ee.Image.random
Generates a random number at each pixel location. When using the 'uniform' distribution, outputs are in the range of [0, 1). Using the 'normal' distribution, the outputs have μ=0, σ=1, but no explicit limits.

| Argument | Type | Details |

seed | Long, default: 0 | Seed for the random number generator. |
distribution | String, default: "uniform" | The distribution type of random numbers to produce. One of 'uniform' or 'normal'. |
