x is distributed IAW your distribution when
CDF[dist, x] == RandomReal[ ]
Solve this symbolically or numerically depending on the complexity of the CDF.

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
