randMultivariateNormal
Syntax
randMultivariateNormal(mean, covar, count, [sampleAsRow=true])
Alias: multivariateNormal
Arguments
mean is a vector indicating the mean of a normal distribution.
covar is a positive definite matrix indicating the variance-covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution.
count is a positive number indicating the number of samples to be generated.
sampleAsRow (optional) is a Boolean value. The default value is true indicating each row of the result is a sample. Otherwise each column of the result is a sample.
Details
Return a matrix of random values that follow a multivariate normal distribution.
