generate a vector of random values

[elmst616]

Hi I'd like to generate a vector of random values.

I have been trying vector(15) myvec = 0.5*nrnd

but I get the error message

Syntax error in "VECTOR(15) myvec = 0.5*NRND".

Try @rnorm

@rnorm works best for element assignment. To fill the entire vector in one go, use

Code: Select all

nrnd(vec)

as in

Code: Select all

vector(10) a nrnd(a)
