Hi, why when I use mvrnd to generate random vectors from a multivariate normal I always get small numbers in absolute value (not larger than 4 or 5)? E.g.
mu=[0 0];
sigma=[1 0.4; 0.4 1];
r=10000; %number of simulated unobservables
epsilon=mvnrnd(mu,sigma,r);
Thanks

The width of the distribution is ruled by the diagonal elements of sigma. If you want larger absolute values, try scaling sigma, e.g.
sigma = [10 4; 4 10];

But when the variances are v=1.0, the standard deviations of both vectors are supposed to be sqrt(v)=1.0, so there is only a little probability that a value exceeds the number 5 you mentioned. (99.7 % should have absolute values less than 3*sqrt(v), which you can test by sum(abs(epsilon)<3).) You simply cannot have v=1.0 and large numbers in the result.
