     make a sample of the first model, that is to say simulate  the
     sequence of the random variables Xi (stay duration) and the
     sequence of Zi (side effect reporting)

_U_s_a_g_e:

     makeSample(file, nbPatient, disXi, disP)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    file: the filename in which the simulation will be stored 

nbPatient: the number of patients for the simulation 

   disXi: the distribution of the variable Xi : disXi is a 3 elements
          list : rangen <=>  a random positive variable generator ;
          nbparam <=> number of parameter of this distribution and
          param <=> a list of parameters 

    disP: the side effect probability (success  probability of Zi) p :
          disP is a 3 elements list : disfun <=> a distribution
          function ; nbparam <=> number of parameter of this
          distribution and param <=> a list of parameters
