numpy.random.rand¶

numpy.random.rand(d0, d1, ..., dn)¶

Random values in a given shape.

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

Parameters:

Parameters:	d0, d1, …, dn : int, optional The dimensions of the returned array, should all be positive. If no argument is given a single Python float is returned.
Returns:	out : ndarray, shape `(d0, d1, ..., dn)` Random values.

d0, d1, …, dn : int, optional

The dimensions of the returned array, should all be positive. If no argument is given a single Python float is returned.

Returns:

out : ndarray, shape (d0, d1, ..., dn)

Random values.
