In Matlab, it looks something like this for a 10-step function:

Great, thanks. Now all I gotta do is translate that from matlab, a lingo I am not familiar with.

Darn it. Fell at the first hurdle. I cannot sense of your parameters to unifrnd()?

    Sorry -- it's much terser than Perl for math. 
    unifrnd(MIN, MAX, ROWS, COLUMNS); # uniform random numbers in [MIN,MAX
+)
cumsum(VECTOR) = #cumulative sum of vector
# .OP = element-wise application of OP to operands

      Is this fx(ix) (roughly) equivalent to this: @fx[ @ix ]?

      If it is, then I don't understand how you can index the 10-element fx with the 1e5-element ix?

        Yes. @ix contains 1e5 numbers all between 1 and 10 (Octave/Matlab is 1-based), so it chooses 1e5 elements from fx.
