container : Array, predefined Array for holding results

seed : nonnegint, seed for the pseudo-random number generator

The GenerateGaussian( n, mean, stddev, seed ) command generates n floating-point samples for a random signal with a Gaussian distribution of mean mean and with standard deviation stddev. The results are returned in an Array with datatype float[8].

If the container=C option is provided, then the results are put into C and C is returned. With this option, no additional memory is allocated to store the result. The container must be an Array of size n having datatype float[8].

If the seed option is provided, the given value is used as the seed for the pseudo-random number generator.

The SignalProcessing[GenerateGaussian] command is thread-safe as of Maple 17.
