You may need to be a bit more specific for us to help you.

I assume you've found this:

http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/random-number-generation.html

and this:

https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/dsc-2007/abstracts/eddelbuettel06Oct16.pdf

I don't know how much data Dowd gives about what seed and algorithm he 
is using.  If you can provide a bit more of an example, perhaps I can be 
of more help.

Regards,

Brian
