Using CDF/PDF to create simulated data

Web: https://www.reddit.com/r/datascience/comments/ukf9tq/using_cdfpdf_to_create_simulated_data/

I have a sensor which measures a parameter. The measurements create an oddly shaped PDF when I create a histogram. And it varies significantly depending on experimental input. So, each input setup yields a different pdf.

I’d like to use each pdf then to create fake data. I’ve read up about inverse cdf, but those all require mathematical formulae for the cdfs.

The only other option I’ve seen is brute force, draw against a uniform Distribution which brackets the full …
