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

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 -- Bob Hanlon
