Multivariate Gaussian Distribution
Creates a number of samples from a specified number of dimensions and centers them around a given mean, and within a given covariance range. You might not find it very useful, but hey, I need something to do this so why not.
To use:
You need to generate 1000 samples from a 3 dimensional Gaussian distribution with a mean m = [4,5,6], and with a covariance sigma = [9 0 0;0 9 0;0 0 9].
Command line:
x=mgd(1000,3,m,sigma) or x=mgd(1000,3,m',sigma)
it doesn't matter if the mean is given as a row or column vector
x is a (1000x3) matrix of the where
where each row is the coordinates of that point in 3 space.
