numpy.random.RandomState.rand — NumPy v2.6.dev0 Manual

method

random.RandomState.rand(d0, d1, ..., dn)

#

Random values in a given shape.

Note

This is a convenience function for users porting code from Matlab, and wraps

random_sample

. That function takes a tuple to specify the size of the output, which is consistent with other NumPy functions like

numpy.zeros

and

numpy.ones

.

Create an array of the given shape and populate it with random samples from a uniform distribution over [0,1).

Parameters:d0, d1, …, dnint, optionalThe dimensions of the returned array, must be non-negative. If no argument is given a single Python float is returned.

Returns:outndarray, shape (d0,d1,...,dn)Random values.

Examples

>>> np.random.rand(3,2)array([[ 0.14022471, 0.96360618], #random [ 0.37601032, 0.25528411], #random [ 0.49313049, 0.94909878]]) #random
