*Memos:
- [Warning]-normal() is really tricky.
- You can use manual_seed() with normal(). *My post explains
manual_seed()
. - My post explains rand() and rand_like().
- My post explains randn() and randn_like().
- My post explains randint() and randperm().
normal() can create the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more random floating-point numbers or complex numbers from normal distribution as shown below:
*Memos:
-
normal()
can be used with torch but not with a tensor. - The 1st argument with
torch
ismean
(Required-Type:float
orcomplex
ortensor
offloat
orcomplex
): *Memos:- Setting
mean
withoutstd
andsize
istensor
offloat
orcomplex
. - Setting
mean
andstd
withoutsize
isfloat
ortensor
offloat
orcomplex
. - Setting

,std
andsize
isfloat
ortensor
offloat
. *The 0D tensor offloat
also works.
- Setting
- The 2nd argument with
torch
isstd
(Optional-Type:float
ortensor
offloat
): *Memos:- It is standard deviation.
- It must be greater than or equal to 0.
- Setting
std
withoutsize
isfloat
ortensor
offloat
. - Setting
std
withsize
isfloat
ortensor
offloat
. *The 0D tensor offloat
also works.
- The 3rd argument with
torch
issize
(Optional-Type:tuple
ofint
,list
ofint
or size()): *Memos:- It must be used with
std
. - It must not be negative.
- It must be used with
- There is
dtype
argument withtorch
(Optional-Default:None
-Type:dtype): *Memos:- If it's
None
, it's inferred frommean
orstd
, then for floating-point numbers, get_default_dtype() is used. *My post explainsget_default_dtype()
and set_default_dtype(). -
dtype=
must be used. -
My post explains
dtype
argument.
- If it's
- There is
device
argument withtorch
(Optional-Default:None
-Type:str
,int
or device()): *Memos:- If it's
None
, get_default_device() is used. *My post explainsget_default_device()
and set_default_device(). -
device=
must be used. -
My post explains
device
argument.
- If it's
- There is
requires_grad
argument withtorch
(Optional-Default:False
-Type:bool
): *Memos:-
requires_grad=
must be used. -
My post explains
requires_grad
argument.
-
- There is
out
argument withtorch
(Optional-Default:None
-Type:tensor
): *Memos:-
out=
must be used. -

argument.
