clifford.randomMV

clifford.randomMV(layout: clifford._layout.Layout, min=-2.0, max=2.0, grades=None, mvClass=<class 'clifford._multivector.MultiVector'>, uniform=None, n=1, normed: bool = False, rng=None)[source]

n Random MultiVectors with given layout.

Coefficients are between min and max, and if grades is a list of integers, only those grades will be non-zero.

Parameters
  • layout (Layout) – the layout

  • min (Number) – range of values from which to uniformly sample coefficients

  • max (Number) – range of values from which to uniformly sample coefficients

  • grades (int, List[int]) – grades which should have non-zero coefficients. If None, defaults to all grades. A single integer is treated as a list of one integers.

  • uniform (Callable[[Number, Number, Tuple[int, ...]], np.ndarray]) – A function like np.random.uniform. Defaults to rng.uniform.

  • n (int) – The number of samples to generate. If n > 1, this function returns a list instead of a single multivector

  • normed (bool) – If true, call MultiVector.normal() on each multivector. Note that this does not result in a uniform sampling of directions.

  • rng – The random number state to use. Typical use would be to construct a generator with numpy.random.default_rng().
