The food pellets also have color additives that help give the farm raised salmon the nice pinkish color weâre all accustomed to. Otherwise, theyâd be a dullish grey color*. *Wild salmon, by contrast, obtain their pink hue from their natural environment by feasting on a diet of krill, which eats red algae. 7.
Generate random numbers with a given distribution. The rand function in MATLAB returns uniformly distributed pseudorandom values from the open interval (0, 1), but we often need random numbers of other kind of distributions. A great article written by John S. Denker explains a method of generating random numbers with arbitrary distribution.
random â Generate pseudo-random numbersÂ¶. This module implements pseudo-random number generators for various distributions. For integers, uniform selection from a range. For sequences, uniform selection of a random element, a function to generate a random permutation of a list in-place, and a function for random sampling without replacement. On the real line, there are functions to compute uniform, normal (Gaussian), lognormal, negative exponential, gamma, and beta distributions.
