For fixed n, the uniform discrete pdf is a constant. But the convolution stuff applies for nonuniform pdfs as. You can think of p as the probability of drawing a number as large as x out of a hat with the numbers 1 through n inside p and n can be vectors, matrices, or multidimensional arrays that have the same size, which is also the size of x. The binomial distribution is a twoparameter family of curves. Specify the cumulative distribution function cdf value of interest as a numeric value in the range 0,1.
Feb 01, 2018 fitting probability distributions to data in matlab using the distribution fitter app. It is convenient, however, to represent its values generally by all integers in an interval a,b, so that a and b become the main parameters of the distribution often one simply considers the interval 1,n with the single parameter n. The toolbox provides several ways to work with probability distributions.

This matlab function generates random numbers from the discrete uniform distribution specified by its maximum value n. In probability theory and statistics, the discrete uniform distribution is a symmetric probability distribution whereby a finite number of values are equally likely to be observed. The binomial distribution is used to model the total number of successes in a fixed number of independent trials that have the same probability of success, such as modeling the probability of a given number of heads in ten flips of a fair coin.
