| ``mx.nd.normal`` |
| ================================ |
| |
| Description |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Draw random samples from a normal (Gaussian) distribution. |
| |
| |
| .. note:: The existing alias ``normal`` is deprecated. |
| |
| Samples are distributed according to a normal distribution parametrized by *loc* (mean) and *scale* |
| (standard deviation). |
| |
| |
| **Example**:: |
| |
| |
| normal(loc=0, scale=1, shape=(2,2)) = [[ 1.89171135, -1.16881478], |
| [-1.23474145, 1.55807114]] |
