+
+> Fill a strided array with pseudorandom numbers drawn from a [normal][@stdlib/random/base/normal] distribution.
+
+<section class="installation">
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @stdlib/random-strided-normal
+```
+
+</section>
+
+<section class="usage">
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var normal = require( '@stdlib/random-strided-normal' );
+```
+
+#### normal( N, mu, sm, sigma, ss, out, so\[, options] )
+
+Fills a strided array with pseudorandom numbers drawn from a [normal][@stdlib/random/base/normal] distribution.
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
+
+// Create an array:
+var out = new Float64Array( 10 );
+
+// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
+normal( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, [ 5.0 ], 0, out, 1 );
+```
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
+-   **mu**: mean.
+-   **sm**: index increment for `mu`.
+-   **sigma**: standard deviation.
+-   **ss**: index increment for `sigma`.
+-   **out**: output array.
+-   **so**: index increment for `out`.
+
+The `N` and stride parameters determine which strided array elements are accessed at runtime. For example, to access every other value in `out`,
+
+```javascript
+var out = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
+
+normal( 3, [ 2.0 ], 0, [ 5.0 ], 0, out, 2 );
+```
+
+Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.
+
+<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
+
+// Initial arrays...
+var mu0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0 ] );
+var sigma0 = new Float64Array( [ 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0 ] );
+
+// Create offset views...
+var mu1 = new Float64Array( mu0.buffer, mu0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
+var sigma1 = new Float64Array( sigma0.buffer, sigma0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element
+
+// Create an output array:
+var out = new Float64Array( 3 );
+
+// Fill the output array:
+normal( out.length, mu1, -2, sigma1, 1, out, 1 );
+```
+
+The function accepts the following `options`:
+
+-   **prng**: pseudorandom number generator for generating uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers on the interval `[0,1)`. If provided, the function **ignores** both the `state` and `seed` options. In order to seed the underlying pseudorandom number generator, one must seed the provided `prng` (assuming the provided `prng` is seedable).
+-   **seed**: pseudorandom number generator seed.
+-   **state**: a [`Uint32Array`][@stdlib/array/uint32] containing pseudorandom number generator state. If provided, the function ignores the `seed` option.
+-   **copy**: `boolean` indicating whether to copy a provided pseudorandom number generator state. Setting this option to `false` allows sharing state between two or more pseudorandom number generators. Setting this option to `true` ensures that an underlying generator has exclusive control over its internal state. Default: `true`.
+
+To use a custom PRNG as the underlying source of uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers, set the `prng` option.
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
+var minstd = require( '@stdlib/random-base-minstd' );
+
+var opts = {
+    'prng': minstd.normalized
+};
+
+var out = new Float64Array( 10 );
+normal( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, [ 5.0 ], 0, out, 1, opts );
+```
+
+To seed the underlying pseudorandom number generator, set the `seed` option.
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
+
+var opts = {
+    'seed': 12345
+};
+
+var out = new Float64Array( 10 );
+normal( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, [ 5.0 ], 0, out, 1, opts );
+```
+
+#### normal.ndarray( N, mu, sm, om, sigma, ss, os, out, so, oo\[, options] )
+
+Fills a strided array with pseudorandom numbers drawn from a [normal][@stdlib/random/base/normal] distribution using alternative indexing semantics.
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
+
+// Create an array:
+var out = new Float64Array( 10 );
+
+// Fill the array with pseudorandom numbers:
+normal.ndarray( out.length, [ 2.0 ], 0, 0, [ 5.0 ], 0, 0, out, 1, 0 );
+```
+
+The function has the following additional parameters:
+
+-   **om**: starting index for `mu`.
+-   **os**: starting index for `sigma`.
+-   **oo**: starting index for `out`.
+
+While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying `buffer`, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to access every other value in `out` starting from the second value,
+
+```javascript
+var out = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
+
+normal.ndarray( 3, [ 2.0 ], 0, 0, [ 5.0 ], 0, 0, out, 2, 1 );
+```
+
+The function accepts the same `options` as documented above for `normal()`.
