Question
Hello, I want to know that how can I generate random numbers from pareto distribution as matlab is giving me inbuilt function for generating random number from generalized pareto distribution but I don't want that function I want only pareto distribution for generating random numbers. Similarly matlab is providing me function for generating random numbers from exponential distribution but I want to generate random numbers from generalized exponential distribution for which there is no inbuilt function. In short I want to generate random numbers from Pareto Distribution and Generalized Exponential Distribution.

n = 100; x = rand(n,1); y_ge = mu-log(1-x.^(1/alpha))/lambda; y_p = lambda*(1-x).^(-1/alpha);
generates 100 random numbers for the generalized exponential and the pareto distribution.
