ting-point samples drawn from the standard normal distribution. See Also -------- rand, numpy.random.RandomState.randn Notes ----- For random samples from the normal distribution with mean ``mu`` and standard deviation ``sigma``, use:: sigma * np.matlib.randn(...) + mu Examples -------- >>> np.random.seed(123) >>> import numpy.matlib >>> np.matlib.randn(1) matrix([[-1.0856306]]) >>> np.matlib.randn(1, 2, 3) matrix([[ 0.99734545, 0.2829785 , -1.50629471], [-0.57860025, 1.65143654, -2.42667924]]) Two-by-four matrix of samples from the normal distribution with mean 3 and standard deviation 2.5: >>> 2.5 * np.matlib.randn((2, 4)) + 3 matrix([[1.92771843, 6.16484065, 0.83314899, 1.30278462], [2.76322758, 6.72847407, 1.40274501, 1.8900451 ]]) r
