numpy.random.bit_generator:BitGenerator.random_raw

Signature

def   random_raw ( self ,  size = None )

Summary

Return randoms as generated by the underlying BitGenerator

Parameters

size : int or tuple of ints, optional

Output shape. If the given shape is, e.g., (m, n, k), then m * n * k samples are drawn. Default is None, in which case a single value is returned.

output : bool, optional

Output values. Used for performance testing since the generated values are not returned.

Returns

out : uint or ndarray

Drawn samples.

Notes

This method directly exposes the raw underlying pseudo-random number generator. All values are returned as unsigned 64-bit values irrespective of the number of bits produced by the PRNG.

See the class docstring for the number of bits returned.
