# numpy.matlib.rand

matlib.rand(*args)

  Return a matrix of random values with given shape.

  Create a matrix of the given shape and propagate it with random samples from a uniform distribution over `[0, 1)`.

  Parameters:
    *args Arguments

      Shape of the output. If given as N integers, each integer specifies the size of one dimension. If given as a tuple, this tuple gives the complete shape.

  Returns:
    out ndarray

      The matrix of random values with shape given by *args.

  Examples

      >>> np.random.seed(123)
      >>> import numpy.matlib
      >>> np.matlib.rand(2, 3)
      matrix([[0.69646919, 0.28613933, 0.22685145],
              [0.55131477, 0.71946897, 0.42310646]])
      >>> np.matlib.rand((2, 3))
      matrix([[0.9807642 , 0.68482974, 0.4809319 ],
              [0.39211752, 0.34317802, 0.72904971]])

  If the first argument is a tuple, other arguments are ignored:

      >>> np.matlib.rand((2, 3), 4)
      matrix([[0.43857224, 0.0596779 , 0.39804426],
              [0.73799541, 0.18249173, 0.17545176]])
