function R = imnoise2(type, M, N, a, b)
%IMNOISE2 Generates an array of random numbers with specified PDF.
%   R = IMNOISE2(TYPE, M, N, A, B) generates an array, R, of size
%   M-by-N, whose elements are random numbers of the specified TYPE
%   with parameters A and B. If only TYPE is included in the
%   input argument list, a  single random number of the specified
%   TYPE and default parameters shown below is generated. If only
%   TYPE, M, and N are provided, the default parameters shown below
%   are used.  If M = N = 1, IMNOISE2 generates a single random
%   number of the specified TYPE and parameters A and B.
%
%   Valid values for TYPE and parameters A and B are:
% 
%   'uniform'       Uniform random numbers in the interval (A, B).
%                   The default values are (0, 1).  
%   'gaussian'      Gaussian random numbers with mean A and standard
%                   deviation B. The default values are A = 0, B = 1.
%   'salt & pepper' Salt and pepper numbers of amplitude 0 with
%                   probability Pa = A, and amplitude 1 with
%                   probability Pb = B. The default values are Pa =
%                   Pb = A = B = 0.05.  Note that the noise has
%                   values 0 (with probability Pa = A) and 1 (with
%                   probability Pb = B), so scaling is necessary if
%                   values other than 0 and 1 are required. The noise
%                   matrix R is assigned three values. If R(x, y) =
%                   0, the noise at (x, y) is pepper (black).  If
%                   R(x, y) = 1, the noise at (x, y) is salt
%                   (white). If R(x, y) = 0.5, there is no noise
%                   assigned to coordinates (x, y). 
%   'lognormal'     Lognormal numbers with offset A and shape
%                   parameter B. The defaults are A = 1 and B =
%                   0.25.
%   'rayleigh'      Rayleigh noise with parameters A and B. The
%                   default values are A = 0 and B = 1. 
%   'exponential'   Exponential random numbers with parameter A.  The
%                   default is A = 1.
%   'erlang'        Erlang (gamma) random numbers with parameters A
%                   and B.  B must be a positive integer. The
%                   defaults are A = 2 and B = 5.  Erlang random
%                   numbers are approximated as the sum of B
%                   exponential random numbers.
