- ## usage: lognormal_rnd (a, v [, r, c])
- ##
- ## lognormal_rnd (a, v) returns a matrix of random samples from the
- ## lognormal distribution with parameters a and v. The size of the
- ## matrix is the common size of a and v.
- ##
- ## lognormal_rnd (a, v, r, c) returns an r by c matrix of random samples
- ## from the lognormal distribution with parameters a and v. Both a and v
- ## must be scalar or of size r by c.
