jax.random.double_sided_maxwell#

jax.random.double_sided_maxwell(key, loc, scale, shape=(), dtype=<class 'float'>)[source]#

Sample from a double sided Maxwell distribution.

The values are distributed according to the probability density function:

\[f(x;\mu,\sigma) \propto z^2 e^{-z^2 / 2}\]

where \(z = (x - \mu) / \sigma\), with the center \(\mu\) specified by loc and the scale \(\sigma\) specified by scale.

Parameters:

  • key (ArrayLike) – a PRNG key.

  • loc (RealArray) – The location parameter of the distribution.

  • scale (RealArray) – The scale parameter of the distribution.

  • shape (Shape) – The shape added to the parameters loc and scale broadcastable shape.

  • dtype (DTypeLikeFloat) – The type used for samples.

Returns:

A jnp.array of samples.

Return type:

Array
