NAME
       gsl-randist - generate random samples from various distributions

SYNOPSYS
       gsl-randist seed n DIST param1 param2 [..]

DESCRIPTION
       gsl-randist  is a demonstration program for the GNU Scientific Library.
       It generates n random samples from the distribution DIST using the dis‐
       tribution parameters param1, param2, ...

EXAMPLE
       Here  is	 an  example.	We generate 10000 random samples from a Cauchy
       distribution with a width of 30 and histogram them over the range  -100
       to 100, using 200 bins.

	    gsl-randist	 0 10000 cauchy 30 | gsl-histogram -100 100 200 > his‐
       togram.dat

       A plot of the resulting histogram will show the familiar shape  of  the
       Cauchy distribution with fluctuations caused by the finite sample size.

	    awk '{print $1, $3 ; print $2, $3}' histogram.dat | graph -T X

SEE ALSO
