Distribution
Parameters
Type/Format
Description
fixed
value
Any real number
Draws all values exactly equal to value
uniform
low
Any real number
Draws all values randomly from a uniform distribution with range [low, high]
high
Any real number greater than low
poisson
lam
Any positive real number
Draws all values randomly from a Poisson distribution with rate parameter (mean) lam (lambda)
binomial
size
Any non-negative integer
Draws all values randomly from a binomial distribution with number of trials (n) = size and probability of success on each trial (p) = prob
prob
Any number in [0,1]
lognormal
meanlog
Any real number
Draws all values randomly from a lognormal distribution (natural log, base e) with mean on a log scale of meanlog and standard deviation on a log scale of sdlog
sdlog
Any non-negative real number
truncnorm
mean
Any real number
Draws all values randomly from a truncated normal distribution with mean mean and standard deviation sd, truncated to have a maximum value of a and a minimum value of b
