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

Random values in a given shape.

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

Parameters:

d0, d1, ..., dn : int

Shape of the output.

Returns:

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

Random values.

Notes

This is a convenience function. If you want an interface that takes a shape-tuple as the first argument, refer to random.

Examples

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