MATLAB: Gaussian distributed random numbers

gaussian distributionrandom number generatorwhite noise

I need to generate a stationary random numbers with gaussian distribution of zero mean and a variance of unity with max value one.

The core MATLAB function randn will produce normally-distributed random numbers with zero mean and unity standard deviation.

If you want the numbers to be limited to those <=1, this will work:

q = randn(1,10);
q = q(q<=1);

If you mean generate random numbers in a gaussian distribution, whats wrong with randn()?

Hi,

This page helps you to solve this.

As stated in the page

y = sqrt(variance).*randn(1,301) + mean;
% As mean is 0, variance is sigma
sigma = 5;
mean = 0;
y = sqrt(sigma).*randn(1,301) + mean;

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Sriram
