scipy.stats.maxwell() is a Maxwell (Pareto of the second kind) continuous random variable. It is inherited from the of generic methods as an instance of the rv_continuous class. It completes the methods with details specific for this particular distribution.
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 : Maxwell continuous random variable
Code #1 : Creating Maxwell continuous random variable
# importing library from scipy.stats import maxwell numargs = maxwell.numargs a, b = 4.32, 3.18rv = maxwell(a, b) print ("RV : \n", rv) |
Output :
RV : scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x000002A9D66DEC88
Code #2 : Maxwell continuous variates and probability distribution
import numpy as np quantile = np.arange (0.01, 1, 0.1) # Random Variates R = maxwell.rvs(a, b) print ("Random Variates : \n", R) # PDF R = maxwell.pdf(a, b, quantile) print ("\nProbability Distribution : \n", R) |
Output :
Random Variates : 8.999401872992793 Probability Distribution : [0.00000000e+00 3.70579394e-21 4.46576264e-05 4.02803131e-02 3.15216150e-01 6.42768234e-01 7.96800760e-01 7.98281605e-01 7.24720266e-01 6.27826999e-01]
