# basic – Low-level random numbers¶

The aesara.tensor.random module provides random-number drawing functionality that closely resembles the numpy.random module.

## Reference¶

class aesara.tensor.random.RandomStream[source]

A helper class that tracks changes in a shared numpy.random.RandomState and behaves like numpy.random.RandomState by managing access to RandomVariables. For example:

from aesara.tensor.random.utils import RandomStream

rng = RandomStream()
sample = rng.normal(0, 1, size=(2, 2))

class aesara.tensor.random.RandomStateType(Type)[source]

A Type for variables that will take numpy.random.RandomState values.

aesara.tensor.random.random_state_type(name=None)[source]

Return a new Variable whose Variable.type is an instance of RandomStateType.

class aesara.tensor.random.RandomVariable(Op)[source]

Op that draws random numbers from a numpy.random.RandomState object. This Op is parameterized to draw numbers from many possible distributions.

## Distributions¶

Aesara can produce RandomVariables that draw samples from many different statistical distributions, using the following Ops. The RandomVariables behave similarly to NumPy’s Generalized Universal Functions (or gunfunc): it supports “core” random variable Ops that map distinctly shaped inputs to potentially non-scalar outputs. We document this behavior in the following with gufunc-like signatures.
