- ## usage: t_rnd (n [, r, c])

- ## t_rnd (n) returns a matrix of random samples from the t (Student)
- ## distribution with n degrees of freedom. The size of the matrix is
- ## the size of n.
- ##
- ## t_rnd (n, r, c) returns an r by c matrix of random samples from the t
- ## distribution with n degrees of freedom. n must be a scalar or of
- ## size r by c.
