[edit] Difference with "Random variable"?

Which is the difference between a "random variable" and a "random variate"? Should these articles be merged? Or at least, should the content of this article be made more "aware" of the other one? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blaisorblade (talk • contribs) 11:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Definition

The definition is wrong! Random variate is the same as random variable, and could have any distribution, not only uniform. Olaf m (talk) 03:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
