Generating Random Numbers with Normal Distribution

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear list,

For some computer-based simulation, i need to
generate random numbers that have a normal distribution.

It seems that PHP's rand() and mt_rand() functions return
uniformly distributed numbers which is not suitable for
simulation purposes.

Is there any way to generate random numbers with
normal distribution in PHP?

Thanks in advance
