\title{ Multivariate Normal Data }
\description{
  Generates multivariate normal data based on a specified covariance matrix.
}
\usage{
ranMVN(nRep = 1, Sigma, seed = NULL)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{nRep}{ Numer of clusters (replications) }
  \item{Sigma}{ Specified covariance matrix }
  \item{seed}{ Initialize random number generator }
}
\details{
  The returned matrix of responses, call it Y,  has mean 0.
}
\value{
  Returns a matrix of response variates of dimension \code{nRep} by \code{nrow(Sigma)}
}
