% function B = rand_matrix_normal(n, p, M, Omega_lower_chol, Sigma_lower_chol)
% Pseudo random matrices drawn from a matrix-normal distribution
% B ~ MN_n*p(M, Omega, Sigma)
% Equivalent to vec(B) ~ N(vec(Mu), kron(Omega, Sigma))

% INPUTS
% n: row

% Sigma_lower_chol: (n*n), lower Cholesky decomposition of Sigma,
% (Sigma_lower_chol = chol(Sigma, 'lower'))
