Generation of gaussian distributed pseudo random numbers.

Usage

grand(m {, s , seed , nr , nc})

m: mean value of the gaussian distribution
s: standard deviation of the gaussian distibution (default=1)
seed: if this value is not equal 0, it is used to initialize the random number generator (default=0)
nr: number of rows of the result (default=1)
nc: number of columns of the result (default=1)

Result 2: A numeric object r with nr rows and nc columns. Each element of r is set to a gaussian distibuted pseudo random number with mean m and standard deviation s.
