function r = normrnd(mu,sigma,m,n);
%NORMRND Random matrices from normal distribution.
%   R = NORMRND(MU,SIGMA) returns a matrix of random numbers chosen   
%   from the normal distribution with parameters MU and SIGMA.
%
%   The size of R is the common size of MU and SIGMA if both are matrices.
%   If either parameter is a scalar, the size of R is the size of the other
%   parameter. Alternatively, R = NORMRND(MU,SIGMA,M,N) returns an M by N  
%   matrix.
