RandomChoice[{e_1, e_2, ...}] gives a pseudorandom choice of one of the e_i. RandomChoice[list, n] gives a list of n pseudorandom choices. RandomChoice[list, {n_1, n_2, ...}] ...

Suppose that you have a limited amount of data from which to obtain estimates of statistics for a population. The sampling distribution for those estimates can be ...

Based on original algorithms developed at Wolfram Research, Mathematica's core randomness generation is both highly efficient and of exceptional quality. Mathematica can ...

RandomSample[{e_1, e_2, ...}, n] gives a pseudorandom sample of n of the e_i.RandomSample[{w_1, w_2, ...} -> {e_1, e_2, ...}, n] gives a pseudorandom sample of n of the e_i ...

SeedRandom[n] resets the pseudorandom generator, using n as a seed. SeedRandom[] resets the generator, using as a seed the time of day and certain attributes of the current ...

BlockRandom[expr] evaluates expr with all pseudorandom generators localized, so that uses of SeedRandom, RandomInteger, and related functions within the evaluation of expr do ...

Built on powerful and elegant long-standing principles, the core Mathematica language has been gradually enhanced under tight control over its twenty-year history. Version ...

Widely recognized as the world's most powerful list manipulation language, Mathematica added in Version 6.0 a number of important new functions. Each function was carefully ...

Mathematica provides powerful functions for constructing lists of any size and structure.

Version 6.0 introduced integrated highly efficient support for a wide range of statistical functions and operations, both on explicit data and on symbolic representations of ...
