`numpy.random._generator:Generator.standard_exponential`

Summary

Draw samples from the standard exponential distribution.

standard_exponential is identical to the exponential distribution with a scale parameter of 1.

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.
dtype : dtype, optional: Desired dtype of the result, only float64 and float32 are supported. Byteorder must be native. The default value is np.float64.
method : str, optional: Either 'inv' or 'zig'. 'inv' uses the default inverse CDF method. 'zig' uses the much faster Ziggurat method of Marsaglia and Tsang.
out : ndarray, optional: Alternative output array in which to place the result. If size is not None, it must have the same shape as the provided size and must match the type of the output values.

Output a 3x8000 array:

rng = np.random.default_rng()
n = rng.standard_exponential((3, 8000))
