nctrnd

Random matrices from noncentral T distribution

Syntax

• R = nctrnd(V,DELTA)
  R = nctrnd(V,DELTA,m)
  R = nctrnd(V,DELTA,m,n)
  

Description

R = nctrnd(V,DELTA) returns a matrix of random numbers chosen from the noncentral T distribution with parameters V and DELTA. Vector or matrix inputs for V and DELTA must have the same size, which is also the size of R. A scalar input for V or DELTA is expanded to a constant matrix with the same dimensions as the other input.

R = nctrnd(V,DELTA,m) returns a matrix of random numbers with parameters V and DELTA, where m is a 1-by-2 vector that contains the row and column dimensions of R.

R = nctrnd(V,DELTA,m,n) generates random numbers with parameters V and DELTA, where scalars m and n are the row and column dimensions of R.

Example

• nctrnd(10,1,5,1)
  ans =
      1.6576
      1.0617
      1.4491
      0.2930
      3.6297
