DESCRIPTION

This routine generates a normally-distributed vector of length len with mean zero and identity covariance matrix. This routine uses kjb_rand(). [NOTE: this provides the exact same functionality as get_gauss_random_vector().] The first argument is the adress of the target vector. If the target vector itself is NULL, then a vector of the appropriate size is created. If the target vector is the wrong size, it is resized. Finally, if it is the right size, then the storage is recycled, as is.

RETURNS

Returns ERROR on failure, setting the the errors string accordingly, and NO_ERROR otherwise.

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
