tf.truncated_normal

truncated_normal(
shape,
mean=0.0,
stddev=1.0,
dtype=tf.float32,
seed=None,
name=None
)
Defined in tensorflow/python/ops/random_ops.py.

Outputs random values from a truncated normal distribution.

The generated values follow a normal distribution with specified mean and standard deviation, except that values whose magnitude is more than 2 standard deviations from the mean are dropped and re-picked.

Args:

shape: A 1-D integer Tensor or Python array. The shape of the output tensor.
mean: A 0-D Tensor or Python value of type dtype. The mean of the truncated normal distribution.
stddev: A 0-D Tensor or Python value of type dtype. The standard deviation（标准差） of the truncated normal distribution.
dtype: The type of the output.
seed: A Python integer. Used to create a random seed for the distribution. See tf.set_random_seed for behavior.
name: A name for the operation (optional).

Returns:

A tensor of the specified shape filled with random truncated normal values.
