An alternative resource that may be helpful if you are wanting to do more work with the normal distribution is the stats/distribs addon. See http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Addons/stats/distribs In particular: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Addons/stats/distribs#rnorm01 load 'stats/distribs' rnorm 5 NB. 5 numbers from the standard normal distrib _0.588777 0.56664 _0.974964 0.0631566 _0.559564 10 2 rnorm 5 NB. 5 numbers from a normal distrib with mean 10, stdev 2 12.355 8.42496 10.2307 12.5775 10.207 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
