Learn about the multivariate normal distribution, a generalization of the univariate normal to two or more variables. For the distributed data type, the like syntax clones the underlying data type in addition to the primary data type. In the simplest case, no correlation exists among variables, and elements of the vectors are. However, the distribution has a bell shape, this means the larger values have lower probability of occurring, but there is a chance that they happen.
Random numbers from normal distribution with specific mean. This matlab function returns estimates of normal distribution parameters the mean muhat and standard deviation sigmahat, given the sample data in x. The usual justification for using the normal distribution for modeling is the central limit theorem, which states roughly that the sum of independent samples from any distribution with finite mean and variance converges to the normal distribution as the sample size goes to infinity. Random numbers from normal distribution with specific mean and variance. Learn more about gaussian distribution, random, variable, variance, gaussian.
