## **Summary Statistics: Average, Median, Quantile and Standard Deviation**
**The average function returns the mean of the array. The mean sums all the values in an object and divides it by the total observations within the object.**

**The median function returns the value in the middle of the sorted array. If the total observations within the object is odd, the median is calculated by taking the mean of the two middle values.**

**The quantile function returns the q-th quantile of the data along the specified axis.**

**The standard deviation function returns the variation or dispesion of the data within an object. The larger the standard deviation, the greater the variability within the data.**_____no_output_____

## **Random**

**Is a package that produces pseudo random numbers using combinations of a BitGenerator to create sequences and a Generator to use those sequences to sample from different statistical distributions.**

**The NumPy random package is a great tool for data scientists that need to generate data sets to test their models. However the package should not be used for cryptographic because it generates pseudo random numbers. Instead Python users should consider the secrets package for cryptography.**_____no_output_____

    class BitGenerator(builtins.object)
     |  BitGenerator(seed=None)
     |
     |  Base Class for generic BitGenerators, which provide a stream
     |  of random bits based on different algorithms. Must be overridden.
     |
     |  Parameters
     |  ----------
     |  seed : {None, int, array_like[ints], SeedSequence}, optional
     |      A seed to initialize the `BitGenerator`. If None, then fresh,
     |      unpredictable entropy will be pulled from the OS. If an ``int`` or
     |      ``array_like[ints]`` is passed, then it will be passed to
     |      ~`numpy.random.SeedSequence` to derive the initial `BitGenerator` state.
     |      One may also pass in a `SeedSequence` instance.
     |
     |  Attributes
     |  ----------
     |  lock : threading.Lock
     |      Lock instance that is shared so that the same BitGenerator can
     |      be used in multiple Generators without corrupting the state. Code that
     |      generates values from a bit generator should hold the bit generator's
     |      lock.

     |
     |  random_raw(...)
     |      random_raw(self, size=None)
     |
     |      Return randoms as generated by the underlying BitGenerator
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          single value is returned.
     |      output : bool, optional
     |          Output values.  Used for performance testing since the generated
     |          values are not returned.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : uint or ndarray
     |          Drawn samples.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      This method directly exposes the the raw underlying pseudo-random
     |      number generator. All values are returned as unsigned 64-bit
     |      values irrespective of the number of bits produced by the PRNG.
     |
     |      See the class docstring for the number of bits returned.

    class Generator(builtins.object)
     |  Generator(bit_generator)
     |
     |  Container for the BitGenerators.
     |
     |  ``Generator`` exposes a number of methods for generating random
     |  numbers drawn from a variety of probability distributions. In addition to
     |  the distribution-specific arguments, each method takes a keyword argument
     |  `size` that defaults to ``None``. If `size` is ``None``, then a single
     |  value is generated and returned. If `size` is an integer, then a 1-D
     |  array filled with generated values is returned. If `size` is a tuple,
     |  then an array with that shape is filled and returned.
     |
     |  The function :func:`numpy.random.default_rng` will instantiate
     |  a `Generator` with numpy's default `BitGenerator`.
     |
     |  **No Compatibility Guarantee**
     |
     |  ``Generator`` does not provide a version compatibility guarantee. In
     |  particular, as better algorithms evolve the bit stream may change.
     |
     |  Parameters
     |  ----------
     |  bit_generator : BitGenerator
     |      BitGenerator to use as the core generator.
     |
     |  Notes
     |  -----
     |  The Python stdlib module `random` contains pseudo-random number generator
     |  with a number of methods that are similar to the ones available in
     |  ``Generator``. It uses Mersenne Twister, and this bit generator can
     |  be accessed using ``MT19937``. ``Generator``, besides being
     |  NumPy-aware, has the advantage that it provides a much larger number
     |  of probability distributions to choose from.
     |
     |  Examples
     |  --------
     |  >>> from numpy.random import Generator, PCG64
     |  >>> rg = Generator(PCG64())
     |  >>> rg.standard_normal()
     |  -0.203  # random

     |  beta(...)
     |      beta(a, b, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Beta distribution.
     |
     |      The Beta distribution is a special case of the Dirichlet distribution,
     |      and is related to the Gamma distribution.  It has the probability
     |      distribution function
     |
     |      .. math:: f(x; a,b) = \frac{1}{B(\alpha, \beta)} x^{\alpha - 1}
     |                                                       (1 - x)^{\beta - 1},
     |
     |      where the normalization, B, is the beta function,
     |
     |      .. math:: B(\alpha, \beta) = \int_0^1 t^{\alpha - 1}
     |                                   (1 - t)^{\beta - 1} dt.
     |
     |      It is often seen in Bayesian inference and order statistics.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      a : float or array_like of floats
     |          Alpha, positive (>0).
     |      b : float or array_like of floats
     |          Beta, positive (>0).
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``a`` and ``b`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(a, b).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized beta distribution.
     |
     |  binomial(...)
     |      binomial(n, p, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a binomial distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a binomial distribution with specified
     |      parameters, n trials and p probability of success where
     |      n an integer >= 0 and p is in the interval [0,1]. (n may be
     |      input as a float, but it is truncated to an integer in use)
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      n : int or array_like of ints
     |          Parameter of the distribution, >= 0. Floats are also accepted,
     |          but they will be truncated to integers.
     |      p : float or array_like of floats
     |          Parameter of the distribution, >= 0 and <=1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``n`` and ``p`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(n, p).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized binomial distribution, where
     |          each sample is equal to the number of successes over the n trials.
     |
     |      See Also
     |      --------
     |      scipy.stats.binom : probability density function, distribution or
     |          cumulative density function, etc.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the binomial distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(N) = \binom{n}{N}p^N(1-p)^{n-N},
     |
     |      where :math:`n` is the number of trials, :math:`p` is the probability
     |      of success, and :math:`N` is the number of successes.
     |
     |      When estimating the standard error of a proportion in a population by
     |      using a random sample, the normal distribution works well unless the
     |      product p*n <=5, where p = population proportion estimate, and n =
     |      number of samples, in which case the binomial distribution is used
     |      instead. For example, a sample of 15 people shows 4 who are left
     |      handed, and 11 who are right handed. Then p = 4/15 = 27%. 0.27*15 = 4,
     |      so the binomial distribution should be used in this case.

     |
     |      >>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
     |      >>> n, p = 10, .5  # number of trials, probability of each trial

     |
     |  chisquare(...)
     |      chisquare(df, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a chi-square distribution.
     |
     |      When `df` independent random variables, each with standard normal
     |      distributions (mean 0, variance 1), are squared and summed, the
     |      resulting distribution is chi-square (see Notes).  This distribution
     |      is often used in hypothesis testing.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      df : float or array_like of floats
     |           Number of degrees of freedom, must be > 0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``df`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(df).size`` samples are drawn.

     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized chi-square distribution.
     |
     |      Raises
     |      ------
     |      ValueError
     |          When `df` <= 0 or when an inappropriate `size` (e.g. ``size=-1``)
     |          is given.
     |

     |      -----
     |      The variable obtained by summing the squares of `df` independent,
     |      standard normally distributed random variables:

     |      .. math:: Q = \sum_{i=0}^{\mathtt{df}} X^2_i
     |
     |      is chi-square distributed, denoted

     |
     |      Generates a random sample from a given 1-D array
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      a : {array_like, int}
     |          If an ndarray, a random sample is generated from its elements.
     |          If an int, the random sample is generated from np.arange(a).
     |      size : {int, tuple[int]}, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn from the 1-d `a`. If `a` has more
     |          than one dimension, the `size` shape will be inserted into the
     |          `axis` dimension, so the output ``ndim`` will be ``a.ndim - 1 +
     |          len(size)``. Default is None, in which case a single value is
     |          returned.
     |      replace : bool, optional
     |          Whether the sample is with or without replacement
     |      p : 1-D array_like, optional
     |          The probabilities associated with each entry in a.
     |          If not given the sample assumes a uniform distribution over all
     |          entries in a.
     |      axis : int, optional
     |          The axis along which the selection is performed. The default, 0,
     |          selects by row.
     |      shuffle : bool, optional
     |          Whether the sample is shuffled when sampling without replacement.
     |          Default is True, False provides a speedup.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      samples : single item or ndarray
     |          The generated random samples
     |
     |      Raises
     |      ------
     |      ValueError
     |          If a is an int and less than zero, if p is not 1-dimensional, if
     |          a is array-like with a size 0, if p is not a vector of
     |          probabilities, if a and p have different lengths, or if
     |          replace=False and the sample size is greater than the population
     |          size.

     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Generate a uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size 3:
     |
     |      >>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
     |      >>> rng.choice(5, 3)
     |      array([0, 3, 4]) # random
     |      >>> #This is equivalent to rng.integers(0,5,3)
     |
     |      Generate a non-uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size 3:
     |
     |      >>> rng.choice(5, 3, p=[0.1, 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0])
     |      array([3, 3, 0]) # random
     |
     |      Generate a uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size 3 without
     |      replacement:
     |
     |      >>> rng.choice(5, 3, replace=False)
     |      array([3,1,0]) # random
     |      >>> #This is equivalent to rng.permutation(np.arange(5))[:3]
     |
     |      Generate a non-uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size
     |      3 without replacement:
     |
     |      >>> rng.choice(5, 3, replace=False, p=[0.1, 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0])
     |      array([2, 3, 0]) # random
     |
     |      Any of the above can be repeated with an arbitrary array-like
     |      instead of just integers. For instance:

     |  dirichlet(...)
     |      dirichlet(alpha, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from the Dirichlet distribution.
     |
     |      Draw `size` samples of dimension k from a Dirichlet distribution. A
     |      Dirichlet-distributed random variable can be seen as a multivariate
     |      generalization of a Beta distribution. The Dirichlet distribution
     |      is a conjugate prior of a multinomial distribution in Bayesian
     |      inference.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      alpha : sequence of floats, length k
     |          Parameter of the distribution (length ``k`` for sample of
     |          length ``k``).
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          vector of length ``k`` is returned.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      samples : ndarray,
     |          The drawn samples, of shape ``(size, k)``.
     |
     |      Raises
     |      -------
     |      ValueError
     |          If any value in ``alpha`` is less than or equal to zero
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The Dirichlet distribution is a distribution over vectors
     |      :math:`x` that fulfil the conditions :math:`x_i>0` and
     |      :math:`\sum_{i=1}^k x_i = 1`.
     |
     |      The probability density function :math:`p` of a
     |      Dirichlet-distributed random vector :math:`X` is
     |      proportional to
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) \propto \prod_{i=1}^{k}{x^{\alpha_i-1}_i},
     |
     |      where :math:`\alpha` is a vector containing the positive
     |      concentration parameters.
     |
     |      The method uses the following property for computation: let :math:`Y`
     |      be a random vector which has components that follow a standard gamma
     |      distribution, then :math:`X = \frac{1}{\sum_{i=1}^k{Y_i}} Y`
     |      is Dirichlet-distributed

     |      with different lengths, where each piece had, on average, a designated

     |  exponential(...)
     |      exponential(scale=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from an exponential distribution.
     |
     |      Its probability density function is
     |
     |      .. math:: f(x; \frac{1}{\beta}) = \frac{1}{\beta} \exp(-\frac{x}{\beta}),
     |
     |      for ``x > 0`` and 0 elsewhere. :math:`\beta` is the scale parameter,
     |      which is the inverse of the rate parameter :math:`\lambda = 1/\beta`.
     |      The rate parameter is an alternative, widely used parameterization
     |      of the exponential distribution [3]_.
     |
     |      The exponential distribution is a continuous analogue of the
     |      geometric distribution.  It describes many common situations, such as
     |      the size of raindrops measured over many rainstorms [1]_, or the time
     |      between page requests to Wikipedia [2]_.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats
     |          The scale parameter, :math:`\beta = 1/\lambda`. Must be
     |          non-negative.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``scale`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized exponential distribution.

     |  f(...)
     |      f(dfnum, dfden, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from an F distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from an F distribution with specified parameters,
     |      `dfnum` (degrees of freedom in numerator) and `dfden` (degrees of
     |      freedom in denominator), where both parameters must be greater than
     |      zero.
     |
     |      The random variate of the F distribution (also known as the
     |      Fisher distribution) is a continuous probability distribution
     |      that arises in ANOVA tests, and is the ratio of two chi-square
     |      variates.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      dfnum : float or array_like of floats
     |          Degrees of freedom in numerator, must be > 0.
     |      dfden : float or array_like of float
     |          Degrees of freedom in denominator, must be > 0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``dfnum`` and ``dfden`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(dfnum, dfden).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Fisher distribution.

     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The F statistic is used to compare in-group variances to between-group
     |      variances. Calculating the distribution depends on the sampling, and
     |      so it is a function of the respective degrees of freedom in the
     |      problem.  The variable `dfnum` is the number of samples minus one, the
     |      between-groups degrees of freedom, while `dfden` is the within-groups
     |      degrees of freedom, the sum of the number of samples in each group
     |      minus the number of groups.

     |             https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-distribution
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      An example from Glantz[1], pp 47-40:
     |
     |      Two groups, children of diabetics (25 people) and children from people
     |      without diabetes (25 controls). Fasting blood glucose was measured,
     |      case group had a mean value of 86.1, controls had a mean value of
     |      82.2. Standard deviations were 2.09 and 2.49 respectively. Are these
     |      data consistent with the null hypothesis that the parents diabetic
     |      status does not affect their children's blood glucose levels?
     |      Calculating the F statistic from the data gives a value of 36.01.
     |
     |      Draw samples from the distribution:
     |
     |      >>> dfnum = 1. # between group degrees of freedom
     |      >>> dfden = 48. # within groups degrees of freedom
     |      >>> s = np.random.default_rng().f(dfnum, dfden, 1000)
     |
     |      The lower bound for the top 1% of the samples is :
     |
     |      >>> np.sort(s)[-10]
     |      7.61988120985 # random
     |
     |      So there is about a 1% chance that the F statistic will exceed 7.62,
     |      the measured value is 36, so the null hypothesis is rejected at the 1%
     |      level.
     |
     |  gamma(...)
     |      gamma(shape, scale=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Gamma distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a Gamma distribution with specified parameters,
     |      `shape` (sometimes designated "k") and `scale` (sometimes designated
     |      "theta"), where both parameters are > 0.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      shape : float or array_like of floats
     |          The shape of the gamma distribution. Must be non-negative.
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          The scale of the gamma distribution. Must be non-negative.
     |          Default is equal to 1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``shape`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(shape, scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized gamma distribution.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the Gamma distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = x^{k-1}\frac{e^{-x/\theta}}{\theta^k\Gamma(k)},
     |
     |      where :math:`k` is the shape and :math:`\theta` the scale,
     |      and :math:`\Gamma` is the Gamma function.
     |
     |      The Gamma distribution is often used to model the times to failure of
     |      electronic components, and arises naturally in processes for which the
     |      waiting times between Poisson distributed events are relevant.

     |  geometric(...)
     |      geometric(p, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from the geometric distribution.
     |
     |      Bernoulli trials are experiments with one of two outcomes:
     |      success or failure (an example of such an experiment is flipping
     |      a coin).  The geometric distribution models the number of trials
     |      that must be run in order to achieve success.  It is therefore
     |      supported on the positive integers, ``k = 1, 2, ...``.
     |
     |      The probability mass function of the geometric distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: f(k) = (1 - p)^{k - 1} p
     |
     |      where `p` is the probability of success of an individual trial.

     |          a single value is returned if ``p`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(p).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------

     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The Gumbel (or Smallest Extreme Value (SEV) or the Smallest Extreme
     |      Value Type I) distribution is one of a class of Generalized Extreme
     |      Value (GEV) distributions used in modeling extreme value problems.
     |      The Gumbel is a special case of the Extreme Value Type I distribution
     |      for maximums from distributions with "exponential-like" tails.
     |
     |      The probability density for the Gumbel distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{e^{-(x - \mu)/ \beta}}{\beta} e^{ -e^{-(x - \mu)/
     |                \beta}},
     |
     |      where :math:`\mu` is the mode, a location parameter, and
     |      :math:`\beta` is the scale parameter.
     |
     |      The Gumbel (named for German mathematician Emil Julius Gumbel) was used
     |      very early in the hydrology literature, for modeling the occurrence of
     |      flood events. It is also used for modeling maximum wind speed and
     |      rainfall rates.  It is a "fat-tailed" distribution - the probability of
     |      an event in the tail of the distribution is larger than if one used a
     |      Gaussian, hence the surprisingly frequent occurrence of 100-year
     |      floods. Floods were initially modeled as a Gaussian process, which
     |      underestimated the frequency of extreme events.
     |
     |      It is one of a class of extreme value distributions, the Generalized
     |      Extreme Value (GEV) distributions, which also includes the Weibull and
     |      Frechet.
     |
     |      The function has a mean of :math:`\mu + 0.57721\beta` and a variance
     |      of :math:`\frac{\pi^2}{6}\beta^2`.

     |          ``ngood + nbad``.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if `ngood`, `nbad`, and `nsample`
     |          are all scalars.  Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(ngood, nbad, nsample).size``
     |          samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized hypergeometric distribution. Each
     |          sample is the number of good items within a randomly selected subset of
     |          size `nsample` taken from a set of `ngood` good items and `nbad` bad items.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the Hypergeometric distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x) = \frac{\binom{g}{x}\binom{b}{n-x}}{\binom{g+b}{n}},
     |
     |      where :math:`0 \le x \le n` and :math:`n-b \le x \le g`
     |
     |      for P(x) the probability of ``x`` good results in the drawn sample,
     |      g = `ngood`, b = `nbad`, and n = `nsample`.
     |
     |      Consider an urn with black and white marbles in it, `ngood` of them
     |      are black and `nbad` are white. If you draw `nsample` balls without
     |      replacement, then the hypergeometric distribution describes the
     |      distribution of black balls in the drawn sample.
     |
     |      Note that this distribution is very similar to the binomial
     |      distribution, except that in this case, samples are drawn without
     |      replacement, whereas in the Binomial case samples are drawn with
     |      replacement (or the sample space is infinite). As the sample space
     |      becomes large, this distribution approaches the binomial.
     |
     |      The arguments `ngood` and `nbad` each must be less than `10**9`. For
     |      extremely large arguments, the algorithm that is used to compute the
     |      samples [4]_ breaks down because of loss of precision in floating point
     |      calculations.  For such large values, if `nsample` is not also large,
     |      the distribution can be approximated with the binomial distribution,
     |      `binomial(n=nsample, p=ngood/(ngood + nbad))`.

     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Draw samples from the distribution:
     |
     |      >>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
     |      >>> ngood, nbad, nsamp = 100, 2, 10

     |      >>> hist(s)
     |      #   note that it is very unlikely to grab both bad items
     |
     |      Suppose you have an urn with 15 white and 15 black marbles.
     |      If you pull 15 marbles at random, how likely is it that
     |      12 or more of them are one color?
     |
     |      >>> s = rng.hypergeometric(15, 15, 15, 100000)
     |      >>> sum(s>=12)/100000. + sum(s<=3)/100000.
     |      #   answer = 0.003 ... pretty unlikely!
     |
     |  integers(...)
     |      integers(low, high=None, size=None, dtype=np.int64, endpoint=False)
     |
     |      Return random integers from `low` (inclusive) to `high` (exclusive), or
     |      if endpoint=True, `low` (inclusive) to `high` (inclusive). Replaces
     |      `RandomState.randint` (with endpoint=False) and
     |      `RandomState.random_integers` (with endpoint=True)
     |
     |      Return random integers from the "discrete uniform" distribution of
     |      the specified dtype. If `high` is None (the default), then results are
     |      from 0 to `low`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      low : int or array-like of ints
     |          Lowest (signed) integers to be drawn from the distribution (unless
     |          ``high=None``, in which case this parameter is 0 and this value is
     |          used for `high`).
     |      high : int or array-like of ints, optional
     |          If provided, one above the largest (signed) integer to be drawn
     |          from the distribution (see above for behavior if ``high=None``).
     |          If array-like, must contain integer values
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          single value is returned.
     |      dtype : dtype, optional
     |          Desired dtype of the result. Byteorder must be native.
     |          The default value is np.int64.
     |      endpoint : bool, optional
     |          If true, sample from the interval [low, high] instead of the
     |          default [low, high)
     |          Defaults to False
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : int or ndarray of ints
     |          `size`-shaped array of random integers from the appropriate
     |          distribution, or a single such random int if `size` not provided.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      When using broadcasting with uint64 dtypes, the maximum value (2**64)
     |      cannot be represented as a standard integer type. The high array (or
     |      low if high is None) must have object dtype, e.g., array([2**64]).
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      >>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
     |      >>> rng.integers(2, size=10)
     |      array([1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0])  # random
     |      >>> rng.integers(1, size=10)
     |      array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
     |
     |      Generate a 2 x 4 array of ints between 0 and 4, inclusive:
     |
     |      >>> rng.integers(5, size=(2, 4))
     |      array([[4, 0, 2, 1],
     |             [3, 2, 2, 0]])  # random
     |
     |      Generate a 1 x 3 array with 3 different upper bounds
     |
     |      >>> rng.integers(1, [3, 5, 10])
     |      array([2, 2, 9])  # random
     |
     |      Generate a 1 by 3 array with 3 different lower bounds
     |
     |      >>> rng.integers([1, 5, 7], 10)
     |      array([9, 8, 7])  # random
     |
     |      Generate a 2 by 4 array using broadcasting with dtype of uint8
     |
     |      >>> rng.integers([1, 3, 5, 7], [[10], [20]], dtype=np.uint8)
     |      array([[ 8,  6,  9,  7],
     |             [ 1, 16,  9, 12]], dtype=uint8)  # random

     |  laplace(...)
     |      laplace(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from the Laplace or double exponential distribution with
     |      specified location (or mean) and scale (decay).
     |
     |      The Laplace distribution is similar to the Gaussian/normal distribution,
     |      but is sharper at the peak and has fatter tails. It represents the
     |      difference between two independent, identically distributed exponential
     |      random variables.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      loc : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          The position, :math:`\mu`, of the distribution peak. Default is 0.
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          :math:`\lambda`, the exponential decay. Default is 1. Must be non-
     |          negative.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``loc`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(loc, scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Laplace distribution.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      It has the probability density function
     |
     |      .. math:: f(x; \mu, \lambda) = \frac{1}{2\lambda}
     |                                     \exp\left(-\frac{|x - \mu|}{\lambda}\right).
     |
     |      The first law of Laplace, from 1774, states that the frequency
     |      of an error can be expressed as an exponential function of the
     |      absolute magnitude of the error, which leads to the Laplace
     |      distribution. For many problems in economics and health
     |      sciences, this distribution seems to model the data better
     |      than the standard Gaussian distribution.

     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a logistic distribution with specified

     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------

     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(loc, scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns

     |      Notes

     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      A variable `x` has a log-normal distribution if `log(x)` is normally
     |      distributed.  The probability density function for the log-normal
     |      distribution is:
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma x \sqrt{2\pi}}
     |                       e^{(-\frac{(ln(x)-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2})}
     |
     |      where :math:`\mu` is the mean and :math:`\sigma` is the standard
     |      deviation of the normally distributed logarithm of the variable.
     |      A log-normal distribution results if a random variable is the *product*
     |      of a large number of independent, identically-distributed variables in
     |      the same way that a normal distribution results if the variable is the
     |      *sum* of a large number of independent, identically-distributed
     |      variables.

     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Draw samples from the distribution:
     |
     |      >>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
     |      >>> mu, sigma = 3., 1. # mean and standard deviation
     |      >>> s = rng.lognormal(mu, sigma, 1000)
     |
     |      Display the histogram of the samples, along with
     |      the probability density function:
     |
     |      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     |      >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(s, 100, density=True, align='mid')
     |
     |      >>> x = np.linspace(min(bins), max(bins), 10000)
     |      >>> pdf = (np.exp(-(np.log(x) - mu)**2 / (2 * sigma**2))
     |      ...        / (x * sigma * np.sqrt(2 * np.pi)))
     |
     |      >>> plt.plot(x, pdf, linewidth=2, color='r')
     |      >>> plt.axis('tight')
     |      >>> plt.show()
     |
     |      Demonstrate that taking the products of random samples from a uniform
     |      distribution can be fit well by a log-normal probability density
     |      function.
     |
     |      >>> # Generate a thousand samples: each is the product of 100 random
     |      >>> # values, drawn from a normal distribution.
     |      >>> rng = rng
     |      >>> b = []
     |      >>> for i in range(1000):
     |      ...    a = 10. + rng.standard_normal(100)
     |      ...    b.append(np.product(a))
     |
     |      >>> b = np.array(b) / np.min(b) # scale values to be positive
     |      >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(b, 100, density=True, align='mid')
     |      >>> sigma = np.std(np.log(b))
     |      >>> mu = np.mean(np.log(b))
     |
     |      >>> x = np.linspace(min(bins), max(bins), 10000)
     |      >>> pdf = (np.exp(-(np.log(x) - mu)**2 / (2 * sigma**2))
     |      ...        / (x * sigma * np.sqrt(2 * np.pi)))
     |
     |      >>> plt.plot(x, pdf, color='r', linewidth=2)

     |  logseries(...)
     |      logseries(p, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a logarithmic series distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a log series distribution with specified
     |      shape parameter, 0 < ``p`` < 1.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      p : float or array_like of floats
     |          Shape parameter for the distribution.  Must be in the range (0, 1).
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``p`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(p).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized logarithmic series distribution.

     |      The probability mass function for the Log Series distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(k) = \frac{-p^k}{k \ln(1-p)},
     |
     |      where p = probability.
     |
     |      The log series distribution is frequently used to represent species
     |      richness and occurrence, first proposed by Fisher, Corbet, and
     |      Williams in 1943 [2].  It may also be used to model the numbers of
     |      occupants seen in cars [3].

     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Draw samples from the distribution:
     |
     |      >>> a = .6
     |      >>> s = np.random.default_rng().logseries(a, 10000)
     |      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     |      >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(s)

     |      >>> plt.show()
     |
     |  multinomial(...)
     |      multinomial(n, pvals, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a multinomial distribution.
     |
     |      The multinomial distribution is a multivariate generalization of the
     |      binomial distribution.  Take an experiment with one of ``p``
     |      possible outcomes.  An example of such an experiment is throwing a dice,
     |      where the outcome can be 1 through 6.  Each sample drawn from the
     |      distribution represents `n` such experiments.  Its values,
     |      ``X_i = [X_0, X_1, ..., X_p]``, represent the number of times the
     |      outcome was ``i``.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      n : int or array-like of ints
     |          Number of experiments.
     |      pvals : sequence of floats, length p
     |          Probabilities of each of the ``p`` different outcomes.  These
     |          must sum to 1 (however, the last element is always assumed to
     |          account for the remaining probability, as long as
     |          ``sum(pvals[:-1]) <= 1)``.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          single value is returned.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray
     |          The drawn samples, of shape *size*, if that was provided.  If not,
     |          the shape is ``(N,)``.
     |
     |          In other words, each entry ``out[i,j,...,:]`` is an N-dimensional
     |          value drawn from the distribution.
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Throw a dice 20 times:
     |
     |      >>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
     |      >>> rng.multinomial(20, [1/6.]*6, size=1)
     |      array([[4, 1, 7, 5, 2, 1]])  # random
     |
     |      It landed 4 times on 1, once on 2, etc.
     |
     |      Now, throw the dice 20 times, and 20 times again:
     |
     |      >>> rng.multinomial(20, [1/6.]*6, size=2)
     |      array([[3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 3],
     |             [2, 4, 3, 4, 0, 7]])  # random
     |
     |      For the first run, we threw 3 times 1, 4 times 2, etc.  For the second,
     |      we threw 2 times 1, 4 times 2, etc.
     |
     |      Now, do one experiment throwing the dice 10 time, and 10 times again,
     |      and another throwing the dice 20 times, and 20 times again:
     |
     |      >>> rng.multinomial([[10], [20]], [1/6.]*6, size=(2, 2))
     |      array([[[2, 4, 0, 1, 2, 1],
     |              [1, 3, 0, 3, 1, 2]],
     |             [[1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3],
     |              [3, 3, 2, 5, 5, 2]]])  # random
     |
     |      The first array shows the outcomes of throwing the dice 10 times, and
     |      the second shows the outcomes from throwing the dice 20 times.
     |
     |      A loaded die is more likely to land on number 6:
     |
     |      >>> rng.multinomial(100, [1/7.]*5 + [2/7.])
     |      array([11, 16, 14, 17, 16, 26])  # random
     |
     |      The probability inputs should be normalized. As an implementation
     |      detail, the value of the last entry is ignored and assumed to take
     |      up any leftover probability mass, but this should not be relied on.
     |      A biased coin which has twice as much weight on one side as on the
     |      other should be sampled like so:
     |
     |      >>> rng.multinomial(100, [1.0 / 3, 2.0 / 3])  # RIGHT
     |      array([38, 62])  # random
     |
     |      not like:
     |
     |      >>> rng.multinomial(100, [1.0, 2.0])  # WRONG
     |      Traceback (most recent call last):
     |      ValueError: pvals < 0, pvals > 1 or pvals contains NaNs

     |  multivariate_hypergeometric(...)
     |      multivariate_hypergeometric(colors, nsample, size=None,
     |                                  method='marginals')
     |
     |      Generate variates from a multivariate hypergeometric distribution.
     |
     |      The multivariate hypergeometric distribution is a generalization
     |      of the hypergeometric distribution.
     |
     |      Choose ``nsample`` items at random without replacement from a
     |      collection with ``N`` distinct types.  ``N`` is the length of
     |      ``colors``, and the values in ``colors`` are the number of occurrences
     |      of that type in the collection.  The total number of items in the
     |      collection is ``sum(colors)``.  Each random variate generated by this
     |      function is a vector of length ``N`` holding the counts of the
     |      different types that occurred in the ``nsample`` items.
     |
     |      The name ``colors`` comes from a common description of the
     |      distribution: it is the probability distribution of the number of
     |      marbles of each color selected without replacement from an urn
     |      containing marbles of different colors; ``colors[i]`` is the number
     |      of marbles in the urn with color ``i``.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      colors : sequence of integers
     |          The number of each type of item in the collection from which
     |          a sample is drawn.  The values in ``colors`` must be nonnegative.
     |          To avoid loss of precision in the algorithm, ``sum(colors)``
     |          must be less than ``10**9`` when `method` is "marginals".
     |      nsample : int
     |          The number of items selected.  ``nsample`` must not be greater
     |          than ``sum(colors)``.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          The number of variates to generate, either an integer or a tuple
     |          holding the shape of the array of variates.  If the given size is,
     |          e.g., ``(k, m)``, then ``k * m`` variates are drawn, where one
     |          variate is a vector of length ``len(colors)``, and the return value
     |          has shape ``(k, m, len(colors))``.  If `size` is an integer, the
     |          output has shape ``(size, len(colors))``.  Default is None, in
     |          which case a single variate is returned as an array with shape
     |          ``(len(colors),)``.
     |      method : string, optional
     |          Specify the algorithm that is used to generate the variates.
     |          Must be 'count' or 'marginals' (the default).  See the Notes
     |          for a description of the methods.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      variates : ndarray
     |          Array of variates drawn from the multivariate hypergeometric
     |          distribution.

     |          distribution.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The two methods do not return the same sequence of variates.
     |
     |      The "count" algorithm is roughly equivalent to the following numpy
     |      code::
     |
     |          choices = np.repeat(np.arange(len(colors)), colors)
     |          selection = np.random.choice(choices, nsample, replace=False)
     |          variate = np.bincount(selection, minlength=len(colors))
     |
     |      The "count" algorithm uses a temporary array of integers with length
     |      ``sum(colors)``.
     |
     |      The "marginals" algorithm generates a variate by using repeated
     |      calls to the univariate hypergeometric sampler.  It is roughly
     |      equivalent to::
     |
     |          variate = np.zeros(len(colors), dtype=np.int64)
     |          # `remaining` is the cumulative sum of `colors` from the last
     |          # element to the first; e.g. if `colors` is [3, 1, 5], then
     |          # `remaining` is [9, 6, 5].
     |          remaining = np.cumsum(colors[::-1])[::-1]
     |          for i in range(len(colors)-1):
     |              if nsample < 1:
     |                  break
     |              variate[i] = hypergeometric(colors[i], remaining[i+1],
     |                                         nsample)
     |              nsample -= variate[i]
     |          variate[-1] = nsample
     |
     |      The default method is "marginals".  For some cases (e.g. when
     |      `colors` contains relatively small integers), the "count" method
     |      can be significantly faster than the "marginals" method.  If
     |      performance of the algorithm is important, test the two methods
     |      with typical inputs to decide which works best.

     |  multivariate_normal(...)
     |      multivariate_normal(mean, cov, size=None, check_valid='warn', tol=1e-8)
     |
     |      Draw random samples from a multivariate normal distribution.
     |
     |      The multivariate normal, multinormal or Gaussian distribution is a
     |      generalization of the one-dimensional normal distribution to higher
     |      dimensions.  Such a distribution is specified by its mean and
     |      covariance matrix.  These parameters are analogous to the mean
     |      (average or "center") and variance (standard deviation, or "width,"
     |      squared) of the one-dimensional normal distribution.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      mean : 1-D array_like, of length N
     |          Mean of the N-dimensional distribution.
     |      cov : 2-D array_like, of shape (N, N)
     |          Covariance matrix of the distribution. It must be symmetric and
     |          positive-semidefinite for proper sampling.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Given a shape of, for example, ``(m,n,k)``, ``m*n*k`` samples are
     |          generated, and packed in an `m`-by-`n`-by-`k` arrangement.  Because
     |          each sample is `N`-dimensional, the output shape is ``(m,n,k,N)``.
     |          If no shape is specified, a single (`N`-D) sample is returned.
     |      check_valid : { 'warn', 'raise', 'ignore' }, optional
     |          Behavior when the covariance matrix is not positive semidefinite.
     |      tol : float, optional
     |          Tolerance when checking the singular values in covariance matrix.
     |          cov is cast to double before the check.
     |      method : { 'svd', 'eigh', 'cholesky'}, optional
     |          The cov input is used to compute a factor matrix A such that
     |          ``A @ A.T = cov``. This argument is used to select the method
     |          used to compute the factor matrix A. The default method 'svd' is
     |          the slowest, while 'cholesky' is the fastest but less robust than
     |          the slowest method. The method `eigh` uses eigen decomposition to
     |          compute A and is faster than svd but slower than cholesky.

     |

     |      The mean is a coordinate in N-dimensional space, which represents the
     |      location where samples are most likely to be generated.  This is
     |      analogous to the peak of the bell curve for the one-dimensional or
     |      univariate normal distribution.
     |
     |      Covariance indicates the level to which two variables vary together.
     |      From the multivariate normal distribution, we draw N-dimensional
     |      samples, :math:`X = [x_1, x_2, ... x_N]`.  The covariance matrix
     |      element :math:`C_{ij}` is the covariance of :math:`x_i` and :math:`x_j`.
     |      The element :math:`C_{ii}` is the variance of :math:`x_i` (i.e. its
     |      "spread").
     |
     |      Instead of specifying the full covariance matrix, popular
     |      approximations include:
     |
     |        - Spherical covariance (`cov` is a multiple of the identity matrix)
     |        - Diagonal covariance (`cov` has non-negative elements, and only on
     |          the diagonal)
     |
     |      This geometrical property can be seen in two dimensions by plotting
     |      generated data-points:
     |
     |      >>> mean = [0, 0]
     |      >>> cov = [[1, 0], [0, 100]]  # diagonal covariance
     |
     |      Diagonal covariance means that points are oriented along x or y-axis:
     |
     |      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     |      >>> x, y = np.random.default_rng().multivariate_normal(mean, cov, 5000).T
     |      >>> plt.plot(x, y, 'x')
     |      >>> plt.axis('equal')
     |      >>> plt.show()
     |
     |      Note that the covariance matrix must be positive semidefinite (a.k.a.
     |      nonnegative-definite). Otherwise, the behavior of this method is
     |      undefined and backwards compatibility is not guaranteed.

     |  negative_binomial(...)
     |      negative_binomial(n, p, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a negative binomial distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a negative binomial distribution with specified
     |      parameters, `n` successes and `p` probability of success where `n`
     |      is > 0 and `p` is in the interval (0, 1].
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      n : float or array_like of floats
     |          Parameter of the distribution, > 0.
     |      p : float or array_like of floats
     |          Parameter of the distribution. Must satisfy 0 < p <= 1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``n`` and ``p`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(n, p).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized negative binomial distribution,
     |          where each sample is equal to N, the number of failures that
     |          occurred before a total of n successes was reached.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability mass function of the negative binomial distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(N;n,p) = \frac{\Gamma(N+n)}{N!\Gamma(n)}p^{n}(1-p)^{N},
     |
     |      where :math:`n` is the number of successes, :math:`p` is the
     |      probability of success, :math:`N+n` is the number of trials, and
     |      :math:`\Gamma` is the gamma function. When :math:`n` is an integer,
     |      :math:`\frac{\Gamma(N+n)}{N!\Gamma(n)} = \binom{N+n-1}{N}`, which is
     |      the more common form of this term in the the pmf. The negative
     |      binomial distribution gives the probability of N failures given n
     |      successes, with a success on the last trial.
     |
     |      If one throws a die repeatedly until the third time a "1" appears,
     |      then the probability distribution of the number of non-"1"s that
     |      appear before the third "1" is a negative binomial distribution.

     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------

     |      nonc : float or array_like of floats
     |          Non-centrality parameter, the sum of the squares of the numerator
     |          means, must be >= 0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      When calculating the power of an experiment (power = probability of
     |      rejecting the null hypothesis when a specific alternative is true) the
     |      non-central F statistic becomes important.  When the null hypothesis is
     |      true, the F statistic follows a central F distribution. When the null
     |      hypothesis is not true, then it follows a non-central F statistic.

     |  normal(...)
     |      normal(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw random samples from a normal (Gaussian) distribution.
     |
     |      The probability density function of the normal distribution, first
     |      derived by De Moivre and 200 years later by both Gauss and Laplace
     |      independently [2]_, is often called the bell curve because of
     |      its characteristic shape (see the example below).
     |
     |      The normal distributions occurs often in nature.  For example, it
     |      describes the commonly occurring distribution of samples influenced
     |      by a large number of tiny, random disturbances, each with its own
     |      unique distribution [2]_.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      loc : float or array_like of floats
     |          Mean ("centre") of the distribution.
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats
     |          Standard deviation (spread or "width") of the distribution. Must be
     |          non-negative.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``loc`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(loc, scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized normal distribution.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the Gaussian distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{ 2 \pi \sigma^2 }}
     |                       e^{ - \frac{ (x - \mu)^2 } {2 \sigma^2} },
     |
     |      where :math:`\mu` is the mean and :math:`\sigma` the standard
     |      deviation. The square of the standard deviation, :math:`\sigma^2`,
     |      is called the variance.
     |
     |      The function has its peak at the mean, and its "spread" increases with
     |      the standard deviation (the function reaches 0.607 times its maximum at
     |      :math:`x + \sigma` and :math:`x - \sigma` [2]_).  This implies that
     |      :meth:`normal` is more likely to return samples lying close to the
     |      mean, rather than those far away.

     |      obtained from the Lomax distribution by adding 1 and
     |      multiplying by the scale parameter ``m`` (see Notes).  The
     |      smallest value of the Lomax distribution is zero while for the
     |      classical Pareto distribution it is ``mu``, where the standard
     |      Pareto distribution has location ``mu = 1``.  Lomax can also
     |      be considered as a simplified version of the Generalized
     |      Pareto distribution (available in SciPy), with the scale set
     |      to one and the location set to zero.
     |
     |      The Pareto distribution must be greater than zero, and is
     |      unbounded above.  It is also known as the "80-20 rule".  In
     |      this distribution, 80 percent of the weights are in the lowest
     |      20 percent of the range, while the other 20 percent fill the
     |      remaining 80 percent of the range.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      a : float or array_like of floats
     |          Shape of the distribution. Must be positive.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``a`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(a).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Pareto distribution.

     |      Notes

     |      The probability density for the Pareto distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{am^a}{x^{a+1}}
     |
     |      where :math:`a` is the shape and :math:`m` the scale.
     |
     |      The Pareto distribution, named after the Italian economist
     |      Vilfredo Pareto, is a power law probability distribution
     |      useful in many real world problems.  Outside the field of
     |      economics it is generally referred to as the Bradford
     |      distribution. Pareto developed the distribution to describe
     |      the distribution of wealth in an economy.  It has also found
     |      use in insurance, web page access statistics, oil field sizes,
     |      and many other problems, including the download frequency for
     |      projects in Sourceforge [1]_.  It is one of the so-called
     |      "fat-tailed" distributions.

     |  poisson(...)
     |      poisson(lam=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Poisson distribution.
     |
     |      The Poisson distribution is the limit of the binomial distribution
     |      for large N.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      lam : float or array_like of floats
     |          Expectation of interval, must be >= 0. A sequence of expectation
     |          intervals must be broadcastable over the requested size.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``lam`` is a scalar. Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(lam).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Poisson distribution.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The Poisson distribution
     |
     |      .. math:: f(k; \lambda)=\frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}
     |
     |      For events with an expected separation :math:`\lambda` the Poisson
     |      distribution :math:`f(k; \lambda)` describes the probability of
     |      :math:`k` events occurring within the observed
     |      interval :math:`\lambda`.
     |
     |      Because the output is limited to the range of the C int64 type, a
     |      ValueError is raised when `lam` is within 10 sigma of the maximum
     |      representable value.

     |
     |  power(...)

     |
     |      Draws samples in [0, 1] from a power distribution with positive
     |      exponent a - 1.

     |      ----------
     |      a : float or array_like of floats
     |          Parameter of the distribution. Must be non-negative.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),

     |
     |      Returns

     |
     |      Raises
     |      ------
     |      ValueError
     |          If a < 1.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x; a) = ax^{a-1}, 0 \le x \le 1, a>0.
     |
     |      The power function distribution is just the inverse of the Pareto
     |      distribution. It may also be seen as a special case of the Beta
     |      distribution.
     |
     |      It is used, for example, in modeling the over-reporting of insurance
     |      claims.

     |
     |      Results are from the "continuous uniform" distribution over the
     |      stated interval.  To sample :math:`Unif[a, b), b > a` multiply

     |  rayleigh(...)
     |      rayleigh(scale=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Rayleigh distribution.
     |
     |      The :math:`\chi` and Weibull distributions are generalizations of the
     |      Rayleigh.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          Scale, also equals the mode. Must be non-negative. Default is 1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``scale`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Rayleigh distribution.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function for the Rayleigh distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x;scale) = \frac{x}{scale^2}e^{\frac{-x^2}{2 \cdotp scale^2}}
     |
     |      The Rayleigh distribution would arise, for example, if the East
     |      and North components of the wind velocity had identical zero-mean
     |      Gaussian distributions.  Then the wind speed would have a Rayleigh
     |      distribution.

     |
     |  standard_cauchy(...)
     |      standard_cauchy(size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a standard Cauchy distribution with mode = 0.
     |
     |      Also known as the Lorentz distribution.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          single value is returned.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      samples : ndarray or scalar
     |          The drawn samples.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function for the full Cauchy distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x; x_0, \gamma) = \frac{1}{\pi \gamma \bigl[ 1+
     |                (\frac{x-x_0}{\gamma})^2 \bigr] }
     |
     |      and the Standard Cauchy distribution just sets :math:`x_0=0` and
     |      :math:`\gamma=1`
     |
     |      The Cauchy distribution arises in the solution to the driven harmonic
     |      oscillator problem, and also describes spectral line broadening. It
     |      also describes the distribution of values at which a line tilted at
     |      a random angle will cut the x axis.
     |
     |      When studying hypothesis tests that assume normality, seeing how the
     |      tests perform on data from a Cauchy distribution is a good indicator of
     |      their sensitivity to a heavy-tailed distribution, since the Cauchy looks
     |      very much like a Gaussian distribution, but with heavier tails.

     |      with a scale parameter of 1.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then

     |          single value is returned.
     |      dtype : dtype, optional
     |          Desired dtype of the result, only `float64` and `float32` are supported.

     |      method : str, optional
     |          Either 'inv' or 'zig'. 'inv' uses the default inverse CDF method.
     |          'zig' uses the much faster Ziggurat method of Marsaglia and Tsang.
     |      out : ndarray, optional
     |          Alternative output array in which to place the result. If size is not None,
     |          it must have the same shape as the provided size and must match the type of
     |          the output values.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : float or ndarray
     |          Drawn samples.
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Output a 3x8000 array:
     |
     |      >>> n = np.random.default_rng().standard_exponential((3, 8000))
     |
     |  standard_gamma(...)
     |      standard_gamma(shape, size=None, dtype=np.float64, out=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a standard Gamma distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a Gamma distribution with specified parameters,
     |      shape (sometimes designated "k") and scale=1.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      shape : float or array_like of floats
     |          Parameter, must be non-negative.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``shape`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(shape).size`` samples are drawn.
     |      dtype : dtype, optional
     |          Desired dtype of the result, only `float64` and `float32` are supported.
     |          Byteorder must be native. The default value is np.float64.
     |      out : ndarray, optional
     |          Alternative output array in which to place the result. If size is
     |          not None, it must have the same shape as the provided size and
     |          must match the type of the output values.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized standard gamma distribution.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the Gamma distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = x^{k-1}\frac{e^{-x/\theta}}{\theta^k\Gamma(k)},
     |
     |      where :math:`k` is the shape and :math:`\theta` the scale,
     |      and :math:`\Gamma` is the Gamma function.
     |
     |      The Gamma distribution is often used to model the times to failure of
     |      electronic components, and arises naturally in processes for which the
     |      waiting times between Poisson distributed events are relevant.

     |
     |  standard_t(...)

     |
     |      Draw samples from a standard Student's t distribution with `df` degrees
     |      of freedom.
     |
     |      A special case of the hyperbolic distribution.  As `df` gets
     |      large, the result resembles that of the standard normal
     |      distribution (`standard_normal`).
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      df : float or array_like of floats
     |          Degrees of freedom, must be > 0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``df`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(df).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized standard Student's t distribution.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function for the t distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x, df) = \frac{\Gamma(\frac{df+1}{2})}{\sqrt{\pi df}
     |                \Gamma(\frac{df}{2})}\Bigl( 1+\frac{x^2}{df} \Bigr)^{-(df+1)/2}
     |
     |      The t test is based on an assumption that the data come from a
     |      Normal distribution. The t test provides a way to test whether
     |      the sample mean (that is the mean calculated from the data) is
     |      a good estimate of the true mean.
     |
     |      The derivation of the t-distribution was first published in
     |      1908 by William Gosset while working for the Guinness Brewery
     |      in Dublin. Due to proprietary issues, he had to publish under
     |      a pseudonym, and so he used the name Student.

     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      From Dalgaard page 83 [1]_, suppose the daily energy intake for 11
     |      women in kilojoules (kJ) is:
     |
     |      >>> intake = np.array([5260., 5470, 5640, 6180, 6390, 6515, 6805, 7515, \
     |      ...                    7515, 8230, 8770])
     |
     |      Does their energy intake deviate systematically from the recommended
     |      value of 7725 kJ?
     |
     |      We have 10 degrees of freedom, so is the sample mean within 95% of the
     |      recommended value?
     |
     |      >>> s = np.random.default_rng().standard_t(10, size=100000)
     |      >>> np.mean(intake)
     |      6753.636363636364
     |      >>> intake.std(ddof=1)
     |      1142.1232221373727
     |
     |      Calculate the t statistic, setting the ddof parameter to the unbiased
     |      value so the divisor in the standard deviation will be degrees of
     |      freedom, N-1.
     |
     |      >>> t = (np.mean(intake)-7725)/(intake.std(ddof=1)/np.sqrt(len(intake)))
     |      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     |      >>> h = plt.hist(s, bins=100, density=True)
     |
     |      For a one-sided t-test, how far out in the distribution does the t
     |      statistic appear?
     |
     |      >>> np.sum(s<t) / float(len(s))
     |      0.0090699999999999999  #random
     |
     |      So the p-value is about 0.009, which says the null hypothesis has a
     |      probability of about 99% of being true.
     |
     |  triangular(...)
     |      triangular(left, mode, right, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from the triangular distribution over the
     |      interval ``[left, right]``.
     |
     |      The triangular distribution is a continuous probability
     |      distribution with lower limit left, peak at mode, and upper
     |      limit right. Unlike the other distributions, these parameters
     |      directly define the shape of the pdf.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      left : float or array_like of floats
     |          Lower limit.
     |      mode : float or array_like of floats
     |          The value where the peak of the distribution occurs.
     |          The value must fulfill the condition ``left <= mode <= right``.
     |      right : float or array_like of floats
     |          Upper limit, must be larger than `left`.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``left``, ``mode``, and ``right``
     |          are all scalars.  Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(left, mode, right).size``
     |          samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized triangular distribution.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function for the triangular distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x;l, m, r) = \begin{cases}
     |                \frac{2(x-l)}{(r-l)(m-l)}& \text{for $l \leq x \leq m$},\\
     |                \frac{2(r-x)}{(r-l)(r-m)}& \text{for $m \leq x \leq r$},\\
     |                0& \text{otherwise}.
     |                \end{cases}

     |      The triangular distribution is often used in ill-defined
     |      problems where the underlying distribution is not known, but
     |      some knowledge of the limits and mode exists. Often it is used
     |      in simulations.

     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Draw values from the distribution and plot the histogram:
     |
     |      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     |      >>> h = plt.hist(np.random.default_rng().triangular(-3, 0, 8, 100000), bins=200,
     |      ...              density=True)
     |      >>> plt.show()
     |
     |  uniform(...)
     |      uniform(low=0.0, high=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a uniform distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are uniformly distributed over the half-open interval
     |      ``[low, high)`` (includes low, but excludes high).  In other words,
     |      any value within the given interval is equally likely to be drawn
     |      by `uniform`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      low : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          Lower boundary of the output interval.  All values generated will be
     |          greater than or equal to low.  The default value is 0.
     |      high : float or array_like of floats
     |          Upper boundary of the output interval.  All values generated will be
     |          less than high.  The default value is 1.0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``low`` and ``high`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(low, high).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized uniform distribution.

     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function of the uniform distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{1}{b - a}
     |
     |      anywhere within the interval ``[a, b)``, and zero elsewhere.
     |
     |      When ``high`` == ``low``, values of ``low`` will be returned.
     |      If ``high`` < ``low``, the results are officially undefined
     |      and may eventually raise an error, i.e. do not rely on this
     |      function to behave when passed arguments satisfying that
     |      inequality condition.
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Draw samples from the distribution:
     |
     |      >>> s = np.random.default_rng().uniform(-1,0,1000)
     |
     |      All values are within the given interval:
     |
     |      >>> np.all(s >= -1)
     |      True
     |      >>> np.all(s < 0)
     |      True
     |
     |      Display the histogram of the samples, along with the
     |      probability density function:
     |

     |      >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(s, 15, density=True)
     |      >>> plt.plot(bins, np.ones_like(bins), linewidth=2, color='r')
     |      >>> plt.show()
     |
     |  vonmises(...)
     |      vonmises(mu, kappa, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a von Mises distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a von Mises distribution with specified mode
     |      (mu) and dispersion (kappa), on the interval [-pi, pi].
     |
     |      The von Mises distribution (also known as the circular normal
     |      distribution) is a continuous probability distribution on the unit
     |      circle.  It may be thought of as the circular analogue of the normal
     |      distribution.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      mu : float or array_like of floats
     |          Mode ("center") of the distribution.
     |      kappa : float or array_like of floats
     |          Dispersion of the distribution, has to be >=0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``mu`` and ``kappa`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(mu, kappa).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized von Mises distribution.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the von Mises distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{e^{\kappa cos(x-\mu)}}{2\pi I_0(\kappa)},
     |
     |      where :math:`\mu` is the mode and :math:`\kappa` the dispersion,
     |      and :math:`I_0(\kappa)` is the modified Bessel function of order 0.
     |
     |      The von Mises is named for Richard Edler von Mises, who was born in
     |      Austria-Hungary, in what is now the Ukraine.  He fled to the United
     |      States in 1939 and became a professor at Harvard.  He worked in
     |      probability theory, aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, and philosophy of
     |      science.

     |
     |  wald(...)
     |      wald(mean, scale, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Wald, or inverse Gaussian, distribution.
     |
     |      As the scale approaches infinity, the distribution becomes more like a
     |      Gaussian. Some references claim that the Wald is an inverse Gaussian
     |      with mean equal to 1, but this is by no means universal.
     |
     |      The inverse Gaussian distribution was first studied in relationship to
     |      Brownian motion. In 1956 M.C.K. Tweedie used the name inverse Gaussian
     |      because there is an inverse relationship between the time to cover a
     |      unit distance and distance covered in unit time.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      mean : float or array_like of floats
     |          Distribution mean, must be > 0.
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats
     |          Scale parameter, must be > 0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``mean`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(mean, scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Wald distribution.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function for the Wald distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x;mean,scale) = \sqrt{\frac{scale}{2\pi x^3}}e^
     |                                  \frac{-scale(x-mean)^2}{2\cdotp mean^2x}
     |
     |      As noted above the inverse Gaussian distribution first arise
     |      from attempts to model Brownian motion. It is also a
     |      competitor to the Weibull for use in reliability modeling and
     |      modeling stock returns and interest rate processes.

     |  weibull(...)
     |      weibull(a, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Weibull distribution.
     |
     |      Draw samples from a 1-parameter Weibull distribution with the given
     |      shape parameter `a`.
     |
     |      .. math:: X = (-ln(U))^{1/a}
     |
     |      Here, U is drawn from the uniform distribution over (0,1].
     |
     |      The more common 2-parameter Weibull, including a scale parameter
     |      :math:`\lambda` is just :math:`X = \lambda(-ln(U))^{1/a}`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      a : float or array_like of floats
     |          Shape parameter of the distribution.  Must be nonnegative.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``a`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,

     |

     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The Weibull (or Type III asymptotic extreme value distribution
     |      for smallest values, SEV Type III, or Rosin-Rammler
     |      distribution) is one of a class of Generalized Extreme Value
     |      (GEV) distributions used in modeling extreme value problems.
     |      This class includes the Gumbel and Frechet distributions.
     |
     |      The probability density for the Weibull distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{a}
     |                       {\lambda}(\frac{x}{\lambda})^{a-1}e^{-(x/\lambda)^a},
     |
     |      where :math:`a` is the shape and :math:`\lambda` the scale.
     |
     |      The function has its peak (the mode) at
     |      :math:`\lambda(\frac{a-1}{a})^{1/a}`.
     |
     |      When ``a = 1``, the Weibull distribution reduces to the exponential
     |      distribution.

     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a Zipf distribution with specified parameter
     |      `a` > 1.
     |
     |      The Zipf distribution (also known as the zeta distribution) is a
     |      continuous probability distribution that satisfies Zipf's law: the
     |      frequency of an item is inversely proportional to its rank in a
     |      frequency table.

     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      a : float or array_like of floats
     |          Distribution parameter. Must be greater than 1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``a`` is a scalar. Otherwise,

     |  lock: threading.Lock
     |      Lock instance that is shared so that the same bit git generator can
     |      be used in multiple Generators without corrupting the state. Code that
     |      generates values from a bit generator should hold the bit generator's
     |      lock.
     |
     |  Notes
     |  -----
     |  ``MT19937`` provides a capsule containing function pointers that produce
     |  doubles, and unsigned 32 and 64- bit integers [1]_. These are not
     |  directly consumable in Python and must be consumed by a ``Generator``
     |  or similar object that supports low-level access.
     |
     |  The Python stdlib module "random" also contains a Mersenne Twister
     |  pseudo-random number generator.
     |
     |  **State and Seeding**
     |
     |  The ``MT19937`` state vector consists of a 624-element array of
     |  32-bit unsigned integers plus a single integer value between 0 and 624
     |  that indexes the current position within the main array.
     |
     |  The input seed is processed by `SeedSequence` to fill the whole state. The
     |  first element is reset such that only its most significant bit is set.
     |
     |  **Parallel Features**
     |
     |  The preferred way to use a BitGenerator in parallel applications is to use
     |  the `SeedSequence.spawn` method to obtain entropy values, and to use these
     |  to generate new BitGenerators:
     |
     |  >>> from numpy.random import Generator, MT19937, SeedSequence
     |  >>> sg = SeedSequence(1234)
     |  >>> rg = [Generator(MT19937(s)) for s in sg.spawn(10)]
     |
     |  Another method is to use `MT19937.jumped` which advances the state as-if
     |  :math:`2^{128}` random numbers have been generated ([1]_, [2]_). This
     |  allows the original sequence to be split so that distinct segments can be
     |  used in each worker process. All generators should be chained to ensure
     |  that the segments come from the same sequence.
     |
     |  >>> from numpy.random import Generator, MT19937, SeedSequence
     |  >>> sg = SeedSequence(1234)
     |  >>> bit_generator = MT19937(sg)
     |  >>> rg = []
     |  >>> for _ in range(10):
     |  ...    rg.append(Generator(bit_generator))
     |  ...    # Chain the BitGenerators
     |  ...    bit_generator = bit_generator.jumped()
     |
     |  **Compatibility Guarantee**
     |
     |  ``MT19937`` makes a guarantee that a fixed seed and will always produce
     |  the same random integer stream.

    class PCG64(numpy.random.bit_generator.BitGenerator)
     |  PCG64(seed=None)
     |
     |  BitGenerator for the PCG-64 pseudo-random number generator.
     |
     |  Parameters
     |  ----------
     |  seed : {None, int, array_like[ints], SeedSequence}, optional
     |      A seed to initialize the `BitGenerator`. If None, then fresh,
     |      unpredictable entropy will be pulled from the OS. If an ``int`` or
     |      ``array_like[ints]`` is passed, then it will be passed to
     |      `SeedSequence` to derive the initial `BitGenerator` state. One may also
     |      pass in a `SeedSequence` instance.
     |
     |  Notes
     |  -----
     |  PCG-64 is a 128-bit implementation of O'Neill's permutation congruential
     |  generator ([1]_, [2]_). PCG-64 has a period of :math:`2^{128}` and supports
     |  advancing an arbitrary number of steps as well as :math:`2^{127}` streams.
     |  The specific member of the PCG family that we use is PCG XSL RR 128/64
     |  as described in the paper ([2]_).
     |
     |  ``PCG64`` provides a capsule containing function pointers that produce
     |  doubles, and unsigned 32 and 64- bit integers. These are not
     |  directly consumable in Python and must be consumed by a ``Generator``
     |  or similar object that supports low-level access.
     |
     |  Supports the method :meth:`advance` to advance the RNG an arbitrary number of
     |  steps. The state of the PCG-64 RNG is represented by 2 128-bit unsigned
     |  integers.
     |
     |  **State and Seeding**
     |
     |  The ``PCG64`` state vector consists of 2 unsigned 128-bit values,
     |  which are represented externally as Python ints. One is the state of the
     |  PRNG, which is advanced by a linear congruential generator (LCG). The
     |  second is a fixed odd increment used in the LCG.
     |
     |  The input seed is processed by `SeedSequence` to generate both values. The
     |  increment is not independently settable.
     |
     |  **Parallel Features**
     |
     |  The preferred way to use a BitGenerator in parallel applications is to use
     |  the `SeedSequence.spawn` method to obtain entropy values, and to use these
     |  to generate new BitGenerators:
     |
     |  >>> from numpy.random import Generator, PCG64, SeedSequence
     |  >>> sg = SeedSequence(1234)
     |  >>> rg = [Generator(PCG64(s)) for s in sg.spawn(10)]
     |
     |  **Compatibility Guarantee**
     |
     |  ``PCG64`` makes a guarantee that a fixed seed and will always produce
     |  the same random integer stream.

     |      ----------

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      Advancing a RNG updates the underlying RNG state as-if a given
     |      number of calls to the underlying RNG have been made. In general
     |      there is not a one-to-one relationship between the number output
     |      random values from a particular distribution and the number of
     |      draws from the core RNG.  This occurs for two reasons:
     |
     |      * The random values are simulated using a rejection-based method
     |        and so, on average, more than one value from the underlying
     |        RNG is required to generate an single draw.
     |      * The number of bits required to generate a simulated value
     |        differs from the number of bits generated by the underlying
     |        RNG.  For example, two 16-bit integer values can be simulated
     |        from a single draw of a 32-bit RNG.
     |
     |      Advancing the RNG state resets any pre-computed random numbers.
     |      This is required to ensure exact reproducibility.

     |
     |  Container for the Philox (4x64) pseudo-random number generator.
     |
     |  Parameters
     |  ----------
     |  seed : {None, int, array_like[ints], SeedSequence}, optional
     |      A seed to initialize the `BitGenerator`. If None, then fresh,
     |      unpredictable entropy will be pulled from the OS. If an ``int`` or

     |      pass in a `SeedSequence` instance.
     |  counter : {None, int, array_like}, optional
     |      Counter to use in the Philox state. Can be either
     |      a Python int (long in 2.x) in [0, 2**256) or a 4-element uint64 array.
     |      If not provided, the RNG is initialized at 0.
     |  key : {None, int, array_like}, optional
     |      Key to use in the Philox state.  Unlike ``seed``, the value in key is
     |      directly set. Can be either a Python int in [0, 2**128) or a 2-element
     |      uint64 array. `key` and ``seed`` cannot both be used.
     |
     |  Attributes
     |  ----------
     |  lock: threading.Lock
     |      Lock instance that is shared so that the same bit git generator can
     |      be used in multiple Generators without corrupting the state. Code that

     |  Philox is a 64-bit PRNG that uses a counter-based design based on weaker
     |  (and faster) versions of cryptographic functions [1]_. Instances using
     |  different values of the key produce independent sequences.  Philox has a
     |  period of :math:`2^{256} - 1` and supports arbitrary advancing and jumping
     |  the sequence in increments of :math:`2^{128}`. These features allow
     |  multiple non-overlapping sequences to be generated.
     |
     |  ``Philox`` provides a capsule containing function pointers that produce
     |  doubles, and unsigned 32 and 64- bit integers. These are not
     |  directly consumable in Python and must be consumed by a ``Generator``
     |  or similar object that supports low-level access.
     |
     |  **State and Seeding**
     |
     |  The ``Philox`` state vector consists of a 256-bit value encoded as
     |  a 4-element uint64 array and a 128-bit value encoded as a 2-element uint64
     |  array. The former is a counter which is incremented by 1 for every 4 64-bit
     |  randoms produced. The second is a key which determined the sequence
     |  produced. Using different keys produces independent sequences.
     |
     |  The input ``seed`` is processed by `SeedSequence` to generate the key. The
     |  counter is set to 0.
     |
     |  Alternately, one can omit the ``seed`` parameter and set the ``key`` and
     |  ``counter`` directly.
     |
     |  **Parallel Features**
     |
     |  The preferred way to use a BitGenerator in parallel applications is to use
     |  the `SeedSequence.spawn` method to obtain entropy values, and to use these
     |  to generate new BitGenerators:
     |
     |  >>> from numpy.random import Generator, Philox, SeedSequence
     |  >>> sg = SeedSequence(1234)
     |  >>> rg = [Generator(Philox(s)) for s in sg.spawn(10)]
     |
     |  ``Philox`` can be used in parallel applications by calling the ``jumped``
     |  method  to advances the state as-if :math:`2^{128}` random numbers have
     |  been generated. Alternatively, ``advance`` can be used to advance the
     |  counter for any positive step in [0, 2**256). When using ``jumped``, all
     |  generators should be chained to ensure that the segments come from the same
     |  sequence.
     |
     |  >>> from numpy.random import Generator, Philox
     |  >>> bit_generator = Philox(1234)
     |  >>> rg = []
     |  >>> for _ in range(10):
     |  ...    rg.append(Generator(bit_generator))
     |  ...    bit_generator = bit_generator.jumped()
     |
     |  Alternatively, ``Philox`` can be used in parallel applications by using
     |  a sequence of distinct keys where each instance uses different key.
     |
     |  >>> key = 2**96 + 2**33 + 2**17 + 2**9
     |  >>> rg = [Generator(Philox(key=key+i)) for i in range(10)]
     |
     |  **Compatibility Guarantee**
     |
     |  ``Philox`` makes a guarantee that a fixed ``seed`` will always produce
     |  the same random integer stream.
     |
     |  Examples
     |  --------
     |  >>> from numpy.random import Generator, Philox
     |  >>> rg = Generator(Philox(1234))
     |  >>> rg.standard_normal()
     |  0.123  # random

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      Advancing a RNG updates the underlying RNG state as-if a given
     |      number of calls to the underlying RNG have been made. In general
     |      there is not a one-to-one relationship between the number output
     |      random values from a particular distribution and the number of
     |      draws from the core RNG.  This occurs for two reasons:
     |
     |      * The random values are simulated using a rejection-based method
     |        and so, on average, more than one value from the underlying
     |        RNG is required to generate an single draw.
     |      * The number of bits required to generate a simulated value
     |        differs from the number of bits generated by the underlying
     |        RNG.  For example, two 16-bit integer values can be simulated
     |        from a single draw of a 32-bit RNG.
     |
     |      Advancing the RNG state resets any pre-computed random numbers.
     |      This is required to ensure exact reproducibility.

     |
     |  Container for the slow Mersenne Twister pseudo-random number generator.
     |  Consider using a different BitGenerator with the Generator container
     |  instead.
     |
     |  `RandomState` and `Generator` expose a number of methods for generating
     |  random numbers drawn from a variety of probability distributions. In
     |  addition to the distribution-specific arguments, each method takes a
     |  keyword argument `size` that defaults to ``None``. If `size` is ``None``,
     |  then a single value is generated and returned. If `size` is an integer,
     |  then a 1-D array filled with generated values is returned. If `size` is a
     |  tuple, then an array with that shape is filled and returned.
     |
     |  **Compatibility Guarantee**
     |
     |  A fixed bit generator using a fixed seed and a fixed series of calls to
     |  'RandomState' methods using the same parameters will always produce the
     |  same results up to roundoff error except when the values were incorrect.
     |  `RandomState` is effectively frozen and will only receive updates that
     |  are required by changes in the the internals of Numpy. More substantial
     |  changes, including algorithmic improvements, are reserved for
     |  `Generator`.
     |
     |  Parameters
     |  ----------
     |  seed : {None, int, array_like, BitGenerator}, optional
     |      Random seed used to initialize the pseudo-random number generator or
     |      an instantized BitGenerator.  If an integer or array, used as a seed for
     |      the MT19937 BitGenerator. Values can be any integer between 0 and
     |      2**32 - 1 inclusive, an array (or other sequence) of such integers,
     |      or ``None`` (the default).  If `seed` is ``None``, then the `MT19937`
     |      BitGenerator is initialized by reading data from ``/dev/urandom``
     |      (or the Windows analogue) if available or seed from the clock
     |      otherwise.
     |
     |  Notes
     |  -----
     |  The Python stdlib module "random" also contains a Mersenne Twister
     |  pseudo-random number generator with a number of methods that are similar
     |  to the ones available in `RandomState`. `RandomState`, besides being
     |  NumPy-aware, has the advantage that it provides a much larger number
     |  of probability distributions to choose from.

     |  beta(...)
     |      beta(a, b, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Beta distribution.
     |
     |      The Beta distribution is a special case of the Dirichlet distribution,
     |      and is related to the Gamma distribution.  It has the probability
     |      distribution function
     |
     |      .. math:: f(x; a,b) = \frac{1}{B(\alpha, \beta)} x^{\alpha - 1}
     |                                                       (1 - x)^{\beta - 1},
     |
     |      where the normalization, B, is the beta function,
     |
     |      .. math:: B(\alpha, \beta) = \int_0^1 t^{\alpha - 1}
     |                                   (1 - t)^{\beta - 1} dt.
     |
     |      It is often seen in Bayesian inference and order statistics.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``beta`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      a : float or array_like of floats
     |          Alpha, positive (>0).
     |      b : float or array_like of floats
     |          Beta, positive (>0).
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``a`` and ``b`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(a, b).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized beta distribution.

     |
     |  binomial(...)
     |      binomial(n, p, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a binomial distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a binomial distribution with specified
     |      parameters, n trials and p probability of success where
     |      n an integer >= 0 and p is in the interval [0,1]. (n may be
     |      input as a float, but it is truncated to an integer in use)
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``binomial`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      n : int or array_like of ints
     |          Parameter of the distribution, >= 0. Floats are also accepted,
     |          but they will be truncated to integers.
     |      p : float or array_like of floats
     |          Parameter of the distribution, >= 0 and <=1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``n`` and ``p`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(n, p).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized binomial distribution, where
     |          each sample is equal to the number of successes over the n trials.
     |
     |      See Also

     |      scipy.stats.binom : probability density function, distribution or
     |          cumulative density function, etc.
     |      Generator.binomial: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the binomial distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(N) = \binom{n}{N}p^N(1-p)^{n-N},
     |
     |      where :math:`n` is the number of trials, :math:`p` is the probability
     |      of success, and :math:`N` is the number of successes.
     |
     |      When estimating the standard error of a proportion in a population by
     |      using a random sample, the normal distribution works well unless the
     |      product p*n <=5, where p = population proportion estimate, and n =
     |      number of samples, in which case the binomial distribution is used
     |      instead. For example, a sample of 15 people shows 4 who are left
     |      handed, and 11 who are right handed. Then p = 4/15 = 27%. 0.27*15 = 4,
     |      so the binomial distribution should be used in this case.

     |  chisquare(...)
     |      chisquare(df, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a chi-square distribution.
     |
     |      When `df` independent random variables, each with standard normal
     |      distributions (mean 0, variance 1), are squared and summed, the
     |      resulting distribution is chi-square (see Notes).  This distribution
     |      is often used in hypothesis testing.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``chisquare`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      df : float or array_like of floats
     |           Number of degrees of freedom, must be > 0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``df`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(df).size`` samples are drawn.

     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      a : 1-D array-like or int
     |          If an ndarray, a random sample is generated from its elements.

     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          single value is returned.
     |      replace : boolean, optional
     |          Whether the sample is with or without replacement
     |      p : 1-D array-like, optional
     |          The probabilities associated with each entry in a.
     |          If not given the sample assumes a uniform distribution over all

     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      Sampling random rows from a 2-D array is not possible with this function,
     |      but is possible with `Generator.choice` through its ``axis`` keyword.
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Generate a uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size 3:
     |
     |      >>> np.random.choice(5, 3)
     |      array([0, 3, 4]) # random
     |      >>> #This is equivalent to np.random.randint(0,5,3)
     |
     |      Generate a non-uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size 3:
     |
     |      >>> np.random.choice(5, 3, p=[0.1, 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0])
     |      array([3, 3, 0]) # random
     |
     |      Generate a uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size 3 without
     |      replacement:
     |
     |      >>> np.random.choice(5, 3, replace=False)
     |      array([3,1,0]) # random
     |      >>> #This is equivalent to np.random.permutation(np.arange(5))[:3]
     |
     |      Generate a non-uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size
     |      3 without replacement:
     |
     |      >>> np.random.choice(5, 3, replace=False, p=[0.1, 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0])
     |      array([2, 3, 0]) # random
     |
     |      Any of the above can be repeated with an arbitrary array-like
     |      instead of just integers. For instance:
     |
     |      >>> aa_milne_arr = ['pooh', 'rabbit', 'piglet', 'Christopher']
     |      >>> np.random.choice(aa_milne_arr, 5, p=[0.5, 0.1, 0.1, 0.3])
     |      array(['pooh', 'pooh', 'pooh', 'Christopher', 'piglet'], # random

     |  dirichlet(...)
     |      dirichlet(alpha, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from the Dirichlet distribution.
     |
     |      Draw `size` samples of dimension k from a Dirichlet distribution. A
     |      Dirichlet-distributed random variable can be seen as a multivariate
     |      generalization of a Beta distribution. The Dirichlet distribution
     |      is a conjugate prior of a multinomial distribution in Bayesian
     |      inference.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``dirichlet`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      alpha : sequence of floats, length k
     |          Parameter of the distribution (length ``k`` for sample of
     |          length ``k``).
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          vector of length ``k`` is returned.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      samples : ndarray,
     |          The drawn samples, of shape ``(size, k)``.
     |
     |      Raises
     |      -------
     |      ValueError
     |          If any value in ``alpha`` is less than or equal to zero
     |
     |      See Also

     |      Generator.dirichlet: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The Dirichlet distribution is a distribution over vectors
     |      :math:`x` that fulfil the conditions :math:`x_i>0` and
     |      :math:`\sum_{i=1}^k x_i = 1`.
     |
     |      The probability density function :math:`p` of a
     |      Dirichlet-distributed random vector :math:`X` is
     |      proportional to
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) \propto \prod_{i=1}^{k}{x^{\alpha_i-1}_i},
     |
     |      where :math:`\alpha` is a vector containing the positive
     |      concentration parameters.
     |
     |      The method uses the following property for computation: let :math:`Y`
     |      be a random vector which has components that follow a standard gamma
     |      distribution, then :math:`X = \frac{1}{\sum_{i=1}^k{Y_i}} Y`
     |      is Dirichlet-distributed

     |  exponential(...)
     |      exponential(scale=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from an exponential distribution.
     |
     |      Its probability density function is
     |
     |      .. math:: f(x; \frac{1}{\beta}) = \frac{1}{\beta} \exp(-\frac{x}{\beta}),
     |
     |      for ``x > 0`` and 0 elsewhere. :math:`\beta` is the scale parameter,
     |      which is the inverse of the rate parameter :math:`\lambda = 1/\beta`.
     |      The rate parameter is an alternative, widely used parameterization
     |      of the exponential distribution [3]_.
     |
     |      The exponential distribution is a continuous analogue of the
     |      geometric distribution.  It describes many common situations, such as
     |      the size of raindrops measured over many rainstorms [1]_, or the time
     |      between page requests to Wikipedia [2]_.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``exponential`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats
     |          The scale parameter, :math:`\beta = 1/\lambda`. Must be
     |          non-negative.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``scale`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------

     |  f(...)
     |      f(dfnum, dfden, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from an F distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from an F distribution with specified parameters,
     |      `dfnum` (degrees of freedom in numerator) and `dfden` (degrees of
     |      freedom in denominator), where both parameters must be greater than
     |      zero.
     |
     |      The random variate of the F distribution (also known as the
     |      Fisher distribution) is a continuous probability distribution
     |      that arises in ANOVA tests, and is the ratio of two chi-square
     |      variates.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``f`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      dfnum : float or array_like of floats
     |          Degrees of freedom in numerator, must be > 0.
     |      dfden : float or array_like of float
     |          Degrees of freedom in denominator, must be > 0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``dfnum`` and ``dfden`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(dfnum, dfden).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Fisher distribution.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The F statistic is used to compare in-group variances to between-group
     |      variances. Calculating the distribution depends on the sampling, and
     |      so it is a function of the respective degrees of freedom in the
     |      problem.  The variable `dfnum` is the number of samples minus one, the
     |      between-groups degrees of freedom, while `dfden` is the within-groups
     |      degrees of freedom, the sum of the number of samples in each group
     |      minus the number of groups.

     |             https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-distribution
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      An example from Glantz[1], pp 47-40:
     |
     |      Two groups, children of diabetics (25 people) and children from people
     |      without diabetes (25 controls). Fasting blood glucose was measured,
     |      case group had a mean value of 86.1, controls had a mean value of
     |      82.2. Standard deviations were 2.09 and 2.49 respectively. Are these
     |      data consistent with the null hypothesis that the parents diabetic
     |      status does not affect their children's blood glucose levels?
     |      Calculating the F statistic from the data gives a value of 36.01.
     |
     |      Draw samples from the distribution:
     |
     |      >>> dfnum = 1. # between group degrees of freedom
     |      >>> dfden = 48. # within groups degrees of freedom
     |      >>> s = np.random.f(dfnum, dfden, 1000)
     |
     |      The lower bound for the top 1% of the samples is :
     |
     |      >>> np.sort(s)[-10]
     |      7.61988120985 # random
     |
     |      So there is about a 1% chance that the F statistic will exceed 7.62,
     |      the measured value is 36, so the null hypothesis is rejected at the 1%
     |      level.
     |
     |  gamma(...)
     |      gamma(shape, scale=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Gamma distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a Gamma distribution with specified parameters,
     |      `shape` (sometimes designated "k") and `scale` (sometimes designated
     |      "theta"), where both parameters are > 0.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``gamma`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      shape : float or array_like of floats
     |          The shape of the gamma distribution. Must be non-negative.
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          The scale of the gamma distribution. Must be non-negative.
     |          Default is equal to 1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional

     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the Gamma distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = x^{k-1}\frac{e^{-x/\theta}}{\theta^k\Gamma(k)},
     |
     |      where :math:`k` is the shape and :math:`\theta` the scale,
     |      and :math:`\Gamma` is the Gamma function.
     |
     |      The Gamma distribution is often used to model the times to failure of
     |      electronic components, and arises naturally in processes for which the
     |      waiting times between Poisson distributed events are relevant.

     |  geometric(...)
     |      geometric(p, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from the geometric distribution.
     |
     |      Bernoulli trials are experiments with one of two outcomes:
     |      success or failure (an example of such an experiment is flipping
     |      a coin).  The geometric distribution models the number of trials
     |      that must be run in order to achieve success.  It is therefore
     |      supported on the positive integers, ``k = 1, 2, ...``.
     |
     |      The probability mass function of the geometric distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: f(k) = (1 - p)^{k - 1} p
     |
     |      where `p` is the probability of success of an individual trial.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``geometric`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      p : float or array_like of floats
     |          The probability of success of an individual trial.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``p`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(p).size`` samples are drawn.

     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      legacy : bool, optional
     |          Flag indicating to return a legacy tuple state when the BitGenerator
     |          is MT19937, instead of a dict.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : {tuple(str, ndarray of 624 uints, int, int, float), dict}
     |          The returned tuple has the following items:
     |
     |          1. the string 'MT19937'.
     |          2. a 1-D array of 624 unsigned integer keys.

     |          4. an integer ``has_gauss``.
     |          5. a float ``cached_gaussian``.
     |
     |          If `legacy` is False, or the BitGenerator is not MT19937, then
     |          state is returned as a dictionary.

     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The Gumbel (or Smallest Extreme Value (SEV) or the Smallest Extreme
     |      Value Type I) distribution is one of a class of Generalized Extreme
     |      Value (GEV) distributions used in modeling extreme value problems.
     |      The Gumbel is a special case of the Extreme Value Type I distribution
     |      for maximums from distributions with "exponential-like" tails.
     |
     |      The probability density for the Gumbel distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{e^{-(x - \mu)/ \beta}}{\beta} e^{ -e^{-(x - \mu)/
     |                \beta}},
     |
     |      where :math:`\mu` is the mode, a location parameter, and
     |      :math:`\beta` is the scale parameter.
     |
     |      The Gumbel (named for German mathematician Emil Julius Gumbel) was used
     |      very early in the hydrology literature, for modeling the occurrence of
     |      flood events. It is also used for modeling maximum wind speed and
     |      rainfall rates.  It is a "fat-tailed" distribution - the probability of
     |      an event in the tail of the distribution is larger than if one used a
     |      Gaussian, hence the surprisingly frequent occurrence of 100-year
     |      floods. Floods were initially modeled as a Gaussian process, which
     |      underestimated the frequency of extreme events.
     |
     |      It is one of a class of extreme value distributions, the Generalized
     |      Extreme Value (GEV) distributions, which also includes the Weibull and
     |      Frechet.
     |
     |      The function has a mean of :math:`\mu + 0.57721\beta` and a variance
     |      of :math:`\frac{\pi^2}{6}\beta^2`.

     |  hypergeometric(...)
     |      hypergeometric(ngood, nbad, nsample, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Hypergeometric distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a hypergeometric distribution with specified
     |      parameters, `ngood` (ways to make a good selection), `nbad` (ways to make
     |      a bad selection), and `nsample` (number of items sampled, which is less
     |      than or equal to the sum ``ngood + nbad``).
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``hypergeometric`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      ngood : int or array_like of ints
     |          Number of ways to make a good selection.  Must be nonnegative.
     |      nbad : int or array_like of ints
     |          Number of ways to make a bad selection.  Must be nonnegative.
     |      nsample : int or array_like of ints
     |          Number of items sampled.  Must be at least 1 and at most
     |          ``ngood + nbad``.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if `ngood`, `nbad`, and `nsample`
     |          are all scalars.  Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(ngood, nbad, nsample).size``
     |          samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized hypergeometric distribution. Each
     |          sample is the number of good items within a randomly selected subset of
     |          size `nsample` taken from a set of `ngood` good items and `nbad` bad items.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the Hypergeometric distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x) = \frac{\binom{g}{x}\binom{b}{n-x}}{\binom{g+b}{n}},
     |
     |      where :math:`0 \le x \le n` and :math:`n-b \le x \le g`
     |
     |      for P(x) the probability of ``x`` good results in the drawn sample,
     |      g = `ngood`, b = `nbad`, and n = `nsample`.
     |
     |      Consider an urn with black and white marbles in it, `ngood` of them
     |      are black and `nbad` are white. If you draw `nsample` balls without
     |      replacement, then the hypergeometric distribution describes the
     |      distribution of black balls in the drawn sample.
     |
     |      Note that this distribution is very similar to the binomial
     |      distribution, except that in this case, samples are drawn without
     |      replacement, whereas in the Binomial case samples are drawn with
     |      replacement (or the sample space is infinite). As the sample space
     |      becomes large, this distribution approaches the binomial.

     |  laplace(...)

     |
     |      Draw samples from the Laplace or double exponential distribution with

     |
     |      The Laplace distribution is similar to the Gaussian/normal distribution,
     |      but is sharper at the peak and has fatter tails. It represents the
     |      difference between two independent, identically distributed exponential
     |      random variables.

     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      loc : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          The position, :math:`\mu`, of the distribution peak. Default is 0.
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          :math:`\lambda`, the exponential decay. Default is 1. Must be non-
     |          negative.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``loc`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(loc, scale).size`` samples are drawn.

     |      The first law of Laplace, from 1774, states that the frequency
     |      of an error can be expressed as an exponential function of the
     |      absolute magnitude of the error, which leads to the Laplace
     |      distribution. For many problems in economics and health
     |      sciences, this distribution seems to model the data better
     |      than the standard Gaussian distribution.

     |  logistic(...)
     |      logistic(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a logistic distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a logistic distribution with specified
     |      parameters, loc (location or mean, also median), and scale (>0).
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``logistic`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      loc : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          Parameter of the distribution. Default is 0.
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          Parameter of the distribution. Must be non-negative.
     |          Default is 1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``loc`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(loc, scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized logistic distribution.

     |      Notes

     |      The probability density for the Logistic distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x) = P(x) = \frac{e^{-(x-\mu)/s}}{s(1+e^{-(x-\mu)/s})^2},
     |
     |      where :math:`\mu` = location and :math:`s` = scale.
     |
     |      The Logistic distribution is used in Extreme Value problems where it
     |      can act as a mixture of Gumbel distributions, in Epidemiology, and by
     |      the World Chess Federation (FIDE) where it is used in the Elo ranking
     |      system, assuming the performance of each player is a logistically
     |      distributed random variable.

     |      standard deviation, and array shape.  Note that the mean and standard
     |      deviation are not the values for the distribution itself, but of the

     |          non-negative. Default is 1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``mean`` and ``sigma`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(mean, sigma).size`` samples are drawn.

     |      Returns

     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      A variable `x` has a log-normal distribution if `log(x)` is normally
     |      distributed.  The probability density function for the log-normal
     |      distribution is:
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma x \sqrt{2\pi}}
     |                       e^{(-\frac{(ln(x)-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2})}
     |
     |      where :math:`\mu` is the mean and :math:`\sigma` is the standard
     |      deviation of the normally distributed logarithm of the variable.
     |      A log-normal distribution results if a random variable is the *product*
     |      of a large number of independent, identically-distributed variables in
     |      the same way that a normal distribution results if the variable is the
     |      *sum* of a large number of independent, identically-distributed
     |      variables.

     |  multinomial(...)
     |      multinomial(n, pvals, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a multinomial distribution.
     |
     |      The multinomial distribution is a multivariate generalization of the
     |      binomial distribution.  Take an experiment with one of ``p``
     |      possible outcomes.  An example of such an experiment is throwing a dice,
     |      where the outcome can be 1 through 6.  Each sample drawn from the
     |      distribution represents `n` such experiments.  Its values,
     |      ``X_i = [X_0, X_1, ..., X_p]``, represent the number of times the
     |      outcome was ``i``.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``multinomial`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      n : int
     |          Number of experiments.
     |      pvals : sequence of floats, length p
     |          Probabilities of each of the ``p`` different outcomes.  These
     |          must sum to 1 (however, the last element is always assumed to
     |          account for the remaining probability, as long as
     |          ``sum(pvals[:-1]) <= 1)``.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          single value is returned.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray
     |          The drawn samples, of shape *size*, if that was provided.  If not,
     |          the shape is ``(N,)``.
     |
     |          In other words, each entry ``out[i,j,...,:]`` is an N-dimensional
     |          value drawn from the distribution.

     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Throw a dice 20 times:
     |
     |      >>> np.random.multinomial(20, [1/6.]*6, size=1)
     |      array([[4, 1, 7, 5, 2, 1]]) # random
     |
     |      It landed 4 times on 1, once on 2, etc.
     |
     |      Now, throw the dice 20 times, and 20 times again:
     |
     |      >>> np.random.multinomial(20, [1/6.]*6, size=2)
     |      array([[3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 3], # random
     |             [2, 4, 3, 4, 0, 7]])
     |
     |      For the first run, we threw 3 times 1, 4 times 2, etc.  For the second,
     |      we threw 2 times 1, 4 times 2, etc.
     |
     |      A loaded die is more likely to land on number 6:
     |
     |      >>> np.random.multinomial(100, [1/7.]*5 + [2/7.])
     |      array([11, 16, 14, 17, 16, 26]) # random
     |
     |      The probability inputs should be normalized. As an implementation
     |      detail, the value of the last entry is ignored and assumed to take
     |      up any leftover probability mass, but this should not be relied on.
     |      A biased coin which has twice as much weight on one side as on the
     |      other should be sampled like so:
     |
     |      >>> np.random.multinomial(100, [1.0 / 3, 2.0 / 3])  # RIGHT
     |      array([38, 62]) # random
     |

     |  multivariate_normal(...)
     |      multivariate_normal(mean, cov, size=None, check_valid='warn', tol=1e-8)
     |
     |      Draw random samples from a multivariate normal distribution.
     |
     |      The multivariate normal, multinormal or Gaussian distribution is a
     |      generalization of the one-dimensional normal distribution to higher
     |      dimensions.  Such a distribution is specified by its mean and
     |      covariance matrix.  These parameters are analogous to the mean
     |      (average or "center") and variance (standard deviation, or "width,"
     |      squared) of the one-dimensional normal distribution.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``multivariate_normal`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      mean : 1-D array_like, of length N
     |          Mean of the N-dimensional distribution.
     |      cov : 2-D array_like, of shape (N, N)
     |          Covariance matrix of the distribution. It must be symmetric and
     |          positive-semidefinite for proper sampling.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Given a shape of, for example, ``(m,n,k)``, ``m*n*k`` samples are
     |          generated, and packed in an `m`-by-`n`-by-`k` arrangement.  Because
     |          each sample is `N`-dimensional, the output shape is ``(m,n,k,N)``.
     |          If no shape is specified, a single (`N`-D) sample is returned.
     |      check_valid : { 'warn', 'raise', 'ignore' }, optional
     |          Behavior when the covariance matrix is not positive semidefinite.
     |      tol : float, optional
     |          Tolerance when checking the singular values in covariance matrix.
     |          cov is cast to double before the check.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray
     |          The drawn samples, of shape *size*, if that was provided.  If not,
     |          the shape is ``(N,)``.
     |
     |          In other words, each entry ``out[i,j,...,:]`` is an N-dimensional
     |          value drawn from the distribution.
     |
     |      See Also
     |      --------
     |      Generator.multivariate_normal: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The mean is a coordinate in N-dimensional space, which represents the
     |      location where samples are most likely to be generated.  This is
     |      analogous to the peak of the bell curve for the one-dimensional or
     |      univariate normal distribution.
     |
     |      Covariance indicates the level to which two variables vary together.
     |      From the multivariate normal distribution, we draw N-dimensional
     |      samples, :math:`X = [x_1, x_2, ... x_N]`.  The covariance matrix
     |      element :math:`C_{ij}` is the covariance of :math:`x_i` and :math:`x_j`.
     |      The element :math:`C_{ii}` is the variance of :math:`x_i` (i.e. its
     |      "spread").
     |
     |      Instead of specifying the full covariance matrix, popular
     |      approximations include:
     |
     |        - Spherical covariance (`cov` is a multiple of the identity matrix)
     |        - Diagonal covariance (`cov` has non-negative elements, and only on
     |          the diagonal)
     |
     |      This geometrical property can be seen in two dimensions by plotting
     |      generated data-points:
     |
     |      >>> mean = [0, 0]
     |      >>> cov = [[1, 0], [0, 100]]  # diagonal covariance
     |
     |      Diagonal covariance means that points are oriented along x or y-axis:
     |
     |      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     |      >>> x, y = np.random.multivariate_normal(mean, cov, 5000).T
     |      >>> plt.plot(x, y, 'x')
     |      >>> plt.axis('equal')
     |      >>> plt.show()
     |
     |      Note that the covariance matrix must be positive semidefinite (a.k.a.
     |      nonnegative-definite). Otherwise, the behavior of this method is
     |      undefined and backwards compatibility is not guaranteed.

     |  negative_binomial(...)
     |      negative_binomial(n, p, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a negative binomial distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a negative binomial distribution with specified
     |      parameters, `n` successes and `p` probability of success where `n`
     |      is > 0 and `p` is in the interval [0, 1].

     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      n : float or array_like of floats
     |          Parameter of the distribution, > 0.
     |      p : float or array_like of floats
     |          Parameter of the distribution, >= 0 and <=1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``n`` and ``p`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(n, p).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized negative binomial distribution,
     |          where each sample is equal to N, the number of failures that
     |          occurred before a total of n successes was reached.
     |

     |      Generator.negative_binomial: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability mass function of the negative binomial distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(N;n,p) = \frac{\Gamma(N+n)}{N!\Gamma(n)}p^{n}(1-p)^{N},
     |
     |      where :math:`n` is the number of successes, :math:`p` is the
     |      probability of success, :math:`N+n` is the number of trials, and
     |      :math:`\Gamma` is the gamma function. When :math:`n` is an integer,
     |      :math:`\frac{\Gamma(N+n)}{N!\Gamma(n)} = \binom{N+n-1}{N}`, which is
     |      the more common form of this term in the the pmf. The negative
     |      binomial distribution gives the probability of N failures given n
     |      successes, with a success on the last trial.
     |
     |      If one throws a die repeatedly until the third time a "1" appears,
     |      then the probability distribution of the number of non-"1"s that
     |      appear before the third "1" is a negative binomial distribution.

     |      When calculating the power of an experiment (power = probability of
     |      rejecting the null hypothesis when a specific alternative is true) the
     |      non-central F statistic becomes important.  When the null hypothesis is
     |      true, the F statistic follows a central F distribution. When the null
     |      hypothesis is not true, then it follows a non-central F statistic.

     |  normal(...)
     |      normal(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw random samples from a normal (Gaussian) distribution.
     |
     |      The probability density function of the normal distribution, first
     |      derived by De Moivre and 200 years later by both Gauss and Laplace
     |      independently [2]_, is often called the bell curve because of
     |      its characteristic shape (see the example below).
     |
     |      The normal distributions occurs often in nature.  For example, it
     |      describes the commonly occurring distribution of samples influenced
     |      by a large number of tiny, random disturbances, each with its own
     |      unique distribution [2]_.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``normal`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      loc : float or array_like of floats
     |          Mean ("centre") of the distribution.
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats
     |          Standard deviation (spread or "width") of the distribution. Must be
     |          non-negative.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``loc`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(loc, scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns

     |      The probability density for the Gaussian distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{ 2 \pi \sigma^2 }}
     |                       e^{ - \frac{ (x - \mu)^2 } {2 \sigma^2} },
     |
     |      where :math:`\mu` is the mean and :math:`\sigma` the standard
     |      deviation. The square of the standard deviation, :math:`\sigma^2`,
     |      is called the variance.
     |
     |      The function has its peak at the mean, and its "spread" increases with
     |      the standard deviation (the function reaches 0.607 times its maximum at
     |      :math:`x + \sigma` and :math:`x - \sigma` [2]_).  This implies that
     |      normal is more likely to return samples lying close to the mean, rather
     |      than those far away.

     |  pareto(...)
     |      pareto(a, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Pareto II or Lomax distribution with
     |      specified shape.
     |
     |      The Lomax or Pareto II distribution is a shifted Pareto
     |      distribution. The classical Pareto distribution can be
     |      obtained from the Lomax distribution by adding 1 and
     |      multiplying by the scale parameter ``m`` (see Notes).  The
     |      smallest value of the Lomax distribution is zero while for the
     |      classical Pareto distribution it is ``mu``, where the standard
     |      Pareto distribution has location ``mu = 1``.  Lomax can also
     |      be considered as a simplified version of the Generalized
     |      Pareto distribution (available in SciPy), with the scale set
     |      to one and the location set to zero.
     |
     |      The Pareto distribution must be greater than zero, and is
     |      unbounded above.  It is also known as the "80-20 rule".  In
     |      this distribution, 80 percent of the weights are in the lowest
     |      20 percent of the range, while the other 20 percent fill the
     |      remaining 80 percent of the range.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``pareto`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      a : float or array_like of floats
     |          Shape of the distribution. Must be positive.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``a`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(a).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar

     |      The probability density for the Pareto distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{am^a}{x^{a+1}}

     |
     |      The Pareto distribution, named after the Italian economist
     |      Vilfredo Pareto, is a power law probability distribution
     |      useful in many real world problems.  Outside the field of
     |      economics it is generally referred to as the Bradford
     |      distribution. Pareto developed the distribution to describe
     |      the distribution of wealth in an economy.  It has also found
     |      use in insurance, web page access statistics, oil field sizes,
     |      and many other problems, including the download frequency for
     |      projects in Sourceforge [1]_.  It is one of the so-called
     |      "fat-tailed" distributions.

     |  poisson(...)
     |      poisson(lam=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Poisson distribution.
     |
     |      The Poisson distribution is the limit of the binomial distribution
     |      for large N.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``poisson`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      lam : float or array_like of floats
     |          Expectation of interval, must be >= 0. A sequence of expectation
     |          intervals must be broadcastable over the requested size.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``lam`` is a scalar. Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(lam).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Poisson distribution.

     |      The Poisson distribution
     |
     |      .. math:: f(k; \lambda)=\frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}
     |
     |      For events with an expected separation :math:`\lambda` the Poisson
     |      distribution :math:`f(k; \lambda)` describes the probability of
     |      :math:`k` events occurring within the observed
     |      interval :math:`\lambda`.
     |
     |      Because the output is limited to the range of the C int64 type, a
     |      ValueError is raised when `lam` is within 10 sigma of the maximum
     |      representable value.

     |
     |      Also known as the power function distribution.
     |

     |      The probability density function is

     |      .. math:: P(x; a) = ax^{a-1}, 0 \le x \le 1, a>0.
     |
     |      The power function distribution is just the inverse of the Pareto
     |      distribution. It may also be seen as a special case of the Beta
     |      distribution.
     |
     |      It is used, for example, in modeling the over-reporting of insurance
     |      claims.

     |      randint(low, high=None, size=None, dtype=int)
     |
     |      Return random integers from `low` (inclusive) to `high` (exclusive).
     |
     |      Return random integers from the "discrete uniform" distribution of
     |      the specified dtype in the "half-open" interval [`low`, `high`). If
     |      `high` is None (the default), then results are from [0, `low`).
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``integers`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      low : int or array-like of ints
     |          Lowest (signed) integers to be drawn from the distribution (unless
     |          ``high=None``, in which case this parameter is one above the
     |          *highest* such integer).
     |      high : int or array-like of ints, optional
     |          If provided, one above the largest (signed) integer to be drawn
     |          from the distribution (see above for behavior if ``high=None``).
     |          If array-like, must contain integer values
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          single value is returned.
     |      dtype : dtype, optional
     |          Desired dtype of the result. Byteorder must be native.
     |          The default value is int.

     |      Generator.integers: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      >>> np.random.randint(2, size=10)
     |      array([1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0]) # random
     |      >>> np.random.randint(1, size=10)
     |      array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
     |
     |      Generate a 2 x 4 array of ints between 0 and 4, inclusive:
     |
     |      >>> np.random.randint(5, size=(2, 4))
     |      array([[4, 0, 2, 1], # random
     |             [3, 2, 2, 0]])

     |             [ 1, 16,  9, 12]], dtype=uint8)
     |
     |  randn(...)
     |      randn(d0, d1, ..., dn)
     |
     |      Return a sample (or samples) from the "standard normal" distribution.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          This is a convenience function for users porting code from Matlab,
     |          and wraps `standard_normal`. That function takes a
     |          tuple to specify the size of the output, which is consistent with
     |          other NumPy functions like `numpy.zeros` and `numpy.ones`.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``standard_normal`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      If positive int_like arguments are provided, `randn` generates an array
     |      of shape ``(d0, d1, ..., dn)``, filled
     |      with random floats sampled from a univariate "normal" (Gaussian)
     |      distribution of mean 0 and variance 1. A single float randomly sampled
     |      from the distribution is returned if no argument is provided.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      d0, d1, ..., dn : int, optional
     |          The dimensions of the returned array, must be non-negative.
     |          If no argument is given a single Python float is returned.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      Z : ndarray or float
     |          A ``(d0, d1, ..., dn)``-shaped array of floating-point samples from
     |          the standard normal distribution, or a single such float if
     |          no parameters were supplied.
     |
     |      See Also
     |      --------
     |      standard_normal : Similar, but takes a tuple as its argument.
     |      normal : Also accepts mu and sigma arguments.
     |      Generator.standard_normal: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      For random samples from :math:`N(\mu, \sigma^2)`, use:
     |
     |      ``sigma * np.random.randn(...) + mu``
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      >>> np.random.randn()
     |      2.1923875335537315  # random
     |
     |      Two-by-four array of samples from N(3, 6.25):
     |
     |      >>> 3 + 2.5 * np.random.randn(2, 4)
     |      array([[-4.49401501,  4.00950034, -1.81814867,  7.29718677],   # random
     |             [ 0.39924804,  4.68456316,  4.99394529,  4.84057254]])  # random
     |
     |  random(...)
     |      random(size=None)
     |
     |      Return random floats in the half-open interval [0.0, 1.0). Alias for
     |      `random_sample` to ease forward-porting to the new random API.
     |
     |  random_integers(...)
     |      random_integers(low, high=None, size=None)
     |
     |      Random integers of type `np.int_` between `low` and `high`, inclusive.
     |
     |      Return random integers of type `np.int_` from the "discrete uniform"
     |      distribution in the closed interval [`low`, `high`].  If `high` is
     |      None (the default), then results are from [1, `low`]. The `np.int_`
     |      type translates to the C long integer type and its precision
     |      is platform dependent.
     |
     |      This function has been deprecated. Use randint instead.
     |
     |      .. deprecated:: 1.11.0
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      low : int
     |          Lowest (signed) integer to be drawn from the distribution (unless
     |          ``high=None``, in which case this parameter is the *highest* such
     |          integer).
     |      high : int, optional
     |          If provided, the largest (signed) integer to be drawn from the
     |          distribution (see above for behavior if ``high=None``).
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          single value is returned.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      To sample from N evenly spaced floating-point numbers between a and b,
     |      use::
     |
     |        a + (b - a) * (np.random.random_integers(N) - 1) / (N - 1.)
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      >>> np.random.random_integers(5)
     |      4 # random

     |             [3, 3],
     |             [4, 5]])
     |
     |      Choose five random numbers from the set of five evenly-spaced
     |      numbers between 0 and 2.5, inclusive (*i.e.*, from the set
     |      :math:`{0, 5/8, 10/8, 15/8, 20/8}`):

     |      array([ 0.625,  1.25 ,  0.625,  0.625,  2.5  ]) # random
     |
     |      Roll two six sided dice 1000 times and sum the results:
     |
     |      >>> d1 = np.random.random_integers(1, 6, 1000)
     |      >>> d2 = np.random.random_integers(1, 6, 1000)
     |      >>> dsums = d1 + d2
     |
     |      Display results as a histogram:
     |
     |      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     |      >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(dsums, 11, density=True)
     |      >>> plt.show()
     |

     |      random_sample(size=None)
     |
     |      Return random floats in the half-open interval [0.0, 1.0).
     |
     |      Results are from the "continuous uniform" distribution over the
     |      stated interval.  To sample :math:`Unif[a, b), b > a` multiply
     |      the output of `random_sample` by `(b-a)` and add `a`::
     |
     |        (b - a) * random_sample() + a
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``random`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          single value is returned.
     |

     |      -------
     |      out : float or ndarray of floats

     |
     |  rayleigh(...)
     |      rayleigh(scale=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Rayleigh distribution.
     |
     |      The :math:`\chi` and Weibull distributions are generalizations of the
     |      Rayleigh.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``rayleigh`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          Scale, also equals the mode. Must be non-negative. Default is 1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``scale`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Rayleigh distribution.
     |
     |      See Also
     |      --------
     |      Generator.rayleigh: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function for the Rayleigh distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x;scale) = \frac{x}{scale^2}e^{\frac{-x^2}{2 \cdotp scale^2}}
     |
     |      The Rayleigh distribution would arise, for example, if the East
     |      and North components of the wind velocity had identical zero-mean
     |      Gaussian distributions.  Then the wind speed would have a Rayleigh
     |      distribution.

     |      Reseed a legacy MT19937 BitGenerator
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      This is a convenience, legacy function.
     |
     |      The best practice is to **not** reseed a BitGenerator, rather to
     |      recreate a new one. This method is here for legacy reasons.
     |      This example demonstrates best practice.
     |
     |      >>> from numpy.random import MT19937
     |      >>> from numpy.random import RandomState, SeedSequence
     |      >>> rs = RandomState(MT19937(SeedSequence(123456789)))

     |
     |  set_state(...)
     |      set_state(state)
     |
     |      Set the internal state of the generator from a tuple.
     |
     |      For use if one has reason to manually (re-)set the internal state of
     |      the bit generator used by the RandomState instance. By default,
     |      RandomState uses the "Mersenne Twister"[1]_ pseudo-random number
     |      generating algorithm.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      state : {tuple(str, ndarray of 624 uints, int, int, float), dict}
     |          The `state` tuple has the following items:
     |
     |          1. the string 'MT19937', specifying the Mersenne Twister algorithm.
     |          2. a 1-D array of 624 unsigned integers ``keys``.
     |          3. an integer ``pos``.
     |          4. an integer ``has_gauss``.
     |          5. a float ``cached_gaussian``.
     |
     |          If state is a dictionary, it is directly set using the BitGenerators
     |          `state` property.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : None
     |          Returns 'None' on success.
     |
     |      See Also
     |      --------
     |      get_state
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      `set_state` and `get_state` are not needed to work with any of the
     |      random distributions in NumPy. If the internal state is manually altered,
     |      the user should know exactly what he/she is doing.
     |
     |      For backwards compatibility, the form (str, array of 624 uints, int) is
     |      also accepted although it is missing some information about the cached
     |      Gaussian value: ``state = ('MT19937', keys, pos)``.

     |  shuffle(...)
     |      shuffle(x)
     |
     |      Modify a sequence in-place by shuffling its contents.
     |
     |      This function only shuffles the array along the first axis of a
     |      multi-dimensional array. The order of sub-arrays is changed but
     |      their contents remains the same.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``shuffle`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      x : array_like
     |          The array or list to be shuffled.
     |
     |      Returns

     |      [1 7 5 2 9 4 3 6 0 8] # random
     |
     |      Multi-dimensional arrays are only shuffled along the first axis:

     |  standard_cauchy(...)
     |      standard_cauchy(size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a standard Cauchy distribution with mode = 0.
     |
     |      Also known as the Lorentz distribution.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``standard_cauchy`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
     |          single value is returned.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      samples : ndarray or scalar
     |          The drawn samples.
     |
     |      See Also

     |      Generator.standard_cauchy: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function for the full Cauchy distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x; x_0, \gamma) = \frac{1}{\pi \gamma \bigl[ 1+
     |                (\frac{x-x_0}{\gamma})^2 \bigr] }
     |
     |      and the Standard Cauchy distribution just sets :math:`x_0=0` and
     |      :math:`\gamma=1`
     |
     |      The Cauchy distribution arises in the solution to the driven harmonic
     |      oscillator problem, and also describes spectral line broadening. It
     |      also describes the distribution of values at which a line tilted at
     |      a random angle will cut the x axis.
     |
     |      When studying hypothesis tests that assume normality, seeing how the
     |      tests perform on data from a Cauchy distribution is a good indicator of
     |      their sensitivity to a heavy-tailed distribution, since the Cauchy looks
     |      very much like a Gaussian distribution, but with heavier tails.

     |      shape (sometimes designated "k") and scale=1.
     |
     |      .. note::

     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      shape : float or array_like of floats
     |          Parameter, must be non-negative.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``shape`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the Gamma distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = x^{k-1}\frac{e^{-x/\theta}}{\theta^k\Gamma(k)},
     |
     |      where :math:`k` is the shape and :math:`\theta` the scale,
     |      and :math:`\Gamma` is the Gamma function.
     |
     |      The Gamma distribution is often used to model the times to failure of
     |      electronic components, and arises naturally in processes for which the
     |      waiting times between Poisson distributed events are relevant.

     |  standard_t(...)

     |      of freedom.
     |
     |      A special case of the hyperbolic distribution.  As `df` gets
     |      large, the result resembles that of the standard normal
     |      distribution (`standard_normal`).
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``standard_t`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      df : float or array_like of floats
     |          Degrees of freedom, must be > 0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),

     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized standard Student's t distribution.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function for the t distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x, df) = \frac{\Gamma(\frac{df+1}{2})}{\sqrt{\pi df}
     |                \Gamma(\frac{df}{2})}\Bigl( 1+\frac{x^2}{df} \Bigr)^{-(df+1)/2}
     |
     |      The t test is based on an assumption that the data come from a
     |      Normal distribution. The t test provides a way to test whether
     |      the sample mean (that is the mean calculated from the data) is
     |      a good estimate of the true mean.
     |
     |      The derivation of the t-distribution was first published in
     |      1908 by William Gosset while working for the Guinness Brewery
     |      in Dublin. Due to proprietary issues, he had to publish under
     |      a pseudonym, and so he used the name Student.

     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      From Dalgaard page 83 [1]_, suppose the daily energy intake for 11
     |      women in kilojoules (kJ) is:
     |
     |      >>> intake = np.array([5260., 5470, 5640, 6180, 6390, 6515, 6805, 7515, \
     |      ...                    7515, 8230, 8770])
     |
     |      Does their energy intake deviate systematically from the recommended
     |      value of 7725 kJ?
     |
     |      We have 10 degrees of freedom, so is the sample mean within 95% of the
     |      recommended value?
     |
     |      >>> s = np.random.standard_t(10, size=100000)
     |      >>> np.mean(intake)
     |      6753.636363636364
     |      >>> intake.std(ddof=1)
     |      1142.1232221373727
     |
     |      Calculate the t statistic, setting the ddof parameter to the unbiased
     |      value so the divisor in the standard deviation will be degrees of
     |      freedom, N-1.
     |
     |      >>> t = (np.mean(intake)-7725)/(intake.std(ddof=1)/np.sqrt(len(intake)))
     |      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     |      >>> h = plt.hist(s, bins=100, density=True)
     |
     |      For a one-sided t-test, how far out in the distribution does the t
     |      statistic appear?
     |
     |      >>> np.sum(s<t) / float(len(s))
     |      0.0090699999999999999  #random
     |
     |      So the p-value is about 0.009, which says the null hypothesis has a
     |      probability of about 99% of being true.

     |  triangular(...)
     |      triangular(left, mode, right, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from the triangular distribution over the
     |      interval ``[left, right]``.
     |
     |      The triangular distribution is a continuous probability
     |      distribution with lower limit left, peak at mode, and upper
     |      limit right. Unlike the other distributions, these parameters
     |      directly define the shape of the pdf.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``triangular`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      left : float or array_like of floats
     |          Lower limit.
     |      mode : float or array_like of floats
     |          The value where the peak of the distribution occurs.
     |          The value must fulfill the condition ``left <= mode <= right``.
     |      right : float or array_like of floats
     |          Upper limit, must be larger than `left`.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``left``, ``mode``, and ``right``
     |          are all scalars.  Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(left, mode, right).size``
     |          samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized triangular distribution.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function for the triangular distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x;l, m, r) = \begin{cases}
     |                \frac{2(x-l)}{(r-l)(m-l)}& \text{for $l \leq x \leq m$},\\
     |                \frac{2(r-x)}{(r-l)(r-m)}& \text{for $m \leq x \leq r$},\\
     |                0& \text{otherwise}.
     |                \end{cases}
     |
     |      The triangular distribution is often used in ill-defined
     |      problems where the underlying distribution is not known, but
     |      some knowledge of the limits and mode exists. Often it is used
     |      in simulations.

     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Draw values from the distribution and plot the histogram:
     |
     |      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     |      >>> h = plt.hist(np.random.triangular(-3, 0, 8, 100000), bins=200,

     |      >>> plt.show()
     |
     |  uniform(...)
     |      uniform(low=0.0, high=1.0, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a uniform distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are uniformly distributed over the half-open interval
     |      ``[low, high)`` (includes low, but excludes high).  In other words,
     |      any value within the given interval is equally likely to be drawn
     |      by `uniform`.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``uniform`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      low : float or array_like of floats, optional
     |          Lower boundary of the output interval.  All values generated will be
     |          greater than or equal to low.  The default value is 0.
     |      high : float or array_like of floats
     |          Upper boundary of the output interval.  All values generated will be
     |          less than or equal to high.  The default value is 1.0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``low`` and ``high`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(low, high).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized uniform distribution.
     |
     |      See Also

     |      randint : Discrete uniform distribution, yielding integers.
     |      random_integers : Discrete uniform distribution over the closed
     |                        interval ``[low, high]``.
     |      random_sample : Floats uniformly distributed over ``[0, 1)``.
     |      random : Alias for `random_sample`.
     |      rand : Convenience function that accepts dimensions as input, e.g.,
     |             ``rand(2,2)`` would generate a 2-by-2 array of floats,
     |             uniformly distributed over ``[0, 1)``.
     |      Generator.uniform: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function of the uniform distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{1}{b - a}
     |
     |      anywhere within the interval ``[a, b)``, and zero elsewhere.
     |
     |      When ``high`` == ``low``, values of ``low`` will be returned.
     |      If ``high`` < ``low``, the results are officially undefined
     |      and may eventually raise an error, i.e. do not rely on this
     |      function to behave when passed arguments satisfying that
     |      inequality condition. The ``high`` limit may be included in the
     |      returned array of floats due to floating-point rounding in the
     |      equation ``low + (high-low) * random_sample()``. For example:
     |
     |      >>> x = np.float32(5*0.99999999)
     |      >>> x
     |      5.0
     |
     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Draw samples from the distribution:
     |
     |      >>> s = np.random.uniform(-1,0,1000)
     |
     |      All values are within the given interval:

     |      vonmises(mu, kappa, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a von Mises distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a von Mises distribution with specified mode
     |      (mu) and dispersion (kappa), on the interval [-pi, pi].
     |
     |      The von Mises distribution (also known as the circular normal
     |      distribution) is a continuous probability distribution on the unit
     |      circle.  It may be thought of as the circular analogue of the normal
     |      distribution.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``vonmises`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      mu : float or array_like of floats
     |          Mode ("center") of the distribution.
     |      kappa : float or array_like of floats
     |          Dispersion of the distribution, has to be >=0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``mu`` and ``kappa`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(mu, kappa).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized von Mises distribution.

     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the von Mises distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{e^{\kappa cos(x-\mu)}}{2\pi I_0(\kappa)},
     |
     |      where :math:`\mu` is the mode and :math:`\kappa` the dispersion,
     |      and :math:`I_0(\kappa)` is the modified Bessel function of order 0.
     |
     |      The von Mises is named for Richard Edler von Mises, who was born in
     |      Austria-Hungary, in what is now the Ukraine.  He fled to the United
     |      States in 1939 and became a professor at Harvard.  He worked in
     |      probability theory, aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, and philosophy of
     |      science.

     |  wald(...)
     |      wald(mean, scale, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Wald, or inverse Gaussian, distribution.
     |
     |      As the scale approaches infinity, the distribution becomes more like a
     |      Gaussian. Some references claim that the Wald is an inverse Gaussian
     |      with mean equal to 1, but this is by no means universal.
     |
     |      The inverse Gaussian distribution was first studied in relationship to
     |      Brownian motion. In 1956 M.C.K. Tweedie used the name inverse Gaussian
     |      because there is an inverse relationship between the time to cover a
     |      unit distance and distance covered in unit time.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``wald`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      mean : float or array_like of floats
     |          Distribution mean, must be > 0.
     |      scale : float or array_like of floats
     |          Scale parameter, must be > 0.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``mean`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
     |          Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(mean, scale).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Wald distribution.
     |
     |      See Also
     |      --------
     |      Generator.wald: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density function for the Wald distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: P(x;mean,scale) = \sqrt{\frac{scale}{2\pi x^3}}e^
     |                                  \frac{-scale(x-mean)^2}{2\cdotp mean^2x}
     |
     |      As noted above the inverse Gaussian distribution first arise
     |      from attempts to model Brownian motion. It is also a
     |      competitor to the Weibull for use in reliability modeling and
     |      modeling stock returns and interest rate processes.

     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The Weibull (or Type III asymptotic extreme value distribution
     |      for smallest values, SEV Type III, or Rosin-Rammler
     |      distribution) is one of a class of Generalized Extreme Value
     |      (GEV) distributions used in modeling extreme value problems.
     |      This class includes the Gumbel and Frechet distributions.
     |
     |      The probability density for the Weibull distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{a}
     |                       {\lambda}(\frac{x}{\lambda})^{a-1}e^{-(x/\lambda)^a},
     |
     |      where :math:`a` is the shape and :math:`\lambda` the scale.
     |
     |      The function has its peak (the mode) at
     |      :math:`\lambda(\frac{a-1}{a})^{1/a}`.
     |
     |      When ``a = 1``, the Weibull distribution reduces to the exponential
     |      distribution.

     |  zipf(...)
     |      zipf(a, size=None)
     |
     |      Draw samples from a Zipf distribution.
     |
     |      Samples are drawn from a Zipf distribution with specified parameter
     |      `a` > 1.
     |
     |      The Zipf distribution (also known as the zeta distribution) is a
     |      continuous probability distribution that satisfies Zipf's law: the
     |      frequency of an item is inversely proportional to its rank in a
     |      frequency table.
     |
     |      .. note::
     |          New code should use the ``zipf`` method of a ``default_rng()``
     |          instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      a : float or array_like of floats
     |          Distribution parameter. Must be greater than 1.
     |      size : int or tuple of ints, optional
     |          Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
     |          ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
     |          a single value is returned if ``a`` is a scalar. Otherwise,
     |          ``np.array(a).size`` samples are drawn.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      out : ndarray or scalar
     |          Drawn samples from the parameterized Zipf distribution.

     |          cumulative density function, etc.
     |      Generator.zipf: which should be used for new code.
     |
     |      Notes
     |      -----
     |      The probability density for the Zipf distribution is
     |
     |      .. math:: p(x) = \frac{x^{-a}}{\zeta(a)},
     |
     |      where :math:`\zeta` is the Riemann Zeta function.
     |
     |      It is named for the American linguist George Kingsley Zipf, who noted
     |      that the frequency of any word in a sample of a language is inversely
     |      proportional to its rank in the frequency table.

     |
     |      Examples
     |      --------
     |      Draw samples from the distribution:
     |
     |      >>> a = 2. # parameter
     |      >>> s = np.random.zipf(a, 1000)
     |
     |      Display the histogram of the samples, along with
     |      the probability density function:

     |      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     |      >>> from scipy import special  # doctest: +SKIP
     |
     |      Truncate s values at 50 so plot is interesting:
     |
     |      >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(s[s<50], 50, density=True)
     |      >>> x = np.arange(1., 50.)
     |      >>> y = x**(-a) / special.zetac(a)  # doctest: +SKIP
     |      >>> plt.plot(x, y/max(y), linewidth=2, color='r')  # doctest: +SKIP

    class SFC64(numpy.random.bit_generator.BitGenerator)
     |  SFC64(seed=None)
     |
     |  BitGenerator for Chris Doty-Humphrey's Small Fast Chaotic PRNG.
     |
     |  Parameters
     |  ----------
     |  seed : {None, int, array_like[ints], SeedSequence}, optional
     |      A seed to initialize the `BitGenerator`. If None, then fresh,
     |      unpredictable entropy will be pulled from the OS. If an ``int`` or
     |      ``array_like[ints]`` is passed, then it will be passed to
     |      `SeedSequence` to derive the initial `BitGenerator` state. One may also
     |      pass in a `SeedSequence` instance.
     |
     |  Notes
     |  -----
     |  ``SFC64`` is a 256-bit implementation of Chris Doty-Humphrey's Small Fast
     |  Chaotic PRNG ([1]_). ``SFC64`` has a few different cycles that one might be
     |  on, depending on the seed; the expected period will be about
     |  :math:`2^{255}` ([2]_). ``SFC64`` incorporates a 64-bit counter which means
     |  that the absolute minimum cycle length is :math:`2^{64}` and that distinct
     |  seeds will not run into each other for at least :math:`2^{64}` iterations.
     |
     |  ``SFC64`` provides a capsule containing function pointers that produce
     |  doubles, and unsigned 32 and 64- bit integers. These are not
     |  directly consumable in Python and must be consumed by a ``Generator``
     |  or similar object that supports low-level access.
     |
     |  **State and Seeding**
     |
     |  The ``SFC64`` state vector consists of 4 unsigned 64-bit values. The last
     |  is a 64-bit counter that increments by 1 each iteration.
     |
     |  The input seed is processed by `SeedSequence` to generate the first
     |  3 values, then the ``SFC64`` algorithm is iterated a small number of times
     |  to mix.
     |
     |  **Compatibility Guarantee**
     |
     |  ``SFC64`` makes a guarantee that a fixed seed will always produce the same
     |  random integer stream.

    class SeedSequence(builtins.object)
     |  SeedSequence(entropy=None, *, spawn_key=(), pool_size=4)
     |
     |  SeedSequence mixes sources of entropy in a reproducible way to set the
     |  initial state for independent and very probably non-overlapping
     |  BitGenerators.
     |
     |  Once the SeedSequence is instantiated, you can call the `generate_state`
     |  method to get an appropriately sized seed. Calling `spawn(n) <spawn>` will
     |  create ``n`` SeedSequences that can be used to seed independent
     |  BitGenerators, i.e. for different threads.
     |
     |  Parameters
     |  ----------
     |  entropy : {None, int, sequence[int]}, optional
     |      The entropy for creating a `SeedSequence`.
     |  spawn_key : {(), sequence[int]}, optional
     |      A third source of entropy, used internally when calling
     |      `SeedSequence.spawn`
     |  pool_size : {int}, optional
     |      Size of the pooled entropy to store. Default is 4 to give a 128-bit
     |      entropy pool. 8 (for 256 bits) is another reasonable choice if working
     |      with larger PRNGs, but there is very little to be gained by selecting
     |      another value.
     |  n_children_spawned : {int}, optional
     |      The number of children already spawned. Only pass this if
     |      reconstructing a `SeedSequence` from a serialized form.
     |
     |  Notes
     |  -----
     |
     |  Best practice for achieving reproducible bit streams is to use
     |  the default ``None`` for the initial entropy, and then use
     |  `SeedSequence.entropy` to log/pickle the `entropy` for reproducibility:
     |
     |  >>> sq1 = np.random.SeedSequence()
     |  >>> sq1.entropy
     |  243799254704924441050048792905230269161  # random
     |  >>> sq2 = np.random.SeedSequence(sq1.entropy)
     |  >>> np.all(sq1.generate_state(10) == sq2.generate_state(10))
     |  True

     |  generate_state(...)
     |      generate_state(n_words, dtype=np.uint32)
     |
     |      Return the requested number of words for PRNG seeding.
     |
     |      A BitGenerator should call this method in its constructor with
     |      an appropriate `n_words` parameter to properly seed itself.
     |
     |      Parameters
     |      ----------
     |      n_words : int
     |      dtype : np.uint32 or np.uint64, optional
     |          The size of each word. This should only be either `uint32` or
     |          `uint64`. Strings (`'uint32'`, `'uint64'`) are fine. Note that
     |          requesting `uint64` will draw twice as many bits as `uint32` for
     |          the same `n_words`. This is a convenience for `BitGenerator`s that
     |          express their states as `uint64` arrays.
     |
     |      Returns
     |      -------
     |      state : uint32 or uint64 array, shape=(n_words,)
     |
     |  spawn(...)
     |      spawn(n_children)
     |
     |      Spawn a number of child `SeedSequence` s by extending the

FUNCTIONS
    beta(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        beta(a, b, size=None)

        Draw samples from a Beta distribution.

        The Beta distribution is a special case of the Dirichlet distribution,
        and is related to the Gamma distribution.  It has the probability
        distribution function

        .. math:: f(x; a,b) = \frac{1}{B(\alpha, \beta)} x^{\alpha - 1}
                                                         (1 - x)^{\beta - 1},

        where the normalization, B, is the beta function,

        .. math:: B(\alpha, \beta) = \int_0^1 t^{\alpha - 1}
                                     (1 - t)^{\beta - 1} dt.

        It is often seen in Bayesian inference and order statistics.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``beta`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        a : float or array_like of floats
            Alpha, positive (>0).
        b : float or array_like of floats
            Beta, positive (>0).
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``a`` and ``b`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(a, b).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized beta distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.beta: which should be used for new code.

    binomial(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        binomial(n, p, size=None)

        Draw samples from a binomial distribution.

        Samples are drawn from a binomial distribution with specified
        parameters, n trials and p probability of success where
        n an integer >= 0 and p is in the interval [0,1]. (n may be
        input as a float, but it is truncated to an integer in use)

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``binomial`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        n : int or array_like of ints
            Parameter of the distribution, >= 0. Floats are also accepted,
            but they will be truncated to integers.
        p : float or array_like of floats
            Parameter of the distribution, >= 0 and <=1.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``n`` and ``p`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(n, p).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized binomial distribution, where
            each sample is equal to the number of successes over the n trials.

        See Also
        --------
        scipy.stats.binom : probability density function, distribution or
            cumulative density function, etc.
        Generator.binomial: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density for the binomial distribution is

        .. math:: P(N) = \binom{n}{N}p^N(1-p)^{n-N},

        where :math:`n` is the number of trials, :math:`p` is the probability
        of success, and :math:`N` is the number of successes.

        When estimating the standard error of a proportion in a population by
        using a random sample, the normal distribution works well unless the
        product p*n <=5, where p = population proportion estimate, and n =
        number of samples, in which case the binomial distribution is used
        instead. For example, a sample of 15 people shows 4 who are left
        handed, and 11 who are right handed. Then p = 4/15 = 27%. 0.27*15 = 4,
        so the binomial distribution should be used in this case.

        Draw samples from the distribution:

        >>> n, p = 10, .5  # number of trials, probability of each trial
        >>> s = np.random.binomial(n, p, 1000)
        # result of flipping a coin 10 times, tested 1000 times.

        A real world example. A company drills 9 wild-cat oil exploration
        wells, each with an estimated probability of success of 0.1. All nine
        wells fail. What is the probability of that happening?

        Let's do 20,000 trials of the model, and count the number that
        generate zero positive results.

        >>> sum(np.random.binomial(9, 0.1, 20000) == 0)/20000.
        # answer = 0.38885, or 38%.

    bytes(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        bytes(length)

        Return random bytes.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``bytes`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        length : int
            Number of random bytes.

        Returns
        -------
        out : str
            String of length `length`.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.bytes: which should be used for new code.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> np.random.bytes(10)
        ' eh\x85\x022SZ\xbf\xa4' #random

    chisquare(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        chisquare(df, size=None)

        Draw samples from a chi-square distribution.

        When `df` independent random variables, each with standard normal
        distributions (mean 0, variance 1), are squared and summed, the
        resulting distribution is chi-square (see Notes).  This distribution
        is often used in hypothesis testing.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``chisquare`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        df : float or array_like of floats
             Number of degrees of freedom, must be > 0.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``df`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
            ``np.array(df).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized chi-square distribution.

        Raises
        ------
        ValueError
            When `df` <= 0 or when an inappropriate `size` (e.g. ``size=-1``)
            is given.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.chisquare: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The variable obtained by summing the squares of `df` independent,
        standard normally distributed random variables:

        .. math:: Q = \sum_{i=0}^{\mathtt{df}} X^2_i

        is chi-square distributed, denoted

        .. math:: Q \sim \chi^2_k.

        The probability density function of the chi-squared distribution is

        .. math:: p(x) = \frac{(1/2)^{k/2}}{\Gamma(k/2)}
                         x^{k/2 - 1} e^{-x/2},

        where :math:`\Gamma` is the gamma function,

        .. math:: \Gamma(x) = \int_0^{-\infty} t^{x - 1} e^{-t} dt.

    choice(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        choice(a, size=None, replace=True, p=None)

        Generates a random sample from a given 1-D array

        .. versionadded:: 1.7.0

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``choice`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        a : 1-D array-like or int
            If an ndarray, a random sample is generated from its elements.
            If an int, the random sample is generated as if a were np.arange(a)
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
            single value is returned.
        replace : boolean, optional
            Whether the sample is with or without replacement
        p : 1-D array-like, optional
            The probabilities associated with each entry in a.
            If not given the sample assumes a uniform distribution over all
            entries in a.

        Returns
        -------
        samples : single item or ndarray
            The generated random samples

        Raises
        ------
        ValueError
            If a is an int and less than zero, if a or p are not 1-dimensional,
            if a is an array-like of size 0, if p is not a vector of
            probabilities, if a and p have different lengths, or if
            replace=False and the sample size is greater than the population
            size

        --------
        randint, shuffle, permutation
        Generator.choice: which should be used in new code

        Notes
        -----
        Sampling random rows from a 2-D array is not possible with this function,
        but is possible with `Generator.choice` through its ``axis`` keyword.

        Examples
        --------
        Generate a uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size 3:

        >>> np.random.choice(5, 3)
        array([0, 3, 4]) # random
        >>> #This is equivalent to np.random.randint(0,5,3)

        Generate a non-uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size 3:

        >>> np.random.choice(5, 3, p=[0.1, 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0])
        array([3, 3, 0]) # random

        Generate a uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size 3 without
        replacement:

        >>> np.random.choice(5, 3, replace=False)
        array([3,1,0]) # random
        >>> #This is equivalent to np.random.permutation(np.arange(5))[:3]

        Generate a non-uniform random sample from np.arange(5) of size
        3 without replacement:

        >>> np.random.choice(5, 3, replace=False, p=[0.1, 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0])
        array([2, 3, 0]) # random

        Any of the above can be repeated with an arbitrary array-like
        instead of just integers. For instance:

        >>> aa_milne_arr = ['pooh', 'rabbit', 'piglet', 'Christopher']
        >>> np.random.choice(aa_milne_arr, 5, p=[0.5, 0.1, 0.1, 0.3])
        array(['pooh', 'pooh', 'pooh', 'Christopher', 'piglet'], # random
              dtype='<U11')

    default_rng(...)
        Construct a new Generator with the default BitGenerator (PCG64).

        Parameters
        ----------
        seed : {None, int, array_like[ints], SeedSequence, BitGenerator, Generator}, optional
            A seed to initialize the `BitGenerator`. If None, then fresh,
            unpredictable entropy will be pulled from the OS. If an ``int`` or
            ``array_like[ints]`` is passed, then it will be passed to
            `SeedSequence` to derive the initial `BitGenerator` state. One may also
            pass in a`SeedSequence` instance
            Additionally, when passed a `BitGenerator`, it will be wrapped by
            `Generator`. If passed a `Generator`, it will be returned unaltered.

        Returns
        -------
        Generator
            The initialized generator object.

        Notes
        -----
        If ``seed`` is not a `BitGenerator` or a `Generator`, a new `BitGenerator`
        is instantiated. This function does not manage a default global instance.

    dirichlet(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        dirichlet(alpha, size=None)

        Draw samples from the Dirichlet distribution.

        Draw `size` samples of dimension k from a Dirichlet distribution. A
        Dirichlet-distributed random variable can be seen as a multivariate
        generalization of a Beta distribution. The Dirichlet distribution
        is a conjugate prior of a multinomial distribution in Bayesian
        inference.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``dirichlet`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        alpha : sequence of floats, length k
            Parameter of the distribution (length ``k`` for sample of
            length ``k``).
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
            vector of length ``k`` is returned.

        Returns
        -------
        samples : ndarray,
            The drawn samples, of shape ``(size, k)``.

        Raises
        -------
        ValueError
            If any value in ``alpha`` is less than or equal to zero

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.dirichlet: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The Dirichlet distribution is a distribution over vectors
        :math:`x` that fulfil the conditions :math:`x_i>0` and
        :math:`\sum_{i=1}^k x_i = 1`.

        The probability density function :math:`p` of a
        Dirichlet-distributed random vector :math:`X` is
        proportional to

        .. math:: p(x) \propto \prod_{i=1}^{k}{x^{\alpha_i-1}_i},

        where :math:`\alpha` is a vector containing the positive
        concentration parameters.

        The method uses the following property for computation: let :math:`Y`
        be a random vector which has components that follow a standard gamma
        distribution, then :math:`X = \frac{1}{\sum_{i=1}^k{Y_i}} Y`
        is Dirichlet-distributed

        Taking an example cited in Wikipedia, this distribution can be used if
        one wanted to cut strings (each of initial length 1.0) into K pieces
        with different lengths, where each piece had, on average, a designated
        average length, but allowing some variation in the relative sizes of
        the pieces.

    exponential(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        exponential(scale=1.0, size=None)

        Draw samples from an exponential distribution.

        Its probability density function is

        .. math:: f(x; \frac{1}{\beta}) = \frac{1}{\beta} \exp(-\frac{x}{\beta}),

        for ``x > 0`` and 0 elsewhere. :math:`\beta` is the scale parameter,
        which is the inverse of the rate parameter :math:`\lambda = 1/\beta`.
        The rate parameter is an alternative, widely used parameterization
        of the exponential distribution [3]_.

        The exponential distribution is a continuous analogue of the
        geometric distribution.  It describes many common situations, such as
        the size of raindrops measured over many rainstorms [1]_, or the time
        between page requests to Wikipedia [2]_.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``exponential`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        scale : float or array_like of floats
            The scale parameter, :math:`\beta = 1/\lambda`. Must be
            non-negative.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``scale`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
            ``np.array(scale).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized exponential distribution.

    f(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        f(dfnum, dfden, size=None)

        Draw samples from an F distribution.

        Samples are drawn from an F distribution with specified parameters,
        `dfnum` (degrees of freedom in numerator) and `dfden` (degrees of
        freedom in denominator), where both parameters must be greater than
        zero.

        The random variate of the F distribution (also known as the
        Fisher distribution) is a continuous probability distribution
        that arises in ANOVA tests, and is the ratio of two chi-square
        variates.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``f`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        dfnum : float or array_like of floats
            Degrees of freedom in numerator, must be > 0.
        dfden : float or array_like of float
            Degrees of freedom in denominator, must be > 0.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``dfnum`` and ``dfden`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(dfnum, dfden).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized Fisher distribution.

        See Also

            cumulative density function, etc.

        Notes
        -----
        The F statistic is used to compare in-group variances to between-group
        variances. Calculating the distribution depends on the sampling, and
        so it is a function of the respective degrees of freedom in the
        problem.  The variable `dfnum` is the number of samples minus one, the
        between-groups degrees of freedom, while `dfden` is the within-groups
        degrees of freedom, the sum of the number of samples in each group
        minus the number of groups.

        References

               Fifth Edition, 2002.
        .. [2] Wikipedia, "F-distribution",
               https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-distribution

        Examples
        --------
        An example from Glantz[1], pp 47-40:

        Two groups, children of diabetics (25 people) and children from people
        without diabetes (25 controls). Fasting blood glucose was measured,
        case group had a mean value of 86.1, controls had a mean value of
        82.2. Standard deviations were 2.09 and 2.49 respectively. Are these
        data consistent with the null hypothesis that the parents diabetic
        status does not affect their children's blood glucose levels?
        Calculating the F statistic from the data gives a value of 36.01.

        Draw samples from the distribution:

        >>> dfnum = 1. # between group degrees of freedom
        >>> dfden = 48. # within groups degrees of freedom
        >>> s = np.random.f(dfnum, dfden, 1000)

        The lower bound for the top 1% of the samples is :

        >>> np.sort(s)[-10]
        7.61988120985 # random

        So there is about a 1% chance that the F statistic will exceed 7.62,
        the measured value is 36, so the null hypothesis is rejected at the 1%
        level.

    gamma(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        gamma(shape, scale=1.0, size=None)

        Draw samples from a Gamma distribution.

        Samples are drawn from a Gamma distribution with specified parameters,
        `shape` (sometimes designated "k") and `scale` (sometimes designated
        "theta"), where both parameters are > 0.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``gamma`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        shape : float or array_like of floats
            The shape of the gamma distribution. Must be non-negative.
        scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
            The scale of the gamma distribution. Must be non-negative.
            Default is equal to 1.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``shape`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(shape, scale).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized gamma distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        scipy.stats.gamma : probability density function, distribution or
            cumulative density function, etc.
        Generator.gamma: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density for the Gamma distribution is

        .. math:: p(x) = x^{k-1}\frac{e^{-x/\theta}}{\theta^k\Gamma(k)},

        where :math:`k` is the shape and :math:`\theta` the scale,
        and :math:`\Gamma` is the Gamma function.

        The Gamma distribution is often used to model the times to failure of
        electronic components, and arises naturally in processes for which the
        waiting times between Poisson distributed events are relevant.

    geometric(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        geometric(p, size=None)

        Draw samples from the geometric distribution.

        Bernoulli trials are experiments with one of two outcomes:
        success or failure (an example of such an experiment is flipping
        a coin).  The geometric distribution models the number of trials
        that must be run in order to achieve success.  It is therefore
        supported on the positive integers, ``k = 1, 2, ...``.

        The probability mass function of the geometric distribution is

        .. math:: f(k) = (1 - p)^{k - 1} p

        where `p` is the probability of success of an individual trial.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``geometric`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        p : float or array_like of floats
            The probability of success of an individual trial.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``p`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
            ``np.array(p).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized geometric distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.geometric: which should be used for new code.

        Examples
        --------
        Draw ten thousand values from the geometric distribution,
        with the probability of an individual success equal to 0.35:

        >>> z = np.random.geometric(p=0.35, size=10000)

        How many trials succeeded after a single run?

        >>> (z == 1).sum() / 10000.
        0.34889999999999999 #random

    get_state(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        get_state()

        Return a tuple representing the internal state of the generator.

        For more details, see `set_state`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        legacy : bool, optional
            Flag indicating to return a legacy tuple state when the BitGenerator
            is MT19937, instead of a dict.

        Returns
        -------
        out : {tuple(str, ndarray of 624 uints, int, int, float), dict}
            The returned tuple has the following items:

            1. the string 'MT19937'.
            2. a 1-D array of 624 unsigned integer keys.
            3. an integer ``pos``.
            4. an integer ``has_gauss``.
            5. a float ``cached_gaussian``.

            If `legacy` is False, or the BitGenerator is not MT19937, then
            state is returned as a dictionary.

        See Also
        --------
        set_state

        Notes
        -----
        `set_state` and `get_state` are not needed to work with any of the
        random distributions in NumPy. If the internal state is manually altered,
        the user should know exactly what he/she is doing.

    gumbel(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        gumbel(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=None)

        Draw samples from a Gumbel distribution.

        Draw samples from a Gumbel distribution with specified location and
        scale.  For more information on the Gumbel distribution, see
        Notes and References below.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``gumbel`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        loc : float or array_like of floats, optional
            The location of the mode of the distribution. Default is 0.
        scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
            The scale parameter of the distribution. Default is 1. Must be non-
            negative.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``loc`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(loc, scale).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized Gumbel distribution.

        Generator.gumbel: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The Gumbel (or Smallest Extreme Value (SEV) or the Smallest Extreme
        Value Type I) distribution is one of a class of Generalized Extreme
        Value (GEV) distributions used in modeling extreme value problems.
        The Gumbel is a special case of the Extreme Value Type I distribution
        for maximums from distributions with "exponential-like" tails.

        The probability density for the Gumbel distribution is

        .. math:: p(x) = \frac{e^{-(x - \mu)/ \beta}}{\beta} e^{ -e^{-(x - \mu)/
                  \beta}},

        where :math:`\mu` is the mode, a location parameter, and
        :math:`\beta` is the scale parameter.

        The Gumbel (named for German mathematician Emil Julius Gumbel) was used
        very early in the hydrology literature, for modeling the occurrence of
        flood events. It is also used for modeling maximum wind speed and
        rainfall rates.  It is a "fat-tailed" distribution - the probability of
        an event in the tail of the distribution is larger than if one used a
        Gaussian, hence the surprisingly frequent occurrence of 100-year
        floods. Floods were initially modeled as a Gaussian process, which
        underestimated the frequency of extreme events.

        It is one of a class of extreme value distributions, the Generalized
        Extreme Value (GEV) distributions, which also includes the Weibull and
        Frechet.

        The function has a mean of :math:`\mu + 0.57721\beta` and a variance
        of :math:`\frac{\pi^2}{6}\beta^2`.

    hypergeometric(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        hypergeometric(ngood, nbad, nsample, size=None)

        Draw samples from a Hypergeometric distribution.

        Samples are drawn from a hypergeometric distribution with specified
        parameters, `ngood` (ways to make a good selection), `nbad` (ways to make
        a bad selection), and `nsample` (number of items sampled, which is less
        than or equal to the sum ``ngood + nbad``).

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``hypergeometric`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        ngood : int or array_like of ints
            Number of ways to make a good selection.  Must be nonnegative.
        nbad : int or array_like of ints
            Number of ways to make a bad selection.  Must be nonnegative.
        nsample : int or array_like of ints
            Number of items sampled.  Must be at least 1 and at most
            ``ngood + nbad``.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if `ngood`, `nbad`, and `nsample`
            are all scalars.  Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(ngood, nbad, nsample).size``
            samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized hypergeometric distribution. Each
            sample is the number of good items within a randomly selected subset of
            size `nsample` taken from a set of `ngood` good items and `nbad` bad items.

        See Also
        --------
        scipy.stats.hypergeom : probability density function, distribution or
            cumulative density function, etc.
        Generator.hypergeometric: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density for the Hypergeometric distribution is

        .. math:: P(x) = \frac{\binom{g}{x}\binom{b}{n-x}}{\binom{g+b}{n}},

        where :math:`0 \le x \le n` and :math:`n-b \le x \le g`

        for P(x) the probability of ``x`` good results in the drawn sample,
        g = `ngood`, b = `nbad`, and n = `nsample`.

        Consider an urn with black and white marbles in it, `ngood` of them
        are black and `nbad` are white. If you draw `nsample` balls without
        replacement, then the hypergeometric distribution describes the
        distribution of black balls in the drawn sample.

        Note that this distribution is very similar to the binomial
        distribution, except that in this case, samples are drawn without
        replacement, whereas in the Binomial case samples are drawn with
        replacement (or the sample space is infinite). As the sample space
        becomes large, this distribution approaches the binomial.

        Examples
        --------
        Draw samples from the distribution:

        >>> ngood, nbad, nsamp = 100, 2, 10
        # number of good, number of bad, and number of samples
        >>> s = np.random.hypergeometric(ngood, nbad, nsamp, 1000)
        >>> from matplotlib.pyplot import hist
        >>> hist(s)
        #   note that it is very unlikely to grab both bad items

        Suppose you have an urn with 15 white and 15 black marbles.
        If you pull 15 marbles at random, how likely is it that
        12 or more of them are one color?

        >>> s = np.random.hypergeometric(15, 15, 15, 100000)
        >>> sum(s>=12)/100000. + sum(s<=3)/100000.
        #   answer = 0.003 ... pretty unlikely!

    laplace(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        laplace(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=None)

        Draw samples from the Laplace or double exponential distribution with
        specified location (or mean) and scale (decay).

        The Laplace distribution is similar to the Gaussian/normal distribution,
        but is sharper at the peak and has fatter tails. It represents the
        difference between two independent, identically distributed exponential
        random variables.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``laplace`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        loc : float or array_like of floats, optional
            The position, :math:`\mu`, of the distribution peak. Default is 0.
        scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
            :math:`\lambda`, the exponential decay. Default is 1. Must be non-
            negative.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``loc`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(loc, scale).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized Laplace distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.laplace: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        It has the probability density function

        .. math:: f(x; \mu, \lambda) = \frac{1}{2\lambda}
                                       \exp\left(-\frac{|x - \mu|}{\lambda}\right).

        The first law of Laplace, from 1774, states that the frequency
        of an error can be expressed as an exponential function of the
        absolute magnitude of the error, which leads to the Laplace
        distribution. For many problems in economics and health
        sciences, this distribution seems to model the data better
        than the standard Gaussian distribution.

    logistic(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        logistic(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=None)

        Draw samples from a logistic distribution.

        Samples are drawn from a logistic distribution with specified
        parameters, loc (location or mean, also median), and scale (>0).

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``logistic`` method of a ``default_rng()``

        loc : float or array_like of floats, optional
            Parameter of the distribution. Default is 0.
        scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
            Parameter of the distribution. Must be non-negative.
            Default is 1.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then

        The probability density for the Logistic distribution is

        where :math:`\mu` = location and :math:`s` = scale.

        The Logistic distribution is used in Extreme Value problems where it
        can act as a mixture of Gumbel distributions, in Epidemiology, and by
        the World Chess Federation (FIDE) where it is used in the Elo ranking
        system, assuming the performance of each player is a logistically
        distributed random variable.

        Draw samples from a log-normal distribution with specified mean,
        standard deviation, and array shape.  Note that the mean and standard
        deviation are not the values for the distribution itself, but of the
        underlying normal distribution it is derived from.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``lognormal`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        mean : float or array_like of floats, optional
            Mean value of the underlying normal distribution. Default is 0.
        sigma : float or array_like of floats, optional
            Standard deviation of the underlying normal distribution. Must be
            non-negative. Default is 1.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``mean`` and ``sigma`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(mean, sigma).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized log-normal distribution.

        scipy.stats.lognorm : probability density function, distribution,
            cumulative density function, etc.

        Notes
        -----
        A variable `x` has a log-normal distribution if `log(x)` is normally
        distributed.  The probability density function for the log-normal
        distribution is:

        .. math:: p(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma x \sqrt{2\pi}}
                         e^{(-\frac{(ln(x)-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2})}

        where :math:`\mu` is the mean and :math:`\sigma` is the standard
        deviation of the normally distributed logarithm of the variable.
        A log-normal distribution results if a random variable is the *product*
        of a large number of independent, identically-distributed variables in
        the same way that a normal distribution results if the variable is the
        *sum* of a large number of independent, identically-distributed
        variables.

        Examples
        --------
        Draw samples from the distribution:

        >>> mu, sigma = 3., 1. # mean and standard deviation
        >>> s = np.random.lognormal(mu, sigma, 1000)

        Display the histogram of the samples, along with
        the probability density function:

        >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
        >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(s, 100, density=True, align='mid')

        >>> x = np.linspace(min(bins), max(bins), 10000)

        ...        / (x * sigma * np.sqrt(2 * np.pi)))

        >>> plt.plot(x, pdf, linewidth=2, color='r')
        >>> plt.axis('tight')
        >>> plt.show()

        Demonstrate that taking the products of random samples from a uniform
        distribution can be fit well by a log-normal probability density
        function.

        >>> # Generate a thousand samples: each is the product of 100 random
        >>> # values, drawn from a normal distribution.
        >>> b = []
        >>> for i in range(1000):
        ...    a = 10. + np.random.standard_normal(100)
        ...    b.append(np.product(a))

        >>> b = np.array(b) / np.min(b) # scale values to be positive
        >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(b, 100, density=True, align='mid')
        >>> sigma = np.std(np.log(b))
        >>> mu = np.mean(np.log(b))

        >>> x = np.linspace(min(bins), max(bins), 10000)
        >>> pdf = (np.exp(-(np.log(x) - mu)**2 / (2 * sigma**2))
        ...        / (x * sigma * np.sqrt(2 * np.pi)))

        >>> plt.plot(x, pdf, color='r', linewidth=2)
        >>> plt.show()

    logseries(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        logseries(p, size=None)

        Draw samples from a logarithmic series distribution.

        Samples are drawn from a log series distribution with specified
        shape parameter, 0 < ``p`` < 1.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``logseries`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        p : float or array_like of floats
            Shape parameter for the distribution.  Must be in the range (0, 1).
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``p`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
            ``np.array(p).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized logarithmic series distribution.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density for the Log Series distribution is

        .. math:: P(k) = \frac{-p^k}{k \ln(1-p)},

        where p = probability.

        The log series distribution is frequently used to represent species
        richness and occurrence, first proposed by Fisher, Corbet, and
        Williams in 1943 [2].  It may also be used to model the numbers of
        occupants seen in cars [3].

        Examples
        --------
        Draw samples from the distribution:

        >>> a = .6
        >>> s = np.random.logseries(a, 10000)
        >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    multinomial(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        multinomial(n, pvals, size=None)

        Draw samples from a multinomial distribution.

        The multinomial distribution is a multivariate generalization of the
        binomial distribution.  Take an experiment with one of ``p``
        possible outcomes.  An example of such an experiment is throwing a dice,
        where the outcome can be 1 through 6.  Each sample drawn from the
        distribution represents `n` such experiments.  Its values,
        ``X_i = [X_0, X_1, ..., X_p]``, represent the number of times the
        outcome was ``i``.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``multinomial`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        n : int
            Number of experiments.
        pvals : sequence of floats, length p
            Probabilities of each of the ``p`` different outcomes.  These
            must sum to 1 (however, the last element is always assumed to
            account for the remaining probability, as long as
            ``sum(pvals[:-1]) <= 1)``.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
            single value is returned.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray
            The drawn samples, of shape *size*, if that was provided.  If not,
            the shape is ``(N,)``.

            In other words, each entry ``out[i,j,...,:]`` is an N-dimensional
            value drawn from the distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.multinomial: which should be used for new code.

        Examples
        --------
        Throw a dice 20 times:

        >>> np.random.multinomial(20, [1/6.]*6, size=1)
        array([[4, 1, 7, 5, 2, 1]]) # random

        It landed 4 times on 1, once on 2, etc.

        Now, throw the dice 20 times, and 20 times again:

        >>> np.random.multinomial(20, [1/6.]*6, size=2)
        array([[3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 3], # random
               [2, 4, 3, 4, 0, 7]])

        For the first run, we threw 3 times 1, 4 times 2, etc.  For the second,
        we threw 2 times 1, 4 times 2, etc.

        A loaded die is more likely to land on number 6:

        >>> np.random.multinomial(100, [1/7.]*5 + [2/7.])
        array([11, 16, 14, 17, 16, 26]) # random

        The probability inputs should be normalized. As an implementation
        detail, the value of the last entry is ignored and assumed to take
        up any leftover probability mass, but this should not be relied on.
        A biased coin which has twice as much weight on one side as on the
        other should be sampled like so:

        >>> np.random.multinomial(100, [1.0 / 3, 2.0 / 3])  # RIGHT
        array([38, 62]) # random

        not like:

        >>> np.random.multinomial(100, [1.0, 2.0])  # WRONG
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ValueError: pvals < 0, pvals > 1 or pvals contains NaNs

    multivariate_normal(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        multivariate_normal(mean, cov, size=None, check_valid='warn', tol=1e-8)

        Draw random samples from a multivariate normal distribution.

        The multivariate normal, multinormal or Gaussian distribution is a
        generalization of the one-dimensional normal distribution to higher
        dimensions.  Such a distribution is specified by its mean and
        covariance matrix.  These parameters are analogous to the mean
        (average or "center") and variance (standard deviation, or "width,"
        squared) of the one-dimensional normal distribution.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``multivariate_normal`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        mean : 1-D array_like, of length N
            Mean of the N-dimensional distribution.
        cov : 2-D array_like, of shape (N, N)
            Covariance matrix of the distribution. It must be symmetric and
            positive-semidefinite for proper sampling.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Given a shape of, for example, ``(m,n,k)``, ``m*n*k`` samples are
            generated, and packed in an `m`-by-`n`-by-`k` arrangement.  Because
            each sample is `N`-dimensional, the output shape is ``(m,n,k,N)``.
            If no shape is specified, a single (`N`-D) sample is returned.
        check_valid : { 'warn', 'raise', 'ignore' }, optional
            Behavior when the covariance matrix is not positive semidefinite.
        tol : float, optional
            Tolerance when checking the singular values in covariance matrix.
            cov is cast to double before the check.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray
            The drawn samples, of shape *size*, if that was provided.  If not,
            the shape is ``(N,)``.

            In other words, each entry ``out[i,j,...,:]`` is an N-dimensional
            value drawn from the distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.multivariate_normal: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The mean is a coordinate in N-dimensional space, which represents the
        location where samples are most likely to be generated.  This is
        analogous to the peak of the bell curve for the one-dimensional or
        univariate normal distribution.

        Covariance indicates the level to which two variables vary together.
        From the multivariate normal distribution, we draw N-dimensional
        samples, :math:`X = [x_1, x_2, ... x_N]`.  The covariance matrix
        element :math:`C_{ij}` is the covariance of :math:`x_i` and :math:`x_j`.
        The element :math:`C_{ii}` is the variance of :math:`x_i` (i.e. its
        "spread").

        Instead of specifying the full covariance matrix, popular
        approximations include:

          - Spherical covariance (`cov` is a multiple of the identity matrix)
          - Diagonal covariance (`cov` has non-negative elements, and only on
            the diagonal)

        This geometrical property can be seen in two dimensions by plotting
        generated data-points:

        >>> mean = [0, 0]
        >>> cov = [[1, 0], [0, 100]]  # diagonal covariance

        Diagonal covariance means that points are oriented along x or y-axis:

        >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
        >>> x, y = np.random.multivariate_normal(mean, cov, 5000).T
        >>> plt.plot(x, y, 'x')
        >>> plt.axis('equal')
        >>> plt.show()

        Note that the covariance matrix must be positive semidefinite (a.k.a.
        nonnegative-definite). Otherwise, the behavior of this method is
        undefined and backwards compatibility is not guaranteed.

        The following is probably true, given that 0.6 is roughly twice the
        standard deviation:

        [True, True] # random

    negative_binomial(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        negative_binomial(n, p, size=None)

        Draw samples from a negative binomial distribution.

        Samples are drawn from a negative binomial distribution with specified
        parameters, `n` successes and `p` probability of success where `n`
        is > 0 and `p` is in the interval [0, 1].

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``negative_binomial`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        n : float or array_like of floats
            Parameter of the distribution, > 0.
        p : float or array_like of floats
            Parameter of the distribution, >= 0 and <=1.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``n`` and ``p`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(n, p).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized negative binomial distribution,
            where each sample is equal to N, the number of failures that
            occurred before a total of n successes was reached.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.negative_binomial: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability mass function of the negative binomial distribution is

        .. math:: P(N;n,p) = \frac{\Gamma(N+n)}{N!\Gamma(n)}p^{n}(1-p)^{N},

        where :math:`n` is the number of successes, :math:`p` is the
        probability of success, :math:`N+n` is the number of trials, and
        :math:`\Gamma` is the gamma function. When :math:`n` is an integer,
        :math:`\frac{\Gamma(N+n)}{N!\Gamma(n)} = \binom{N+n-1}{N}`, which is
        the more common form of this term in the the pmf. The negative
        binomial distribution gives the probability of N failures given n
        successes, with a success on the last trial.

        If one throws a die repeatedly until the third time a "1" appears,
        then the probability distribution of the number of non-"1"s that
        appear before the third "1" is a negative binomial distribution.

    noncentral_f(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        noncentral_f(dfnum, dfden, nonc, size=None)

        Draw samples from the noncentral F distribution.

        Samples are drawn from an F distribution with specified parameters,
        `dfnum` (degrees of freedom in numerator) and `dfden` (degrees of
        freedom in denominator), where both parameters > 1.
        `nonc` is the non-centrality parameter.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``noncentral_f`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        dfnum : float or array_like of floats
            Numerator degrees of freedom, must be > 0.

            .. versionchanged:: 1.14.0
               Earlier NumPy versions required dfnum > 1.
        dfden : float or array_like of floats
            Denominator degrees of freedom, must be > 0.
        nonc : float or array_like of floats
            Non-centrality parameter, the sum of the squares of the numerator
            means, must be >= 0.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``dfnum``, ``dfden``, and ``nonc``
            are all scalars.  Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(dfnum, dfden, nonc).size``
            samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized noncentral Fisher distribution.

        Notes
        -----
        When calculating the power of an experiment (power = probability of
        rejecting the null hypothesis when a specific alternative is true) the
        non-central F statistic becomes important.  When the null hypothesis is
        true, the F statistic follows a central F distribution. When the null
        hypothesis is not true, then it follows a non-central F statistic.

        In a study, testing for a specific alternative to the null hypothesis
        requires use of the Noncentral F distribution. We need to calculate the
        area in the tail of the distribution that exceeds the value of the F
        distribution for the null hypothesis.  We'll plot the two probability
        distributions for comparison.

    normal(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        normal(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=None)

        Draw random samples from a normal (Gaussian) distribution.

        The probability density function of the normal distribution, first
        derived by De Moivre and 200 years later by both Gauss and Laplace
        independently [2]_, is often called the bell curve because of
        its characteristic shape (see the example below).

        The normal distributions occurs often in nature.  For example, it
        describes the commonly occurring distribution of samples influenced
        by a large number of tiny, random disturbances, each with its own
        unique distribution [2]_.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``normal`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        loc : float or array_like of floats
            Mean ("centre") of the distribution.
        scale : float or array_like of floats
            Standard deviation (spread or "width") of the distribution. Must be
            non-negative.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``loc`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(loc, scale).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized normal distribution.

            cumulative density function, etc.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density for the Gaussian distribution is

        .. math:: p(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{ 2 \pi \sigma^2 }}
                         e^{ - \frac{ (x - \mu)^2 } {2 \sigma^2} },

        where :math:`\mu` is the mean and :math:`\sigma` the standard
        deviation. The square of the standard deviation, :math:`\sigma^2`,
        is called the variance.

        The function has its peak at the mean, and its "spread" increases with
        the standard deviation (the function reaches 0.607 times its maximum at
        :math:`x + \sigma` and :math:`x - \sigma` [2]_).  This implies that
        normal is more likely to return samples lying close to the mean, rather
        than those far away.

        Examples
        --------
        Draw samples from the distribution:

        >>> mu, sigma = 0, 0.1 # mean and standard deviation
        >>> s = np.random.normal(mu, sigma, 1000)

        Verify the mean and the variance:

        0.0  # may vary

        >>> abs(sigma - np.std(s, ddof=1))
        0.1  # may vary

        Display the histogram of the samples, along with
        the probability density function:

        >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
        >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(s, 30, density=True)
        >>> plt.plot(bins, 1/(sigma * np.sqrt(2 * np.pi)) *
        ...                np.exp( - (bins - mu)**2 / (2 * sigma**2) ),
        ...          linewidth=2, color='r')
        >>> plt.show()

        Two-by-four array of samples from N(3, 6.25):

        >>> np.random.normal(3, 2.5, size=(2, 4))
        array([[-4.49401501,  4.00950034, -1.81814867,  7.29718677],   # random
               [ 0.39924804,  4.68456316,  4.99394529,  4.84057254]])  # random

    pareto(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        pareto(a, size=None)

        Draw samples from a Pareto II or Lomax distribution with
        specified shape.

        The Lomax or Pareto II distribution is a shifted Pareto
        distribution. The classical Pareto distribution can be
        obtained from the Lomax distribution by adding 1 and
        multiplying by the scale parameter ``m`` (see Notes).  The
        smallest value of the Lomax distribution is zero while for the
        classical Pareto distribution it is ``mu``, where the standard
        Pareto distribution has location ``mu = 1``.  Lomax can also
        be considered as a simplified version of the Generalized
        Pareto distribution (available in SciPy), with the scale set
        to one and the location set to zero.

        The Pareto distribution must be greater than zero, and is
        unbounded above.  It is also known as the "80-20 rule".  In
        this distribution, 80 percent of the weights are in the lowest
        20 percent of the range, while the other 20 percent fill the
        remaining 80 percent of the range.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``pareto`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        a : float or array_like of floats
            Shape of the distribution. Must be positive.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``a`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
            ``np.array(a).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized Pareto distribution.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density for the Pareto distribution is

        .. math:: p(x) = \frac{am^a}{x^{a+1}}

        where :math:`a` is the shape and :math:`m` the scale.

        The Pareto distribution, named after the Italian economist
        Vilfredo Pareto, is a power law probability distribution
        useful in many real world problems.  Outside the field of
        economics it is generally referred to as the Bradford
        distribution. Pareto developed the distribution to describe
        the distribution of wealth in an economy.  It has also found
        use in insurance, web page access statistics, oil field sizes,
        and many other problems, including the download frequency for
        projects in Sourceforge [1]_.  It is one of the so-called
        "fat-tailed" distributions.

    poisson(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        poisson(lam=1.0, size=None)

        Draw samples from a Poisson distribution.

        The Poisson distribution is the limit of the binomial distribution
        for large N.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``poisson`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        lam : float or array_like of floats
            Expectation of interval, must be >= 0. A sequence of expectation
            intervals must be broadcastable over the requested size.

        The Poisson distribution

        .. math:: f(k; \lambda)=\frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}

        For events with an expected separation :math:`\lambda` the Poisson
        distribution :math:`f(k; \lambda)` describes the probability of
        :math:`k` events occurring within the observed
        interval :math:`\lambda`.

        Because the output is limited to the range of the C int64 type, a
        ValueError is raised when `lam` is within 10 sigma of the maximum
        representable value.

        .. math:: P(x; a) = ax^{a-1}, 0 \le x \le 1, a>0.

        The power function distribution is just the inverse of the Pareto
        distribution. It may also be seen as a special case of the Beta
        distribution.

        It is used, for example, in modeling the over-reporting of insurance
        claims.

        --------
        Draw samples from the distribution:

        >>> a = 5. # shape
        >>> samples = 1000
        >>> s = np.random.power(a, samples)

        Display the histogram of the samples, along with
        the probability density function:

        >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
        >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(s, bins=30)
        >>> x = np.linspace(0, 1, 100)

        >>> normed_y = samples*np.diff(bins)[0]*y
        >>> plt.plot(x, normed_y)
        >>> plt.show()

        Compare the power function distribution to the inverse of the Pareto.

        rand(d0, d1, ..., dn)

        Random values in a given shape.

        .. note::
            This is a convenience function for users porting code from Matlab,
            and wraps `random_sample`. That function takes a
            tuple to specify the size of the output, which is consistent with
            other NumPy functions like `numpy.zeros` and `numpy.ones`.

        Create an array of the given shape and populate it with
        random samples from a uniform distribution
        over ``[0, 1)``.

        Parameters
        ----------
        d0, d1, ..., dn : int, optional
            The dimensions of the returned array, must be non-negative.
            If no argument is given a single Python float is returned.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray, shape ``(d0, d1, ..., dn)``
            Random values.

    randint(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        randint(low, high=None, size=None, dtype=int)

        Return random integers from `low` (inclusive) to `high` (exclusive).

        Return random integers from the "discrete uniform" distribution of
        the specified dtype in the "half-open" interval [`low`, `high`). If
        `high` is None (the default), then results are from [0, `low`).

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``integers`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        low : int or array-like of ints
            Lowest (signed) integers to be drawn from the distribution (unless
            ``high=None``, in which case this parameter is one above the
            *highest* such integer).
        high : int or array-like of ints, optional
            If provided, one above the largest (signed) integer to be drawn
            from the distribution (see above for behavior if ``high=None``).
            If array-like, must contain integer values
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
            single value is returned.
        dtype : dtype, optional
            Desired dtype of the result. Byteorder must be native.
            The default value is int.

            .. versionadded:: 1.11.0

        Returns
        -------
        out : int or ndarray of ints
            `size`-shaped array of random integers from the appropriate
            distribution, or a single such random int if `size` not provided.

        See Also
        --------
        random_integers : similar to `randint`, only for the closed
            interval [`low`, `high`], and 1 is the lowest value if `high` is
            omitted.
        Generator.integers: which should be used for new code.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> np.random.randint(2, size=10)
        array([1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0]) # random
        >>> np.random.randint(1, size=10)
        array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])

        Generate a 2 x 4 array of ints between 0 and 4, inclusive:

        >>> np.random.randint(5, size=(2, 4))
        array([[4, 0, 2, 1], # random
               [3, 2, 2, 0]])

        Generate a 1 x 3 array with 3 different upper bounds

        >>> np.random.randint(1, [3, 5, 10])
        array([2, 2, 9]) # random

        >>> np.random.randint([1, 5, 7], 10)
        array([9, 8, 7]) # random

        Generate a 2 by 4 array using broadcasting with dtype of uint8

        >>> np.random.randint([1, 3, 5, 7], [[10], [20]], dtype=np.uint8)
        array([[ 8,  6,  9,  7], # random
               [ 1, 16,  9, 12]], dtype=uint8)

    randn(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        randn(d0, d1, ..., dn)

        Return a sample (or samples) from the "standard normal" distribution.

        .. note::
            This is a convenience function for users porting code from Matlab,
            and wraps `standard_normal`. That function takes a
            tuple to specify the size of the output, which is consistent with
            other NumPy functions like `numpy.zeros` and `numpy.ones`.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``standard_normal`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        If positive int_like arguments are provided, `randn` generates an array
        of shape ``(d0, d1, ..., dn)``, filled
        with random floats sampled from a univariate "normal" (Gaussian)
        distribution of mean 0 and variance 1. A single float randomly sampled
        from the distribution is returned if no argument is provided.

        Parameters
        ----------
        d0, d1, ..., dn : int, optional
            The dimensions of the returned array, must be non-negative.
            If no argument is given a single Python float is returned.

        Returns
        -------
        Z : ndarray or float
            A ``(d0, d1, ..., dn)``-shaped array of floating-point samples from
            the standard normal distribution, or a single such float if
            no parameters were supplied.

        See Also
        --------
        standard_normal : Similar, but takes a tuple as its argument.
        normal : Also accepts mu and sigma arguments.
        Generator.standard_normal: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        For random samples from :math:`N(\mu, \sigma^2)`, use:

        ``sigma * np.random.randn(...) + mu``

        Examples
        --------
        >>> np.random.randn()
        2.1923875335537315  # random

        Two-by-four array of samples from N(3, 6.25):

        >>> 3 + 2.5 * np.random.randn(2, 4)
        array([[-4.49401501,  4.00950034, -1.81814867,  7.29718677],   # random
               [ 0.39924804,  4.68456316,  4.99394529,  4.84057254]])  # random

    random(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        random(size=None)

        Return random floats in the half-open interval [0.0, 1.0). Alias for
        `random_sample` to ease forward-porting to the new random API.

    random_integers(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        random_integers(low, high=None, size=None)

        Random integers of type `np.int_` between `low` and `high`, inclusive.

        Return random integers of type `np.int_` from the "discrete uniform"
        distribution in the closed interval [`low`, `high`].  If `high` is
        None (the default), then results are from [1, `low`]. The `np.int_`
        type translates to the C long integer type and its precision
        is platform dependent.

        This function has been deprecated. Use randint instead.

        .. deprecated:: 1.11.0

        Parameters
        ----------
        low : int
            Lowest (signed) integer to be drawn from the distribution (unless
            ``high=None``, in which case this parameter is the *highest* such
            integer).
        high : int, optional
            If provided, the largest (signed) integer to be drawn from the
            distribution (see above for behavior if ``high=None``).
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
            single value is returned.

        Returns
        -------
        out : int or ndarray of ints
            `size`-shaped array of random integers from the appropriate
            distribution, or a single such random int if `size` not provided.

        See Also
        --------
        randint : Similar to `random_integers`, only for the half-open
            interval [`low`, `high`), and 0 is the lowest value if `high` is
            omitted.

        Notes
        -----
        To sample from N evenly spaced floating-point numbers between a and b,
        use::

          a + (b - a) * (np.random.random_integers(N) - 1) / (N - 1.)

        Examples
        --------
        >>> np.random.random_integers(5)
        4 # random
        >>> type(np.random.random_integers(5))
        <class 'numpy.int64'>
        >>> np.random.random_integers(5, size=(3,2))
        array([[5, 4], # random
               [3, 3],
               [4, 5]])

        Choose five random numbers from the set of five evenly-spaced
        numbers between 0 and 2.5, inclusive (*i.e.*, from the set
        :math:`{0, 5/8, 10/8, 15/8, 20/8}`):

        >>> 2.5 * (np.random.random_integers(5, size=(5,)) - 1) / 4.
        array([ 0.625,  1.25 ,  0.625,  0.625,  2.5  ]) # random

        Roll two six sided dice 1000 times and sum the results:

        >>> d1 = np.random.random_integers(1, 6, 1000)
        >>> d2 = np.random.random_integers(1, 6, 1000)
        >>> dsums = d1 + d2

        Display results as a histogram:

        >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
        >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(dsums, 11, density=True)
        >>> plt.show()

    random_sample(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        random_sample(size=None)

        Return random floats in the half-open interval [0.0, 1.0).

        Results are from the "continuous uniform" distribution over the
        stated interval.  To sample :math:`Unif[a, b), b > a` multiply
        the output of `random_sample` by `(b-a)` and add `a`::

          (b - a) * random_sample() + a

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``random`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
            single value is returned.

        Returns
        -------
        out : float or ndarray of floats
            Array of random floats of shape `size` (unless ``size=None``, in which
            case a single float is returned).

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.random: which should be used for new code.

        Three-by-two array of random numbers from [-5, 0):

        >>> 5 * np.random.random_sample((3, 2)) - 5
        array([[-3.99149989, -0.52338984], # random

    rayleigh(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        rayleigh(scale=1.0, size=None)

        Draw samples from a Rayleigh distribution.

        The :math:`\chi` and Weibull distributions are generalizations of the
        Rayleigh.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``rayleigh`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        scale : float or array_like of floats, optional
            Scale, also equals the mode. Must be non-negative. Default is 1.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``scale`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
            ``np.array(scale).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized Rayleigh distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.rayleigh: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density function for the Rayleigh distribution is

        .. math:: P(x;scale) = \frac{x}{scale^2}e^{\frac{-x^2}{2 \cdotp scale^2}}

        The Rayleigh distribution would arise, for example, if the East
        and North components of the wind velocity had identical zero-mean
        Gaussian distributions.  Then the wind speed would have a Rayleigh
        distribution.

        >>> from matplotlib.pyplot import hist
        >>> values = hist(np.random.rayleigh(3, 100000), bins=200, density=True)

        Wave heights tend to follow a Rayleigh distribution. If the mean wave
        height is 1 meter, what fraction of waves are likely to be larger than 3
        meters?

        >>> meanvalue = 1
        >>> modevalue = np.sqrt(2 / np.pi) * meanvalue
        >>> s = np.random.rayleigh(modevalue, 1000000)

        The percentage of waves larger than 3 meters is:

        >>> 100.*sum(s>3)/1000000.

    seed(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        seed(self, seed=None)

        Reseed a legacy MT19937 BitGenerator

        Notes
        -----
        This is a convenience, legacy function.

        The best practice is to **not** reseed a BitGenerator, rather to
        recreate a new one. This method is here for legacy reasons.
        This example demonstrates best practice.

        >>> from numpy.random import MT19937
        >>> from numpy.random import RandomState, SeedSequence
        >>> rs = RandomState(MT19937(SeedSequence(123456789)))
        # Later, you want to restart the stream
        >>> rs = RandomState(MT19937(SeedSequence(987654321)))

    set_state(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        set_state(state)

        Set the internal state of the generator from a tuple.

        For use if one has reason to manually (re-)set the internal state of
        the bit generator used by the RandomState instance. By default,
        RandomState uses the "Mersenne Twister"[1]_ pseudo-random number
        generating algorithm.

        Parameters
        ----------
        state : {tuple(str, ndarray of 624 uints, int, int, float), dict}
            The `state` tuple has the following items:

            1. the string 'MT19937', specifying the Mersenne Twister algorithm.
            2. a 1-D array of 624 unsigned integers ``keys``.
            3. an integer ``pos``.
            4. an integer ``has_gauss``.
            5. a float ``cached_gaussian``.

            If state is a dictionary, it is directly set using the BitGenerators
            `state` property.

        Returns
        -------
        out : None
            Returns 'None' on success.

        get_state

        Notes
        -----
        `set_state` and `get_state` are not needed to work with any of the
        random distributions in NumPy. If the internal state is manually altered,
        the user should know exactly what he/she is doing.

        For backwards compatibility, the form (str, array of 624 uints, int) is
        also accepted although it is missing some information about the cached
        Gaussian value: ``state = ('MT19937', keys, pos)``.

    shuffle(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        shuffle(x)

        Modify a sequence in-place by shuffling its contents.

        This function only shuffles the array along the first axis of a
        multi-dimensional array. The order of sub-arrays is changed but
        their contents remains the same.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``shuffle`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        x : array_like
            The array or list to be shuffled.

        Returns
        -------
        None

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.shuffle: which should be used for new code.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> arr = np.arange(10)
        >>> np.random.shuffle(arr)
        >>> arr
        [1 7 5 2 9 4 3 6 0 8] # random

        Multi-dimensional arrays are only shuffled along the first axis:

        >>> arr = np.arange(9).reshape((3, 3))
        >>> np.random.shuffle(arr)
        >>> arr
        array([[3, 4, 5], # random
               [6, 7, 8],
               [0, 1, 2]])

    standard_cauchy(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        standard_cauchy(size=None)

        Draw samples from a standard Cauchy distribution with mode = 0.

        Also known as the Lorentz distribution.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``standard_cauchy`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
            single value is returned.

        Returns
        -------
        samples : ndarray or scalar
            The drawn samples.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.standard_cauchy: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density function for the full Cauchy distribution is

        .. math:: P(x; x_0, \gamma) = \frac{1}{\pi \gamma \bigl[ 1+
                  (\frac{x-x_0}{\gamma})^2 \bigr] }

        and the Standard Cauchy distribution just sets :math:`x_0=0` and
        :math:`\gamma=1`

        The Cauchy distribution arises in the solution to the driven harmonic
        oscillator problem, and also describes spectral line broadening. It
        also describes the distribution of values at which a line tilted at
        a random angle will cut the x axis.

        When studying hypothesis tests that assume normality, seeing how the
        tests perform on data from a Cauchy distribution is a good indicator of
        their sensitivity to a heavy-tailed distribution, since the Cauchy looks
        very much like a Gaussian distribution, but with heavier tails.

    standard_exponential(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        standard_exponential(size=None)

        Draw samples from the standard exponential distribution.

        `standard_exponential` is identical to the exponential distribution
        with a scale parameter of 1.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``standard_exponential`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  Default is None, in which case a
            single value is returned.

        Returns
        -------
        out : float or ndarray
            Drawn samples.

    standard_gamma(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        standard_gamma(shape, size=None)

        Draw samples from a standard Gamma distribution.

        Samples are drawn from a Gamma distribution with specified parameters,
        shape (sometimes designated "k") and scale=1.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``standard_gamma`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        shape : float or array_like of floats
            Parameter, must be non-negative.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``shape`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
            ``np.array(shape).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized standard gamma distribution.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density for the Gamma distribution is

        .. math:: p(x) = x^{k-1}\frac{e^{-x/\theta}}{\theta^k\Gamma(k)},

        where :math:`k` is the shape and :math:`\theta` the scale,
        and :math:`\Gamma` is the Gamma function.

        The Gamma distribution is often used to model the times to failure of
        electronic components, and arises naturally in processes for which the
        waiting times between Poisson distributed events are relevant.

        standard_normal(size=None)

        Draw samples from a standard Normal distribution (mean=0, stdev=1).

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``standard_normal`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

    standard_t(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        standard_t(df, size=None)

        Draw samples from a standard Student's t distribution with `df` degrees
        of freedom.

        A special case of the hyperbolic distribution.  As `df` gets
        large, the result resembles that of the standard normal
        distribution (`standard_normal`).

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``standard_t`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        df : float or array_like of floats
            Degrees of freedom, must be > 0.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``df`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
            ``np.array(df).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized standard Student's t distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.standard_t: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density function for the t distribution is

        .. math:: P(x, df) = \frac{\Gamma(\frac{df+1}{2})}{\sqrt{\pi df}
                  \Gamma(\frac{df}{2})}\Bigl( 1+\frac{x^2}{df} \Bigr)^{-(df+1)/2}

        The t test is based on an assumption that the data come from a
        Normal distribution. The t test provides a way to test whether
        the sample mean (that is the mean calculated from the data) is
        a good estimate of the true mean.

        The derivation of the t-distribution was first published in
        1908 by William Gosset while working for the Guinness Brewery
        in Dublin. Due to proprietary issues, he had to publish under
        a pseudonym, and so he used the name Student.

        Examples
        --------
        From Dalgaard page 83 [1]_, suppose the daily energy intake for 11
        women in kilojoules (kJ) is:

        >>> intake = np.array([5260., 5470, 5640, 6180, 6390, 6515, 6805, 7515, \
        ...                    7515, 8230, 8770])

        Does their energy intake deviate systematically from the recommended
        value of 7725 kJ?

        We have 10 degrees of freedom, so is the sample mean within 95% of the
        recommended value?

        >>> s = np.random.standard_t(10, size=100000)
        >>> np.mean(intake)
        6753.636363636364
        >>> intake.std(ddof=1)
        1142.1232221373727

        Calculate the t statistic, setting the ddof parameter to the unbiased
        value so the divisor in the standard deviation will be degrees of
        freedom, N-1.

        >>> t = (np.mean(intake)-7725)/(intake.std(ddof=1)/np.sqrt(len(intake)))
        >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
        >>> h = plt.hist(s, bins=100, density=True)

        For a one-sided t-test, how far out in the distribution does the t
        statistic appear?

        >>> np.sum(s<t) / float(len(s))
        0.0090699999999999999  #random

        So the p-value is about 0.009, which says the null hypothesis has a
        probability of about 99% of being true.

    triangular(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        triangular(left, mode, right, size=None)

        Draw samples from the triangular distribution over the
        interval ``[left, right]``.

        The triangular distribution is a continuous probability
        distribution with lower limit left, peak at mode, and upper
        limit right. Unlike the other distributions, these parameters
        directly define the shape of the pdf.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``triangular`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        left : float or array_like of floats
            Lower limit.
        mode : float or array_like of floats
            The value where the peak of the distribution occurs.
            The value must fulfill the condition ``left <= mode <= right``.
        right : float or array_like of floats
            Upper limit, must be larger than `left`.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``left``, ``mode``, and ``right``
            are all scalars.  Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(left, mode, right).size``
            samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized triangular distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.triangular: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density function for the triangular distribution is

        .. math:: P(x;l, m, r) = \begin{cases}
                  \frac{2(x-l)}{(r-l)(m-l)}& \text{for $l \leq x \leq m$},\\
                  \frac{2(r-x)}{(r-l)(r-m)}& \text{for $m \leq x \leq r$},\\
                  0& \text{otherwise}.
                  \end{cases}

        The triangular distribution is often used in ill-defined
        problems where the underlying distribution is not known, but
        some knowledge of the limits and mode exists. Often it is used
        in simulations.

    uniform(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        uniform(low=0.0, high=1.0, size=None)

        Draw samples from a uniform distribution.

        Samples are uniformly distributed over the half-open interval
        ``[low, high)`` (includes low, but excludes high).  In other words,
        any value within the given interval is equally likely to be drawn
        by `uniform`.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``uniform`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        low : float or array_like of floats, optional
            Lower boundary of the output interval.  All values generated will be
            greater than or equal to low.  The default value is 0.
        high : float or array_like of floats
            Upper boundary of the output interval.  All values generated will be
            less than or equal to high.  The default value is 1.0.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``low`` and ``high`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(low, high).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns

        random : Alias for `random_sample`.
        rand : Convenience function that accepts dimensions as input, e.g.,
               ``rand(2,2)`` would generate a 2-by-2 array of floats,
               uniformly distributed over ``[0, 1)``.
        Generator.uniform: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density function of the uniform distribution is

        .. math:: p(x) = \frac{1}{b - a}

        anywhere within the interval ``[a, b)``, and zero elsewhere.

        When ``high`` == ``low``, values of ``low`` will be returned.
        If ``high`` < ``low``, the results are officially undefined
        and may eventually raise an error, i.e. do not rely on this
        function to behave when passed arguments satisfying that
        inequality condition. The ``high`` limit may be included in the
        returned array of floats due to floating-point rounding in the
        equation ``low + (high-low) * random_sample()``. For example:

        >>> x = np.float32(5*0.99999999)
        >>> x
        5.0

        Examples
        --------
        Draw samples from the distribution:

        >>> s = np.random.uniform(-1,0,1000)

        All values are within the given interval:

        >>> np.all(s >= -1)
        True
        >>> np.all(s < 0)
        True

        Display the histogram of the samples, along with the
        probability density function:

        >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
        >>> count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(s, 15, density=True)
        >>> plt.plot(bins, np.ones_like(bins), linewidth=2, color='r')
        >>> plt.show()

    vonmises(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        vonmises(mu, kappa, size=None)

        Draw samples from a von Mises distribution.

        Samples are drawn from a von Mises distribution with specified mode
        (mu) and dispersion (kappa), on the interval [-pi, pi].

        The von Mises distribution (also known as the circular normal
        distribution) is a continuous probability distribution on the unit
        circle.  It may be thought of as the circular analogue of the normal
        distribution.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``vonmises`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        mu : float or array_like of floats
            Mode ("center") of the distribution.
        kappa : float or array_like of floats
            Dispersion of the distribution, has to be >=0.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``mu`` and ``kappa`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(mu, kappa).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized von Mises distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        scipy.stats.vonmises : probability density function, distribution, or
            cumulative density function, etc.
        Generator.vonmises: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density for the von Mises distribution is

        .. math:: p(x) = \frac{e^{\kappa cos(x-\mu)}}{2\pi I_0(\kappa)},

        where :math:`\mu` is the mode and :math:`\kappa` the dispersion,
        and :math:`I_0(\kappa)` is the modified Bessel function of order 0.

        The von Mises is named for Richard Edler von Mises, who was born in
        Austria-Hungary, in what is now the Ukraine.  He fled to the United
        States in 1939 and became a professor at Harvard.  He worked in
        probability theory, aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, and philosophy of
        science.

    wald(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        wald(mean, scale, size=None)

        Draw samples from a Wald, or inverse Gaussian, distribution.

        As the scale approaches infinity, the distribution becomes more like a
        Gaussian. Some references claim that the Wald is an inverse Gaussian
        with mean equal to 1, but this is by no means universal.

        The inverse Gaussian distribution was first studied in relationship to
        Brownian motion. In 1956 M.C.K. Tweedie used the name inverse Gaussian
        because there is an inverse relationship between the time to cover a
        unit distance and distance covered in unit time.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``wald`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        mean : float or array_like of floats
            Distribution mean, must be > 0.
        scale : float or array_like of floats
            Scale parameter, must be > 0.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``mean`` and ``scale`` are both scalars.
            Otherwise, ``np.broadcast(mean, scale).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized Wald distribution.

        See Also
        --------
        Generator.wald: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density function for the Wald distribution is

        .. math:: P(x;mean,scale) = \sqrt{\frac{scale}{2\pi x^3}}e^
                                    \frac{-scale(x-mean)^2}{2\cdotp mean^2x}

        As noted above the inverse Gaussian distribution first arise
        from attempts to model Brownian motion. It is also a
        competitor to the Weibull for use in reliability modeling and
        modeling stock returns and interest rate processes.

    weibull(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        weibull(a, size=None)

        Draw samples from a Weibull distribution.

        Draw samples from a 1-parameter Weibull distribution with the given
        shape parameter `a`.

        .. math:: X = (-ln(U))^{1/a}

        Here, U is drawn from the uniform distribution over (0,1].

        The more common 2-parameter Weibull, including a scale parameter
        :math:`\lambda` is just :math:`X = \lambda(-ln(U))^{1/a}`.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``weibull`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        a : float or array_like of floats
            Shape parameter of the distribution.  Must be nonnegative.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``a`` is a scalar.  Otherwise,
            ``np.array(a).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized Weibull distribution.

        Generator.weibull: which should be used for new code.

        Notes
        -----
        The Weibull (or Type III asymptotic extreme value distribution
        for smallest values, SEV Type III, or Rosin-Rammler
        distribution) is one of a class of Generalized Extreme Value
        (GEV) distributions used in modeling extreme value problems.
        This class includes the Gumbel and Frechet distributions.

        The probability density for the Weibull distribution is

        .. math:: p(x) = \frac{a}
                         {\lambda}(\frac{x}{\lambda})^{a-1}e^{-(x/\lambda)^a},

        where :math:`a` is the shape and :math:`\lambda` the scale.

        The function has its peak (the mode) at
        :math:`\lambda(\frac{a-1}{a})^{1/a}`.

        When ``a = 1``, the Weibull distribution reduces to the exponential
        distribution.

    zipf(...) method of numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState instance
        zipf(a, size=None)

        Draw samples from a Zipf distribution.

        Samples are drawn from a Zipf distribution with specified parameter
        `a` > 1.

        The Zipf distribution (also known as the zeta distribution) is a
        continuous probability distribution that satisfies Zipf's law: the
        frequency of an item is inversely proportional to its rank in a
        frequency table.

        .. note::
            New code should use the ``zipf`` method of a ``default_rng()``
            instance instead; please see the :ref:`random-quick-start`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        a : float or array_like of floats
            Distribution parameter. Must be greater than 1.
        size : int or tuple of ints, optional
            Output shape.  If the given shape is, e.g., ``(m, n, k)``, then
            ``m * n * k`` samples are drawn.  If size is ``None`` (default),
            a single value is returned if ``a`` is a scalar. Otherwise,
            ``np.array(a).size`` samples are drawn.

        Returns
        -------
        out : ndarray or scalar
            Drawn samples from the parameterized Zipf distribution.

        Notes
        -----
        The probability density for the Zipf distribution is

        .. math:: p(x) = \frac{x^{-a}}{\zeta(a)},

        where :math:`\zeta` is the Riemann Zeta function.

        It is named for the American linguist George Kingsley Zipf, who noted
        that the frequency of any word in a sample of a language is inversely
        proportional to its rank in the frequency table.

        Examples
        --------
        Draw samples from the distribution:

        >>> a = 2. # parameter

        >>> x = np.arange(1., 50.)
        >>> y = x**(-a) / special.zetac(a)  # doctest: +SKIP
