Hi,

I have a question on generating random variables based on zipf-mandelbrot
distribution.

So when I execute the following lines:

ZM = lnre ("zm", alpha = 2/3, B=0.1)
zmsample = rlnre (ZM, n =100)
zmsample

It generates 100 random values based on a zipf-mandelbrot distribution as
below.  But how do I make sure the generated random number is within the
range of 1 - 6000 only?  Can I include that as one of the parameters in
rlnre?

Thank you for your help!
