scipy.stats.halfcauchy() is an Half-Cauchy 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 : Half-Cauchy continuous random variable
Code #1 : Creating Half-Cauchy continuous random variable
from scipy.stats import halfcauchy    numargs = halfcauchy.numargs [] = [0.7, ] * numargs rv = halfcauchy)   print ("RV : \n", rv) |
Output :
RV : <scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x000001E39A272470>
Code #2 : Half-Cauchy random variates and probability distribution
import numpy as np quantile = np.arange (0.01, 1, 0.1)    # Random Variates R = halfcauchy.rvs(scale = 2, size = 10) print ("Random Variates : \n", R)   # PDF R = halfcauchy.pdf(quantile, loc = 0, scale = 1) print ("\nProbability Distribution : \n", R) |
Output :
