nctrnd (Statistics Toolbox)

Random matrices from noncentral T distribution.

Syntax

R = nctrnd(V,DELTA)
R = nctrnd(V,DELTA,m)
R = nctrnd(V,DELTA,m,n)

Description

R = nctrnd(V,DELTA) returns a matrix of random numbers chosen from the noncentral T distribution with parameters V and DELTA. The size of R is the common size of V and DELTA if both are matrices. If either parameter is a scalar, the size of R is the size of the other parameter.

R = nctrnd(V,DELTA,m) returns a matrix of random numbers with parameters V and DELTA. m is a 1-by-2 vector that contains the row and column dimensions of R.

R = nctrnd(V,DELTA,m,n) generates random numbers with parameters V and DELTA. The scalars m and n are the row and column dimensions of R.

Example

nctrnd(10,1,5,1)

ans =

    1.6576
    1.0617
    1.4491
    0.2930
    3.6297
