Dear all,
I need to generate a vector of random float numbers between [0,1] such
that their sum equals 1 and that are distributed non-uniformly.
Is there any python function that generates such a vector?
Best wishes
Hi Javier,
The answer to your question is "No", and the reason is that your
requirement is impossible.
Whatever distribution you choose - and you have not said what you
require - will be altered by any scaling to meet the constraint that the
total is 1.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?
Regards
Ian
