Sample from a normal distribution on mlx arrays

Sample from a normal distribution on mlx arrays

Usage

mlx_rand_normal(
  dim,
  mean = 0,
  sd = 1,
  dtype = c("float32", "float64"),
  device = mlx_default_device()
)

Arguments

dim

Integer vector specifying the array shape/dimensions.

mean

Mean of the normal distribution.

sd

Standard deviation of the normal distribution.

dtype

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

device

Execution target: provide "gpu", "cpu", or an mlx_stream created via mlx_new_stream(). Defaults to the current mlx_default_device().

Value

An mlx array with normally distributed entries.
