## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{x} =} mvtrnd (@var{sigma}, @var{nu}, @var{n})
## Generate random samples from the multivariate t-distribution.
##
## @subheading Arguments
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @var{sigma} is the matrix of correlation coefficients. If there are any
## non-unit diagonal elements then @var{sigma} will be normalized, so that the
## resulting covariance of the obtained samples @var{x} follows:
## @code{cov (x) = nu/(nu-2) * sigma ./ (sqrt (diag (sigma) * diag (sigma)))}.
## In order to obtain samples distributed according to a standard multivariate
## t-distribution, @var{sigma} must be equal to the identity matrix. To generate
## multivariate t-distribution samples @var{x} with arbitrary covariance matrix
## @var{sigma}, the following scaling might be used:
## @code{x = mvtrnd (sigma, nu, n) * diag (sqrt (diag (sigma)))}.
##
## @item
## @var{nu} is the degrees of freedom for the multivariate t-distribution.
## @var{nu} must be a vector with the same number of elements as samples to be
## generated or be scalar.
##
## @item
## @var{n} is the number of rows of the matrix to be generated. @var{n} must be
## a non-negative integer and corresponds to the number of samples to be
## generated.
## @end itemize
##
## @subheading Return values
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @var{x} is a matrix of random samples from the multivariate t-distribution
## with @var{n} row samples.
## @end itemize

## @subheading Examples

## @example
## @group
## sigma = [1, 0.5; 0.5, 1];
## nu = 3;
## n = 10;
## x = mvtrnd (sigma, nu, n);
## @end group
