cupy.random.beta#

cupy.random.beta(a, b, size=None, dtype=<class 'float'>)[source]#

Beta distribution.

Returns an array of samples drawn from the beta distribution. Its probability density function is defined as

\[f(x) = \frac{x^{\alpha-1}(1-x)^{\beta-1}}{B(\alpha,\beta)}.\]
Parameters:
  • a (float) – Parameter of the beta distribution \(\alpha\).

  • b (float) – Parameter of the beta distribution \(\beta\).

  • size (int or tuple of ints) – The shape of the array. If None, a zero-dimensional array is generated.

  • dtype – Data type specifier. Only numpy.float32 and numpy.float64 types are allowed.

Returns:

Samples drawn from the beta distribution.

Return type:

cupy.ndarray
