in thread Randomly biased, random numbers.

That does induce clumping, but it is always just one clump, always in the middle, and very uniform from one run to the next, which doesn't make for good test data.

I want multiple clumps -- 1, 2, 3, or 4 -- and unevenly distributed -- just 2 big clumps in one corner; or 4 small clumps all down one side or ... -- and different on each run.

Everything mathematical I've tried, tends to produce uniformity, which is kind of it's thing.
