random_state(state: 'RandomState | None' = None)

Parameters

state : int, array-like, BitGenerator, Generator, np.random.RandomState, None.

If receives an int, array-like, or BitGenerator, passes to np.random.RandomState() as seed. If receives an np.random RandomState or Generator, just returns that unchanged. If receives :None:None:`None`, returns np.random. If receives anything else, raises an informative ValueError.

versionchanged

array-like and BitGenerator object now passed to np.random.RandomState() as seed

Default None.

Returns

np.random.RandomState or np.random.Generator. If state is None, returns np.random

Helper function for processing random_state arguments.

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
