# RandomVariate does not evaluate a Hyperbolic Distribution

Any Idea why I can't get a result from this expression:

In[170]:= RandomVariate[HyperbolicDistribution[59.428, 18.441, 3.428*^-9, -0.00065]]

Out[170]= RandomVariate[HyperbolicDistribution[59.428, 18.441, 3.428*10^-9, -0.00065]]


I have found this Distribution modelling daily balance of a bank in order to calculate Liquidity Risk.

Apparently 3.428 10^-9 is too small. 3.428 10^-7 works OK, though –  belisarius Apr 21 at 17:27
It doesn't look like the impact of the third parameter is really large at the given value. The plot of the PDF remains visually unchanged if you increase it by a factor of 1000. –  Sjoerd C. de Vries Apr 21 at 21:25
Sjoerd raised a good point: Increasing delta by a factor of 100 still gives results that match to 7+ decimal places. Doing so allows use of RandomVariate. –  rasher Apr 21 at 21:41

Looks like a glitch, however you can invert the CDF to get the desired result (not as fast, of course):

InverseCDF[HyperbolicDistribution[1, 59.428, 18.441, 3.428*^-9, -0.00065],
RandomReal[1, 10]]

(* {0.000448962, 0.0144836, 0.0481936, -0.0169342, 0.0445246, -0.0151702, 0.00316436, 0.00877931, 0.085059, 0.00880039} *)

Many thanks mate! –  user13852 Apr 22 at 16:49
