Random numbers from the normal distribution.
Syntax
R = normrnd(MU,SIGMA) R = normrnd(MU,SIGMA,m) R = normrnd(MU,SIGMA,m,n)
Description
R = normrnd(MU,SIGMA) generates normal random numbers with mean, MU, and standard deviation, SIGMA . The size of R is the common size of MU and SIGMA if both are matrices. If either parameter is a scalar, the size of R is the size of the other parameter. R = normrnd(MU,SIGMA,m) generates normal random numbers with parameters MU and SIGMA. m is a 1-by-2 vector that contains the row and column dimensions of R. R = normrnd(MU,SIGMA,m,n) generates normal random numbers with parameters MU and SIGMA. The scalars m and n are the row and column dimensions of R.Examples
