StatsPowerNoise

StatsPowerNoise (b, c)

The StatsPowerNoise function returns a pseudorandom value from the power distribution function with probability distribution:

$$\displaystyle f(x ; b, c)=\frac{c}{x}\left(\frac{x}{b}\right)^{c}.$$

The random number generator initializes using the system clock when Igor Pro starts. This almost guarantees that you will never repeat a sequence. For repeatable "random" numbers, use SetRandomSeed. The algorithm uses the Mersenne Twister random number generator.
