numpy.random.zipf() in Python

With the help of numpy.random.zipf() method, we can get the random samples from zipf distribution and return the random samples as numpy array by using this method.

Zipf distribution

Syntax : numpy.random.zipf(a, size=None)



Return : Return the random samples as numpy array. 

Example #1 :



In this example we can see that by using numpy.random.zipf() method, we are able to get the random samples from zipf distribution and return the random samples as numpy array.




# import numpy
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
# Using zipf() method
gfg = np.random.zipf(2.7, 5000)
  
plt.hist(gfg, bins = 50, density = True)
plt.show()

Output :

Example #2 :




# import numpy
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
# Using zipf() method
gfg = np.random.zipf(4, 10000)
  
plt.hist(gfg, bins = 50, density = True)
plt.show()

Output :
