rand#

Signature#

nabla.rand(shape: 'Shape', dtype: 'DType', lower: 'float', upper: 'float', device: 'Device', seed: 'int', batch_dims: 'Shape', traced: 'bool') -> 'Array'

Description#

Creates an array with uniformly distributed random values.

The values are drawn from a continuous uniform distribution over the interval [lower, upper).

Parameters#

  • shape (Shape): The shape of the output array.

  • dtype (DType, optional): The desired data type for the array. Defaults to DType.float32.

  • lower (float, optional): The lower boundary of the output interval. Defaults to 0.0.

  • upper (float, optional): The upper boundary of the output interval. Defaults to 1.0.

  • device (Device, optional): The device to place the array on. Defaults to the CPU.

  • seed (int, optional): The seed for the random number generator. Defaults to 0.

  • batch_dims (Shape, optional): Specifies leading dimensions to be treated as batch dimensions. Defaults to an empty tuple.

  • traced (bool, optional): Whether the operation should be traced in the graph. Defaults to False.

Returns#

  • Array: An array of the specified shape filled with random values.
