Sample from the Laplace distribution on mlx arrays

Usage

mlx_rand_laplace(
  dim,
  loc = 0,
  scale = 1,
  dtype = c("float32", "float64"),
  device = mlx_default_device()
)

Arguments

dim

Integer vector specifying array dimensions (shape).

loc

Location parameter (mean) of the Laplace distribution.

scale

Scale parameter (diversity) of the Laplace distribution.

dtype

Desired MLX dtype ("float32" or "float64").

device

Execution target: supply "gpu", "cpu", or an mlx_stream created via mlx_new_stream(). Defaults to the current mlx_default_device() unless noted otherwise (helpers that act on an existing array typically reuse that array's device or stream).

Value

An mlx array with Laplace-distributed entries.

Examples

samples <- mlx_rand_laplace(c(2, 3), loc = 0, scale = 1)
