Matrix generation

• random
  • grand — Random numbers
  • noisegen — noise generation (obsolete)
  • prbs_a — Generates a pseudo random binary sequence
  • rand — Random numbers
• blockdiag — Creates a block diagonal matrix from provided arrays. Block diagonal system connection.
• diag — diagonal including or extracting

• eye — identity matrix
• linspace — generates linearly spaced numbers between 2 reached bounds
• logspace — logarithmically spaced vector
• meshgrid — Create matrices or 3-D arrays from vectors replicated in 2 or 3 dimensions
• ndgrid — build matrices or N-D arrays by replicating some template vectors
