Define an arbitrary function 'f', where 'f' may have a random component, and calculate f(x). > Extensibility: how to simulate more than two correlated vectors (again > float type and no preference for their distribution and without having > vector x)? Repeat step 1 several times. If you don't have 'x', define an arbitrary vector 'x' first ... HTH.
