mindspore.ops.laplace

mindspore.ops.laplace(shape, mean, lambda_param, seed=None)

Generates random numbers according to the Laplace random number distribution. It is defined as:

\[\text{f}(x;μ,λ) = \frac{1}{2λ}\exp(-\frac{|x-μ|}{λ}),\]

Parameters

• shape (tuple) – The shape of random tensor to be generated. The format is \((N,*)\) where \(*\) means, any number of additional dimensions.

• mean (Tensor) – The mean μ distribution parameter, which specifies the location of the peak. With float32 data type.

• lambda_param (Tensor) – The parameter used for controlling the variance of this random distribution. The variance of Laplace distribution is equal to twice the square of lambda_param. With float32 data type.

• seed (int) – Seed is used as entropy source for Random number engines generating pseudo-random numbers. Default: None, which will be treated as 0.

Returns

Tensor. The shape should be the broadcasted shape of input shape and shapes of mean and lambda_param. The dtype is float32.

Examples

>>> import mindspore
>>> from mindspore import Tensor
>>> from mindspore import ops as ops
>>> shape = (2, 3)
>>> mean = Tensor(1.0, mindspore.float32)
>>> lambda_param = Tensor(1.0, mindspore.float32)
>>> output = ops.laplace(shape, mean, lambda_param, seed=5)
>>> print(output.shape)
(2, 3)
