dragon.random.truncated_normal(
  shape,
  mean=0,
  std=1,
  dtype='float32',
  **kwargs
)[source]

Return a tensor initialized from the truncated normal distribution.

\[\text{out} \sim \mathcal{TN}(\mu, \sigma^{2}, \mu - 2\sigma, \mu + 2\sigma) \]
Parameters:
  • shape (Sequence[Union[int, dragon.Tensor]]) The tensor shape.
  • mean (number, optional, default=0) The value to \(\mu\).
  • std (number, optional, default=1) The value to \(\sigma\).
  • dtype (str, optional, default='float32') The optional data type.
Returns:

dragon.Tensor The output tensor.
