Sample from a truncated normal distribution on mlx arrays

Sample from a truncated normal distribution on mlx arrays

Usage

mlx_rand_truncated_normal(
  lower,
  upper,
  dim,
  dtype = c("float32", "float64"),
  device = mlx_default_device()
)

Arguments

lower

Lower bound of the truncated normal.

upper

Upper bound of the truncated normal.

dim

Integer vector specifying array dimensions (shape).

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.

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 truncated normally distributed entries.
