Hello,

I have a numerical PDF of this form:

pdfconv[dem, z, s]

where dem is the variable of the PDF and z and s are parameters.
Doing what was suggested above i get:

distconv /: PDF[distconv[z_, s_], dem_] := pdfconv[dem, z, s];

but when i try to generate a random number like:

RandomReal[distconv[1, .1]]

i get an error. Were i get it wrong?

many thanks
