Hi, I’m on the lookout for the equivalent of [numpy.random.choice()]( numpy.random.choice — NumPy v1.15 Manual ). I want to generate random indices based on non-uniform random sampling. For example, I can do this with Numpy by passing a list of the associated probability of each entry as: rand_id…

What is the equivalent of numpy.random.choice for generating a non-uniform random sample based on a user supplied probability?
