CovarianceUtilities.GetRandomStates(Matrix, Array, Variable) Method

Top

Description

Returns multiple random states from a Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The resulting random states are returned in a column matrix.

Timing Precision Mode

This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.

Method Signature

CovarianceUtilities.GetRandomStates(	Matrix covariance,
	Array meanState,
	Variable numberOfStates)

Arguments

covariance
Description:	The covariance matrix that describes the Gaussian distribution from which to draw a state.

meanState
Description:	The mean state associated with the covariance matrix. The returned states are referenced from the provided mean.

numberOfStates
Description:	The number of states to generate.
Valid Range:	numberOfStates > 0

Return Value

Type:

Matrix of number

Returns a set of random states in a column matrix.

Syntax

myMatrix1 = CovarianceUtilities.GetRandomStates(myMatrix2, myArray1, myVariable1);
