scipy stats.gompertz() | Python

scipy.stats.gompertz() is an Gompertz (or truncated Gumbel) continuous random variable that is defined with a standard format and some shape parameters to complete its specification.

Parameters :
-> q : lower and upper tail probability
-> x : quantiles
-> loc : [optional]location parameter. Default = 0
-> scale : [optional]scale parameter. Default = 1
-> size : [tuple of ints, optional] shape or random variates.
-> moments : [optional] composed of letters [‘mvsk’]; ‘m’ = mean, ‘v’ = variance, ‘s’ = Fisher’s skew and ‘k’ = Fisher’s kurtosis. (default = ‘mv’).

Results : Gompertz (or truncated Gumbel) continuous random variable

Code #1 : Creating Gompertz (or truncated Gumbel) continuous random variable




from scipy.stats import gompertz 
  
numargs = gompertz.numargs
[a] = [0.7, ] * numargs
rv = gompertz(a)
  
print ("RV : \n", rv) 


Output :

RV : 
 <scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x000001E39A3E2470>

Code #2 : Gompertz (or truncated Gumbel) random variates and probability distribution




import numpy as np
quantile = np.arange (0.01, 1, 0.1)
   
# Random Variates
R = gompertz.rvs(a, scale = 2,  size = 10)
print ("Random Variates : \n", R)
  
# PDF
R = gompertz.pdf(a, quantile, loc = 0, scale = 1)
print ("\nProbability Distribution : \n", R)


Output :

Random Variates : 
 [1.29938059 1.47547887 1.33324567 1.79424061 0.45304378 1.46222247
 1.29260365 0.59989705 3.58467676 1.81226267]

Probability Distribution :

 0.66187043 0.69610503 0.71758726 0.72845776]

Code #3 : Graphical Representation.




import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
distribution = np.linspace(0, np.minimum(rv.dist.b, 3))
print("Distribution : \n", distribution)
  
plot = plt.plot(distribution, rv.pdf(distribution))


Output :

Code #4 : Varying Positional Arguments




import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
  
x = np.linspace(0, 5, 100)
  
# Varying positional arguments
y1 = gompertz.pdf(x, 1, 3)
y2 = gompertz.pdf(x, 1, 4)
plt.plot(x, y1, "*", x, y2, "r--")
