Latin Hypercube Sampling From A Normal Distribution (python)

How to generate 10 random numbers from normal distribution using latin hypercube sampling technique in python 2.7? The range of the random number should be 5 to 14. I tried followi

Solution 1:

Try this:

defrand:
 import random
 from random import randint
 iter = 10
 segSize = 1/float(iter)
 for i inrange(iter):
         segMin = float(i) * segSize
         point = segMin + (random.normalvariate(7.5,1) * segSize)
         pointValue = (point * (14 - 5)) + 4print point
         print pointValue

Your issue seems to have been integer multiplication etc, which Python truncates to zero in your division.

When I run it, I get:
