I have this eror when I run simple command

Let's make sure you haven't created / downloaded a normrnd.m that's taking precedence over the version of that function in Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox. What does this command display?

which -all normrnd

If it shows something that's not in a MathWorks toolbox, consider renaming or removing the non-MathWorks normrnd.m.

I have this return:

>> which -all normrnd

C:\Users\user1\Documents\MATLAB\normrnd.m

C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017\toolbox\stats\stats\normrnd.m % Shadowed

I rename my file and it is good now. Thanks
