Hello,
Would anybody know if there is a function in matlab to transform a continuous random variable x to a uniform distribution by using a cumulative distribution function (cdf) transformation?
Any comments and suggestions welcome.
Thank you
John

You can call cdf specifying the type of distribution or you can call directly the specific distribution function. For a list of supported cdfs: cumulative distributions.
An example:
x = randn(1000,1);
y = normcdf(x,0,1);
hist(y,100)

The Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) maps some values into [0,1], i.e. uniform distribution on [0,1].
