trnd

Random numbers from Student's t distribution.

Syntax

R = trnd(V)
R = trnd(V,m)
R = trnd(V,m,n)

Description

R = trnd(V) generates random numbers from Student's t distribution with V degrees of freedom. The size of R is the size of V.

R = trnd(V,m) generates random numbers from Student's t distribution with V degrees of freedom, where m is a 1-by-2 vector that contains the row and column dimensions of R.

R = trnd(V,m,n) generates random numbers from Student's t distribution with V degrees of freedom, where scalars m and n are the row and column dimensions of R.

Examples

noisy = trnd(ones(1,6))
noisy =
   19.7250    0.3488    0.2843    0.4034    0.4816   -2.4190
numbers = trnd(1:6,[1 6])
numbers =
   -1.9500   -0.9611   -0.9038    0.0754    0.9820    1.0115
numbers = trnd(3,2,6)
numbers =
   -0.3177   -0.0812   -0.6627    0.1905   -1.5585   -0.0433
    0.2536    0.5502    0.8646    0.8060   -0.5216    0.0891
