Returns elements randomly selected from any matrix.
RANDELEMENT(ARRAY,N) returns a row of N elements, selected at random (and with replacement) from ARRAY.
[There probably is some toolbox function that does something very similar.]
EXAMPLES:
randelement([0:9],5)
may return [4 8 8 5 2]
randelement({'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e' 'f'},2)
may return {'f' 'd'}
