[R] variate generation

[Mohan Radhakrishnan]

I was trying to understand how to use R to generate distributions of data, for example, uniform, and use the data in a program. I send raw bytes to the server. Is there a recommended way or book that I should read to understand this ?

I use R but this is a beginner question. When I plot the no: of bytes against time I would like to ensure that over a period of 5 minutes the data fits a uniform distribution or an exponential one. This is to stress the SUT.

And what distribution would that be ....

R provides many built in distributions, but if those aren't enough for
you, you can check:
