I'm not aware of anything in Sage to do this. scipy.stats has a lot of continuous random variables and code (often very very slow) for generating random values using them. It's often incredibly useful having code to quickly generate random values from some distribution. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
