Conceptually, you can generate random numbers for any arbitrary distributions by

1. Converting the pdf to a cdf.
2. Generating uniform random numbers (from 0 to 1) using rand
3. Mapping the uniform random numbers to the cdf.

There are many functions available on the file exchange that will do this for you.
