Removed bounty sounding text and added a better explanation.
Jan 26, 2016 at 21:09 comment added Rockster160 @NickCox - Edited the post to reflect your comments. I removed the stipulation. Don't want to turn anybody away, you're right. All insight is good. :)
Jan 26, 2016 at 21:08 comment added Rockster160 @Wayne - I want to further my understanding of how to generate a set of numbers, that, in large numbers, will resemble those graphs.

Jan 26, 2016 at 20:33 comment added Wayne Are you simply wanting to customize pictures (graphs) or are you wanting to do something with them? If you want to do something with them, what do you want to do, specifically?
Jan 26, 2016 at 20:08 comment added Nick Cox "Any real answers (with actual algorithms), explanations, or good references to articles count. ,,, Please include a basic summary of the article for future reference. " That's a tough stipulation for strangers volunteering their time: sounds like the text that would describe the conditions for a very large bounty.
Jan 26, 2016 at 20:06 comment added Nick Cox Although I take @whuber's point, and add that "regular" is left vague here, it seems that a beta distribution fulfils the most important requirements here. See e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_distribution The bounds of 0 and 1 don't bite as you can just apply a linear transformation. Good software includes routines for random draws from a beta.
Jan 26, 2016 at 19:51 comment added whuber Ultimately, this question asks how one ought to go about choosing probability models. As such, it seems to be far too broad to be answerable. You could narrow it by specifying why you are trying to develop such a distribution and telling us what data or other information are available to help guide you.
