Anyone have please post to my email hata...@yahoo.com, thanks a lot.
We don't do that. Perhaps you might write to the authors of the article. I'm
sure they'd be delighted to share all their work with you--especially if you
convey how urgent it is.
My experience is that when someone spends a long time and a lot of effort to
create something, they are seldom willing to give it away for free. It is
possible that you didn't offer the original authors enough money. It is also
possible that they have contractual reasons that they cannot provide the
code to others. Certainly no one other than the original authors has the
code you seek, so I'm not sure why you are asking here. In any case, at this
point you really might consider writing your own code as it seems that two
months have gone by and you have made no progress.
I second the opinions of others on this thread: you probably need to
just code it yourself. After examining the paper, it would seem that
if you really want to implement its ideas, you need a working
knowledge of probability. After that, you'll need to know how to
implement the different distributions and random variables in Matlab.

plots in the paper. Part of research is verifying the work of others
before using it yourself: it gives you responsibility for that

That is true to some extent. But one can not verify every piece of work
published by others before using it. Life is too short. If one has to verify
every work done before using it, one will never be able make any advances.
Do you prove and verify every theorem before using it? I never really
verified Maxwell's equations, but we used them all the time :)
This is the as same as asking one to test every function written by someone
else before using it to verify it is working correctly.
Sometimes one might do this, but most of the time people will assume it is
correct and use it and build on it. This is until something is not working
right, then one starts to suspect something is wrong :)

True. That is why can use them without having to verify them themselves
again.

Sorry, I have not been following the discussion, and I do not know anything
about the context of this thread. I was only making a side comment about
that the comment that one has to verify every
work/result/conclusion/theorem/function/etc... before using it. All what I
am saying that it is good to do that if possible (i.e. verify before use),
but it is not possible to do this all the time, and many times we use things
done by others with the assumption it is valid and we trust that others have
verified it or we trust the original author.
