Generate random normal draws.
The nrnd command fills series, vector, and matrix objects with (pseudo) random values drawn from a standard normal distribution. When used with a series, the nrnd command ignores the current sample and fills the entire object.
Syntax
nrnd(object_name)
Fill object_name with normal random numbers.
Examples
matrix(10, 3) m1
nrnd(m1)
