scipy stats.halfgennorm() | Python

scipy.stats.halfgennorm() is an upper half of a generalized normal continuous random variable. To complete its specificaitons, it is defined with a standard format and some shape parameters. The object object inherits from it a collection of generic methods and completes them with details specific.

Parameters :

-> α : scale
-> β : shape
-> μ : location
Code #1 : Creating Half-generalized normal continuous random variable




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


Output:

RV : 
 scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x0000021FB55D8DD8

Code #2 : Half-generalized random variates and probability distribution




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


Output:

Random Variates : 
 [1.41299459e+03 3.51301175e+04 1.79981484e+05 2.90925518e+02

 2.02263946e+04 1.97078668e+04]

Probability Distribution : 
 [0.00559658 0.0043805  0.00400834 0.0037776  0.00360957 0.00347731
 0.00336825 0.00327549 0.00319482 0.00312348]

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