The nrnd command fills series, vector, and matrix objects with (pseudo) random values drawn from a standard normal distribution. When used with a series, the nrnd command ignores the current sample and fills the entire object.

Fill object_name with normal random numbers.

For random generator functions, see “Statistical Distributions” and in particular, @mrnd, @mnrnd, and @rmvnorm.
