Hi, any idea how can I simulate series of Cauchy distributed random variables ?
Thanks.

The Cauchy distribution is just a t-distribution with
v set equal to 1, thus:
will generate a series of cauchy randoms.

Thanks !!! It's perfectly working ! The infinite variance clearly shows up. I didnt realize cauchy distribution is this particular case ...
Thanks again!!
