pyarts3.arts.random.cauchy_distribution

random.cauchy_distribution(N: int = 1, location: float = 0.0, scale: float = 1.0) → pyarts3.arts.Vector

Generate random numbers following a Cauchy/Lorentz distribution

Wraps std::cauchy_distribution from the C++ standard library.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Parameters:

• N (int) – Number of random numbers to generate. Default is 1.

• location (float) – Location parameter of the cauchy distribution. Default is 0.0.

• scale (float) – Scale parameter of the cauchy distribution. Default is 1.0.

Returns:

The distribution

Return type:

Vector
