Syntax

norm(mean, std, count)

Arguments

mean is a numeric scalar indicating the mean of a normal distribution.

std is a numeric scalar indicating standard deviation of a normal distribution.

count is an integral scalar/pair. A scalar indicates the length of the output vector. A pair indicates the dimension of the output matrix.

Details

Return a vector(matrix) that follows a normal distribution.

Examples

$ norm(2.0,0.1,3);

$ mean norm(3,1,10000);
3.007866


$ std norm(10000);
0.995806
