Sample Code for: Generating Random Data with Controlled Prior Probabilities

A slecture by ECE student Alex Gheith


% This script contains the code fragments that are used to demonstrate the
% generation of different PDFs with different priors. Primary use of would
% be in decision making processes among two classes or more.
