One way to create random arrays in numpy is by using functions from the numpy.random module. Some commonly used functions include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. numpy.random.rand(d0, d1, …, dn) generates random samples from a uniform distribution with specified dimensions, ranging from 0 to 1.<\/li>\n
  2. numpy.random.randn(d0, d1, \u2026, dn) returns random samples from a standard normal distribution with specified dimensions.<\/li>\n
  3. numpy.random.randint(low, high=None, size=None, dtype=int) generates random integer samples within a specified range. The low parameter represents the lower bound (inclusive) and high is the upper bound (exclusive).<\/li>\n
  4. numpy.random.random_sample(size=None) returns random sample values between 0 and 1, with the option to specify the number of samples to return using the size parameter.<\/li>\n
  5. numpy.random.choice(a, size=None, replace=True, p=None): Select random sample values from a given one-dimensional array ‘a’.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Example code:<\/p>\n

    import<\/span> numpy as<\/span> np\r\n\r\n# \u751f\u6210\u4e00\u4e2a3x3\u7684\u968f\u673a\u6570\u7ec4\uff08\u5747\u5300\u5206\u5e03\uff09<\/span>\r\nrand_array = np.random.rand(3<\/span>, 3<\/span>)\r\nprint<\/span>(rand_array)\r\n\r\n# \u751f\u6210\u4e00\u4e2a\u6807\u51c6\u6b63\u6001\u5206\u5e03\u7684\u968f\u673a\u6570\u7ec4\uff083\u884c2\u5217\uff09<\/span>\r\nrandn_array = np.random.randn(3<\/span>, 2<\/span>)\r\nprint<\/span>(randn_array)\r\n\r\n# \u751f\u6210\u4e00\u4e2a10\u4e2a\u5143\u7d20\u7684\u968f\u673a\u6574\u6570\u6570\u7ec4\uff08\u53d6\u503c\u8303\u56f4\u5728[0, 10)\u4e4b\u95f4\uff09<\/span>\r\nrandint_array = np.random.randint(0<\/span>, 10<\/span>, size=10<\/span>)\r\nprint<\/span>(randint_array)\r\n\r\n# \u751f\u62105\u4e2a[0, 1)\u4e4b\u95f4\u7684\u968f\u673a\u6837\u672c\u503c<\/span>\r\nrandom_sample = np.random.random_sample(5<\/span>)\r\nprint<\/span>(random_sample)\r\n\r\n# \u4ece\u7ed9\u5b9a\u7684\u4e00\u7ef4\u6570\u7ec4\u4e2d\u968f\u673a\u9009\u62e93\u4e2a\u6837\u672c\u503c<\/span>\r\nchoices = np.random.choice([1<\/span>, 2<\/span>, 3<\/span>, 4<\/span>, 5<\/span>], size=3<\/span>)\r\nprint<\/span>(choices)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
