mlresearch.utils.check_random_states

mlresearch.utils.check_random_states(random_state, n_runs)

Create random states for experiments. Used to create seeds for different initializations.

Parameters:

random_stateint, RandomState instance, default=None

Control the randomization of the algorithm.

• If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator;

• If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator;

• If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by np.random.

n_runsint

Number of initializations.

Returns:

random_stateslist

A list of random states with length n_runs.
