mx.nd.random.gamma

Description

Draw random samples from a gamma distribution.

Samples are distributed according to a gamma distribution parametrized by alpha (shape) and beta (scale).

Example:

gamma(alpha=9, beta=0.5, shape=(2,2)) = [[ 7.10486984,  3.37695289],
[ 3.91697288,  3.65933681]]

Arguments

Argument

Description

alpha

float, optional, default=1.

Alpha parameter (shape) of the gamma distribution.

beta

float, optional, default=1.

Beta parameter (scale) of the gamma distribution.

shape

Shape(tuple), optional, default=None.

Shape of the output.

ctx

string, optional, default=’’.

Context of output, in format [cpu|gpu|cpu_pinned](n). Only used for imperative calls.

dtype

{‘None’, ‘float16’, ‘float32’, ‘float64’},optional, default=’None’.

DType of the output in case this can’t be inferred. Defaults to float32 if not defined (dtype=None).
