Thread Subject:

make random numbers from a vector

Hi I would like to define a vector of my desired numbers and then ask matlab to generate random numbers only form the number I have in the vector.

for example this is my vector [ 0.2, 0.6, 1.2, 0.7]

so my results after generating random numbers by matlab should only consist of these 4 values.

Thanks for your help

 v = [ 0.2, 0.6, 1.2, 0.7];
 n = 100;
 x = v(ceil(length(v)*rand(1,n)));

Or if you're using a newer version, you can use RANDI.

v = [0.2 0.6 1.2 0.7];
n = 100;
x = v(randi([1 numel(v)], 1, n));

Or,

v = [0.2 0.6 1.2 0.7];
n = 100;
x = randsample(v,n,true);

Best.
