Numo::Random

Numo::Random provides random number generation with several distributions for Numo::NArray.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'numo-random'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install numo-random

Usage

An example of generating random numbers according to the standard normal distribution:

require 'numo/narray'
require 'numo/gnuplot'

require 'numo/random'

# Creating random number generator.
rng = Numo::Random::Generator.new(seed: 42)

# Generating random numbers with a normal distribution.
x = rng.normal(shape: [5000, 2], loc: 0.0, scale: 1.0)

# Plotting the generated result.
Numo.gnuplot do
  set(terminal: 'png')
  set(output: 'normal2d.png')
  plot(x[true, 0], x[true, 1])
end

An example of generating random numbers according to the Poisson distribution:

require 'numo/narray'
require 'numo/gnuplot'

require 'numo/random'

# Creating random number generator.
rng = Numo::Random::Generator.new(seed: 9)

# Generating random numbers with Poisson distribution.
x = rng.poisson(shape: 10000, mean: 12)

# Plotting the generated result.
h = x.bincount

Numo.gnuplot do
  set(terminal: 'png')
  set(output: 'poisson2d.png')
  plot(h, with: 'boxes')
end
