Sparse normally distributed random matrix
R = sprandn(S) R = sprandn(m,n,density) R = sprandn(m,n,density,rc)
R = sprandn(S)
has the same sparsity structure as S, but normally distributed random entries with mean 0 and variance 1.
R = sprandn(m,n,density)
is a random, m-by-n, sparse matrix with approximately density*m*n normally distributed nonzero entries (0 
density 1).
R = sprandn(m,n,density,rc)
also has reciprocal condition number approximately equal to rc. R is constructed from a sum of matrices of rank one.
If rc is a vector of length lr, where lr min(m,n), then R has rc as its first lr singular values, all others are zero. In this case, R is generated by random plane rotations applied to a diagonal matrix with the given singular values. It has a great deal of topological and algebraic structure.
