• What is Random Permutation?
• NumPy Permutation function
• NumPy Shuffle function

Random Permutation

Permutation is a mathematical term and permutation of a set is defined as the arrangement of its elements in an sequence or a linear order and if it is already arranged then permutation is the rearrangement of its elements in another sequence. The number of permutations for a specific data set can be calculated using a formula. NumPy provides following 2 functions for carrying out the permutation.

• Permutation() function
• Shuffle() function
