Rician Distribution

Fit, evaluate, and generate random samples from Rician distribution

Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ offers multiple ways to work with the Rician distribution.

  • Create a RicianDistribution object and use RicianDistribution object functions.

  • Use the generic distribution functions with the specified distribution name "Rician" and corresponding parameters.

To learn about the Rician distribution, see Rician Distribution.
