function rnd = exprnd(a)
%  Random samples from the exponential distribution with expectation a
%  and variance a^2.
%
%  INPUTS
%    a       [double]    m*n matrix of positive parameters
%
%  OUTPUT
%    rnd     [double]    m*n matrix, independent draws from the exponential
%                        distribution rnd(j,j) has expectation a(i,j) and
%                        variance a(i,j)^2.
%
%  ALGORITHM
%    Inverse transform sampling.
%
%  SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
%    None.
