"""Helpers for random number generators."""
import numpy as np
def ensure_rng(rng=None):
"""Coerces input into a random number generator.
If the input is None, then a global random state is returned.
If the input is a numeric value, then that is used as a seed to construct a
random state. Otherwise the input is returned as-is.
Adapted from [1]_.
Args:
rng (int | numpy.random.RandomState | None):
if None, then defaults to the global rng. Otherwise this can be an
integer or a RandomState class
Returns:
(numpy.random.RandomState) : rng -
a numpy random number generator
