scipy stats.fatiguelife() | Python

scipy.stats.fatiguelife() is an fatigue-life (Birnbaum-Sanders) 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 : fatigue-life (Birnbaum-Sanders) continuous random variable

Code #1 : Creating fatigue-life continuous random variable




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


Output :

RV : 
 <scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x0000018D567B8400>

Code #2 : fatigue-life random variates and probability distribution.




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


Output :

Random Variates : 
 [ 1.5759368   1.73788302  2.31297609  1.0005871   1.49635022 11.98492239
  2.51785146  4.0096255   0.5654246   0.97502712]

Probability Distribution : 
 [3.74431292e-278 2.59381847e-002 6.41771315e-001 9.56754833e-001

 6.48103032e-001 5.88743459e-001]
 

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 = fatiguelife.pdf(x, 1, 3)
y2 = fatiguelife.pdf(x, 1, 4)
plt.plot(x, y1, "*", x, y2, "r--")
