cunumeric.random.vonmises(mu, kappa, size=None)#

Draw samples from a von Mises distribution.

Samples are drawn from a von Mises distribution with specified mode (mu) and dispersion (kappa), on the interval [-pi, pi].

The von Mises distribution (also known as the circular normal distribution) is a continuous probability distribution on the unit circle. It may be thought of as the circular analogue of the normal distribution.

Parameters:

mu (float) – Mode (“center”) of the distribution.
kappa (float) – Dispersion of the distribution, has to be >=0.
size (int or tuple of ints, optional) – Output shape. If the given shape is, e.g., (m, n, k), then m * n * k samples are drawn. Default is None, in which case a single value is returned.

Returns:

out – Drawn samples from the parameterized von Mises distribution.

Return type:

ndarray or scalar
