As you said you want to extract the numbers present in the table then you should use some application that can easily extract data from PDF. Once such utility is SysTools PDF Toolbox Software. With this software you can extract numbers from multiple PDF documents and the data for each individual PDF is saved in the seperate.txt document.

Key focus: Shown with examples: let’s estimate and plot the probability density function of a random variable using Python’s Matplotlib histogram function.

Generation of random variables with required probability distribution characteristic is of paramount importance in simulating a communication system. Let’s see how we can generate a simple random variable, estimate and plot the probability density function (PDF) from the generated data and then match it with the intended theoretical PDF. Normal random variable is considered here for illustration.

Step 1: Generate random samples

A survey of commonly used fundamental methods to generate a given random variable is given in [1]. For this demonstration, we will consider the normal random variable with the following parameters : – mean and – standard deviation. First generate a vector of randomly distributed random numbers of sufficient length (say 100000) with some valid values for and . There are more than one way to generate this. Two of them are given below.

● Method 1: Using the in-built numpy.random.normal() function (requires numpy package to be installed)

● Method 2: Box-Muller transformation [2] method produces a pair of normally distributed random numbers () by transforming a pair of uniformly distributed independent random samples (). The algorithm for transformation is given by

Step 2: Plot the estimated histogram

Typically, if we have a vector of random numbers that is drawn from a distribution, we can estimate the PDF using the histogram tool. Matplotlib’s hist function can be used to compute and plot histograms. If the density argument is set to ‘True’, the hist function computes the normalized histogram such that the area under the histogram will sum to 1. Estimate and plot the normalized histogram using the hist function.

Step 3: Theoretical PDF:

And for verification, overlay the theoretical PDF for the intended distribution. The theoretical PDF of normally distributed random samples is given by

Theoretical PDF for normal distribution is readily obtained fromstats.norm.pdf() function in the SciPy package.

The histogram and theoretical PDF of random samples generated using Box-Muller transformation, can be plotted in a similar manner.

Plotting Data

Introduction

After you import data into the MATLAB^® workspace, it isa good idea to plot the data so that you can explore its features.An exploratory plot of your data enables you to identify discontinuitiesand potential outliers, as well as the regions of interest.

The MATLAB figure window displays plots. See Types of MATLAB Plots for a full description of the figure window. It also discusses the various interactive tools available for editing and customizing MATLAB graphics.

Load and Plot Data from Text File

This example uses sample data in count.dat, a space-delimited text file. The file consists of three sets of hourly traffic counts, recorded at three different town intersections over a 24-hour period. Each data column in the file represents data for one intersection.

Load the count.dat Data

Import data into the workspace using the load function.

Loading this data creates a 24-by-3 matrix called count in the MATLAB workspace.

Get the size of the data matrix.
