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.

Python3




# 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 :

Python3




# 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 :
