ClikaRT::ops::normal

function

normal()

Tensor normal(
    ScalarOrTensor mean,
    ScalarOrTensor stddev,
    ClikaRT::Span<const ScalarOrTensor> shape,
    StreamOrDevice s = {}
)

Normal draws with the given mean and standard deviation.

$$x \sim \mathcal{N}(\mu, \sigma^2)$$

mean and stddev are scalars or tensors broadcast over shape.

Parameters

• mean: the distribution mean (scalar or broadcastable tensor).
• stddev: the standard deviation (scalar or broadcastable tensor); must be positive.
• shape: the output shape.
• s: stream or device; default = the default device.

Returns: a shape-shaped tensor of draws.

Throws

• ClikaRT::Error: (INVALID_ARGUMENT) on a non-positive stddev or a non-broadcastable operand.
