Rayleigh Distribution

Fit, evaluate, and generate random samples from Rayleigh distribution

Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ offers multiple ways to work with the Rayleigh distribution.

  • Create a RayleighDistribution object and use RayleighDistribution object functions.

  • Use distribution-specific functions with specified distribution parameters. The functions can accept parameters of multiple Rayleigh distributions.

  • Use the generic distribution functions with the specified distribution name "Rayleigh" and corresponding parameters.

To learn about the Rayleigh distribution, see Rayleigh Distribution.
