scipy.stats.rv_discrete.rvs¶
-
rv_discrete.
rvs
(self, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶ Random variates of given type.
- Parameters
- arg1, arg2, arg3,…array_like
The shape parameter(s) for the distribution (see docstring of the instance object for more information).
- locarray_like, optional
Location parameter (default=0).
- sizeint or tuple of ints, optional
Defining number of random variates (Default is 1). Note that size has to be given as keyword, not as positional argument.
- random_state{None, int, RandomState, Generator}, optional
This parameter defines the object to use for drawing random variates. If
random_state
is None the RandomState singleton is used. Ifrandom_state
is an int, a newRandomState
instance is used, seeded with random_state. Ifrandom_state
is already aRandomState
orGenerator
instance, then that object is used. Default is None.
- Returns
- rvsndarray or scalar
Random variates of given size.
