For the PyTorch.randn() method the documentation says:
Returns a tensor filled with random numbers from a normal distribution with mean
0
and variance1
(also called the standard normal distribution).
So here is an example tensor:
x = torch.randn(4,3)
tensor([[-0.6569, -0.7337, -0.0028],
[-0.3938, 0.3223, 0.0497],
[ 0.0129, -2.7546, -2.2488],
[ 1.6754, -0.1497, 1.8202]])
When I print the mean:
x.mean()
tensor(-0.2550)
When I print the standard deviation:
x.std()
tensor(1.3225)
So why isn't the mean 0 and the standard deviation 1?
Bonus question: How do I generate a random tensor that always has a mean of 0?
