scipy.stats.rv_discrete.rvs#
- rv_discrete.rvs(*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,
numpy.random.Generator
, numpy.random.RandomState
}, optionalIf seed is None (or np.random), the
numpy.random.RandomState
singleton is used. If seed is an int, a newRandomState
instance is used, seeded with seed. If seed is already aGenerator
orRandomState
instance then that instance is used.
- Returns
- rvsndarray or scalar
Random variates of given size.
