{title:Description}

{pstd}This is a quick reference on functions for generating random numbers.
For help on all functions, see {help functions}.  See {bf:{help generate}} for
setting the seed.


{title:Random-number functions}

{phang}
{cmd:uniform()} returns uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers on
	the interval [0,1).  {cmd:uniform()} takes no arguments, but the
	parentheses must be typed.  (See {help matrix functions} for the
	related {cmd:matuniform()} matrix function.)

{phang}
{cmd:invnormal(uniform())} returns normally distributed random numbers with
        mean 0 and standard deviation 1.  {cmd:(uniform())} within
        {cmd:invnormal()} takes no arguments, but the parentheses must be
        typed.
