trnd - Student's t random numbers

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. V can be a vector, a matrix, or a multidimensional array. 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 v is a row vector. If v is a 1-by-2 vector, R is a matrix with v(1) rows and v(2) columns. If v is 1-by-n, R is an n-dimensional array.

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.

Example

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
