NumPy Random

This lesson is part of Python · All levels

Summary

The NumPy.random module provides a function to generate random numbers for simulation, weight initialisation, and data sharing. Rand() is available for decimal numbers 0 to 1, randint() for integers in the range, as well as choice() for selecting random elements from the set. The np.random.seed() function locks a random generator so that the same result appears in each experiment. Reproductivity like this is essential so that experiments can be repeated by others with identical results.

Key points

It generates a random float 0 to 1.
It produces high exclusive integers.
Select random elements from a list or array
It makes random results reproducible.
