One obvious difference, which you are likely aware of, is that rand(N)
in matlab returns an NxN matrix whereas Numeric's MLab and numarray's
linear_algebra.mlab version of rand returns a length N array.  So if
you naively use rand(N) in both cases, your sample sizes will be
wildly different.

Just a thought...
