function a = spd_random_inverse ( n, key )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% spd_random_inverse returns the inverse of the SPD_RANDOM matrix.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The matrix returned will have eigenvalues in the range [0,1].
%
%  Properties:
%
%    A is symmetric: A' = A.
%
%    A is positive definite: 0 < x'*A*x for nonzero x.
%
%    The eigenvalues of A will be real.

%  Input:
%
%    integer N, the order of A.
%
%    integer KEY, a positive value that selects the data.
