Python – Wrapped Cauchy Distribution in Statistics

scipy.stats.wrapcauchy() is a wrapped Cauchy 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 : wrapped Cauchy continuous random variable

Code #1 : Creating wrapped Cauchy continuous random variable




# importing library
  
from scipy.stats import wrapcauchy 
    
numargs = wrapcauchy .numargs 
a, b = 0.2, 0.8
rv = wrapcauchy (a, b) 
    
print ("RV : \n", rv)  


Output :

RV : 
 scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x000002A9DB1EFEC8

Code #2 : wrapped Cauchy continuous variates and probability distribution




import numpy as np 
quantile = np.arange (0.01, 1, 0.1
  
# Random Variates 
R = wrapcauchy .rvs(a, b, size = 10
print ("Random Variates : \n", R) 
  
# PDF 
x = np.linspace(wrapcauchy.ppf(0.01, a, b),
                wrapcauchy.ppf(0.99, a, b), 10)
R = wrapcauchy.pdf(x, 1, 3)
print ("\nProbability Distribution : \n", R) 


Output :

Random Variates : 
 [4.86261249 3.08013229 2.12625546 2.11690773 4.07188434 3.3251514
 1.23202529 3.38334847 1.22842627 6.35459436]

Probability Distribution : 
 [nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan]

Code #3 : Graphical Representation.




import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
     
distribution = np.linspace(0, np.minimum(rv.dist.b, 2)) 
print("Distribution : \n", 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 = wrapcauchy.pdf(x, a, b) 
y2 = wrapcauchy.pdf(x, a, b) 
plt.plot(x, y1, "*", x, y2, "r--"
