mindspore.ops.gamma

mindspore.ops.gamma(shape, alpha, beta, seed=None)[source]

Generates random numbers according to the Gamma random number distribution.

Support broadcasting.

Warning

  • The Ascend backend does not support the reproducibility of random numbers, so the seed parameter has no effect.

  • Starting after version 2.9.0, this API will undergo an incompatible change: this sampling interface will be changed to a distribution object form. Please use the corresponding distribution class instead.

Parameters

  • shape (tuple) – The shape specified.

  • alpha (Tensor) – The shape parameter.

  • beta (Tensor) – The inverse scale parameter.

  • seed (int, optional) – The random seed, Default None .

Returns

Tensor

Supported Platforms:

Ascend

Examples

>>> import mindspore
>>> # case 1: alpha_shape is (2, 2)
>>> shape = (3, 1, 2)
>>> alpha = mindspore.tensor([[3, 4], [5, 6]], mindspore.float32)
>>> beta = mindspore.tensor([1.0], mindspore.float32)
>>> output = mindspore.ops.gamma(shape, alpha, beta, seed=5)
>>> result = output.shape
>>> print(result)
(3, 2, 2)
>>> # case 2: alpha_shape is (2, 3), so shape is (3, 1, 3)
>>> shape = (3, 1, 3)
>>> alpha = mindspore.tensor([[1, 3, 4], [2, 5, 6]], mindspore.float32)
>>> beta = mindspore.tensor([1.0], mindspore.float32)
>>> output = mindspore.ops.gamma(shape, alpha, beta, seed=5)
>>> result = output.shape
>>> print(result)
(3, 2, 3)
>>> # case 3: beta_shape is (1, 2), the output is different.
>>> shape = (3, 1, 2)
>>> alpha = mindspore.tensor([[3, 4], [5, 6]], mindspore.float32)
>>> beta = mindspore.tensor([1.0, 2], mindspore.float32)
>>> output = mindspore.ops.gamma(shape, alpha, beta, seed=5)
