Sample from a normal distribution on mlx arrays

Usage

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

Arguments

dim

Integer vector specifying array dimensions (shape).

mean

Mean of the normal distribution.

sd

Standard deviation of the normal distribution.

dtype

Data type string. Supported types include:

  • Floating point: "float32", "float64"

  • Integer: "int8", "int16", "int32", "int64", "uint8", "uint16", "uint32", "uint64"

  • Other: "bool", "complex64"

Not all functions support all types. See individual function documentation.

Value

An mlx array with normally distributed entries.

Examples

weights <- mlx_rand_normal(c(3, 3), mean = 0, sd = 0.1)
