Multivariate normal random vectors with fixed mean and covariance matrix 1.0

MVNRND2 Random vectors from the multivariate normal distribution. R = MVNRND2(MU,SIGMA,NUM) returns a NUM-by-D matrix R of multivariate normal random vectors whose mean and covariance matrix match the given input parameters, MU (1-D vector) and SIGMA (D-by-D matrix) [...] = MVNRND2(...,COVNORM) determines normalization for covariance 0 : Normalizes by NUM-1. This makes cov(R) the best unbiased estimate of the covariance matrix (Default) 1 : Normalizes by NUM and produces the second moment matrix of the observations about their mean. MU : Either a 1-by-D row vector, or a scalar across dimensions. SIGMA : Either a D-by-D positive semi-definite matrix, or 1-by-D row vector of a diagonal matrix, or scalar representing that value along the diagonal. NUM : Positive integer at least D+1 in value. COVNORM : 0 or 1 (Any non-zero value will be taken as 1) Note: This is different from the MVNRND function in the Statistics Toolbox, as that samples from a multivariate normal distribution with mean MU and covariance SIGMA. The sampled mean and covariance may be different from the given inputs. This functions finds a collection of multivariate normal random vectors whose mean and covariance match the given input parameters, MU and SIGMA. Example 1: Find 5 numbers from the univariate normal distribution that have mean 50 and sample variance of 2. Show output and test output to determine if answer is valid. r=mvnrnd2(50,2,5), mean(r), cov(r) Example 2: Find 1000 bivariate normal random vectors with mean [1 2] and second-moment matrix of [2 .3; .3 2]. Test output to determine if answer is valid. r=mvnrnd2([1 2],[2 .3; .3 2],1000,1); mean(r), cov(r,1) Example 3: Find 1e6 multivariate normal random vectors of dimension 5 with mean [5 -4 3 -2 1], with variances [1 2 3 4 5] and that are uncorrelated. Test output to determine if answer is valid. r=mvnrnd2([5 -4 3 -2 1],[1 2 3 4 5],1e6); mean(r), cov(r) Example 4: (This example requires the Statistics Toolbox) MVNRND in the Statistics Toolbox samples from a multivariate distribution with the given input parameters. MVNRND2 finds a collection of multivariate normal random vectors whose mean and covariance match the given input parameters, MU and SIGMA. Show both results for the same input. r=mvnrnd([0 -3],[2 .3; .3 1],10); mean(r), cov(r) r2=mvnrnd2([0 -3],[2 .3; .3 1],10); mean(r2), cov(r2)
