- ## usage: exponential_rnd (lambda [, r, c])
- ##
- ## exponential_rnd (lambda) returns a matrix of random samples from the
- ## exponential distribution with parameter lambda. The size of the
- ## matrix is the size of lambda.
- ##
- ## exponential_rnd (lambda, r, c) returns an r by c matrix of random
- ## samples from the exponential distribution with parameter lambda,
- ## which must be a scalar or of size r by c.
