numpy offers various methods to create random arrays, with some of the most commonly used methods being:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. numpy.random.rand: Generates an array of the specified dimensions with elements ranging from [0, 1) following a uniform distribution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    import<\/span> numpy as<\/span> np\r\n\r\narr = np.random.rand(3<\/span>, 4<\/span>)  # \u521b\u5efa\u4e00\u4e2a3\u884c4\u5217\u7684\u6570\u7ec4<\/span>\r\nprint<\/span>(arr)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. numpy.random.randn: Generate an array with the specified dimensions, where the elements follow a standard normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      import<\/span> numpy as<\/span> np\r\n\r\narr = np.random.randn(3<\/span>, 4<\/span>)  # \u521b\u5efa\u4e00\u4e2a3\u884c4\u5217\u7684\u6570\u7ec4<\/span>\r\nprint<\/span>(arr)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. numpy.random.randint generates an array of integers with specified dimensions and values within a specific range.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        import<\/span> numpy as<\/span> np\r\n\r\narr = np.random.randint(1<\/span>, 10<\/span>, size=(3<\/span>, 4<\/span>))  # \u521b\u5efa\u4e00\u4e2a3\u884c4\u5217\u7684\u6570\u7ec4\uff0c\u5143\u7d20\u53d6\u503c\u57281\u523010\u4e4b\u95f4<\/span>\r\nprint<\/span>(arr)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. numpy.random.random_sample: Generates an array of a given dimension with elements ranging between 0 and 1 (excluding 1) following a uniform distribution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          import<\/span> numpy as<\/span> np\r\n\r\narr = np.random.random_sample((3<\/span>, 4<\/span>))  # \u521b\u5efa\u4e00\u4e2a3\u884c4\u5217\u7684\u6570\u7ec4<\/span>\r\nprint<\/span>(arr)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
