Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

Adds a column of deterministic pseudorandom numbers to a collection. The outputs are double-precision floating point numbers. When using the 'uniform' distribution (default), outputs are in the range of [0, 1). Using the 'normal' distribution, outputs have μ=0, σ=1, but have no explicit limits.
