Function File: p = raylcdf (x, sigma)

Compute the cumulative distribution function of the Rayleigh distribution.

Arguments

  • x is the support. The elements of x must be non-negative.
  • sigma is the parameter of the Rayleigh distribution. The elements of sigma must be positive.

x and sigma must be of common size or one of them must be scalar.

Return values

  • p is the cumulative distribution of the Rayleigh distribution at each element of x and corresponding parameter sigma.

Examples

x = 0:0.5:2.5;
sigma = 1:6;
p = raylcdf (x, sigma)



p = raylcdf (x, 0.5)
