What the two columns represnt when i generate a multivarite normal random numbers

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
I run the following command to genrate two variables joint normally distributed with mean Mu and covariance matrix Sigma, which are defined below
MU=zeros(2,1)
sigma=[1 0.7;0.7 1]
M=mvnrnd(MU,sigma,N)
Then it genartes N,2 vector. But I want to know what the two columns represent.
Thank you!

The two columns represent the two variables measured for each case, and the N rows represent the N randomly selected cases from this bivariate normal distribution. For example, the cases/rows might be analogous to people, and the variables/columns analogous to their heights and weights.

Many thanks Jeff,
Could you explain about error: horizontal dimensions mismatch (1000x1 vs 499x1).
I am running the following code
X=2+5*w+e
Y=10+3*X+i
Now I want to use x and y to run an OLS and I save as a dtagrid using dataGrid = [Y X(:,1)]
data = importdata(filename,delimiterIn,headerlinesIn);
Y= data.data(:,1)
y_lab = data.colheaders{1}
x = [ones(N,1),data.data(:,2)]
x_lab = data.colheaders{2}
But I got the error message
horizontal dimensions mismatch (1000x1 vs 499x1). In my case I want to use N=1000
