1D Examples
X = sample(@(x) exp(-x.^2), [-10 10], 100);
X = sample(@(x) exp(-x.^2/2).*(1 + (sin(3*x)).^2).*(1 + (cos(5*x).^2)), [-8 8], 100);
X = sample(@(x) exp(-4.*x.^2).*(9+72.*x.^2 - 192.*x.^4 + 512.*x.^6), [-4 4], 100);
X = sample(@(x) 2 + cos(100.*x), [-1 1], 100);
X = sample(@(x) sech(200.*x), [-1 1], 100); 2D Examples
[X Y] = sample(@(x,y) exp(-x.^4/2 - y.^4/2).*(x-y).^2, [-7 7], [-7 7], 100);
[X Y] = sample(@(x,y) exp(-x.^2-2*y.^2).*sech(10.*x.*y), [-5 5], [-4 4], 100);
[X Y] = sample(@(x,y) exp(-x.^2-2*y.^2).*(x-y).^2.*sech(10.*x.*y), [-3 3], [-3 3], 100);
