`numpy.matlib:rand`

Signature

def rand(*args)

Return a matrix of random values with given shape.

Create a matrix of the given shape and propagate it with random samples from a uniform distribution over [0, 1).

\*args : Arguments: Shape of the output. If given as N integers, each integer specifies the size of one dimension. If given as a tuple, this tuple gives the complete shape.

np.random.seed(123)
import numpy.matlib
np.matlib.rand(2, 3)
np.matlib.rand((2, 3))

✓

matrix([[0.9807642 , 0.68482974, 0.4809319 ],
        [0.39211752, 0.34317802, 0.72904971]])

If the first argument is a tuple, other arguments are ignored:

np.matlib.rand((2, 3), 4)

matrix([[0.43857224, 0.0596779 , 0.39804426],
        [0.73799541, 0.18249173, 0.17545176]])
