Is drawing multiple samples from randn the same as invoking randn for appropriate size ?

1 view (last 30 days)
Does the distribution of the random samples alter if I call randn(size, number_of_samples) instead of calling randn(size,1) in a loop of number_of_samples?
PS: I am looking to do stochastic computation for large samples.

It’s the same whether you call it repeatedly in a loop or ask it to create a matrix.
