Many of the distributions available use standard random functions that are described in Random Functions in the Using JMP book. Descriptions of the specialized distributions available follow:
Generates values from a weighted normal distribution with the given mean and standard deviation. The weighting is a specific sampling scheme used to simulate rare events from the tails of the distribution. This is a good choice when you want to simulate very low defect rates.
