RAND Uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers.
R = RAND(N) returns an N-by-N matrix containing pseudorandom values drawn
from the standard uniform distribution on the open interval(0,1). RAND(M,N)
or RAND([M,N]) returns an M-by-N matrix. RAND(M,N,P,...) or
RAND([M,N,P,...]) returns an M-by-N-by-P-by-... array. RAND returns a
scalar. RAND(SIZE(A)) returns an array the same size as A.
Note: The size inputs M, N, P, ... should be nonnegative integers.
Negative integers are treated as 0.
R = RAND(..., CLASSNAME) returns an array of uniform values of the
specified class. CLASSNAME can be 'double' or 'single'.
R = RAND(..., 'like', Y) is an array of uniform values with the same
data type and complexity (real or complex) as the numeric variable Y.
The sequence of numbers produced by RAND is determined by the settings of
the uniform random number generator that underlies RAND, RANDI, and RANDN.
Control that shared random number generator using RNG.
Examples:
Example 1: Generate values from the uniform distribution on the
interval (a, b).
r = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);
Example 2: Use the RANDI function, instead of RAND, to generate
integer values from the uniform distribution on the set 1:100.
r = randi(100,1,5);
Example 3: Reset the random number generator used by RAND, RANDI, and
RANDN to its default startup settings, so that RAND produces the same
random numbers as if you restarted MATLAB.
rng('default')
rand(1,5)
Example 4: Save the settings for the random number generator used by
RAND, RANDI, and RANDN, generate 5 values from RAND, restore the
settings, and repeat those values.
s = rng
u1 = rand(1,5)
rng(s);
u2 = rand(1,5) % contains exactly the same values as u1
Example 5: Reinitialize the random number generator used by RAND,
RANDI, and RANDN with a seed based on the current time. RAND will
return different values each time you do this. NOTE: It is usually
not necessary to do this more than once per MATLAB session.
rng('shuffle');
rand(1,5)

RAND with the 'seed', 'state', or 'twister' inputs.
