You can control random number generation using 'rng()' function. The usage is rng(seed).
rng(seed) seeds the random number generator using the nonnegative integer seed so that rand, randi, and randn produce a predictable sequence of numbers.
Hope that helps..!!

x = rand(1,5)

You need to reset the seed.
rng(1,'twister');
x = rand(1,5)
rng(1,'twister');
x = rand(1,5)
