Programmer Guide/Command Reference/EVAL/grand

Generation of gaussian distributed pseudo random numbers.

Usage

grand(m {, s {, seed {, nr {, nc}}}})

m

mean value of the gaussian distribution

s

standard deviation of the gaussian distibution (default=1)

seed

if this value is not equal 0, it is used to initialize the random number generator (default=0)

nr

number of rows of the result (default=1)

nc

number of columns of the result (default=1)

Result 2

A numeric object r with nr rows and nc columns. Each element of r is set to a gaussian distibuted pseudo random number with mean m and standard deviation s.
