scipy.stats.frechet_l

scipy.stats.frechet_l = <scipy.stats._continuous_distns.frechet_l_gen object>

A frechet_l continuous random variable.

As an instance of the rv_continuous class, frechet_l object inherits from it a collection of generic methods (see below for the full list), and completes them with details specific for this particular distribution.

Examples

>>> from scipy.stats import frechet_l
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)

Calculate a few first moments:

>>> c =
>>> mean, var, skew, kurt = frechet_l.stats(c, moments='mvsk')

Display the probability density function (pdf):

>>> x = np.linspace(frechet_l.ppf(0.01, c),
...                 frechet_l.ppf(0.99, c), 100)
>>> ax.plot(x, frechet_l.pdf(x, c),
...        'r-', lw=5, alpha=0.6, label='frechet_l pdf')

Alternatively, the distribution object can be called (as a function) to fix the shape, location and scale parameters. This returns a “frozen” RV object holding the given parameters fixed.

Freeze the distribution and display the frozen pdf:

>>> rv = frechet_l(c)
>>> ax.plot(x, rv.pdf(x), 'k-', lw=2, label='frozen pdf')

Check accuracy of cdf and ppf:

>>> vals = frechet_l.ppf([0.001, 0.5, 0.999], c)
>>> np.allclose([0.001, 0.5, 0.999], frechet_l.cdf(vals, c))
True

Generate random numbers:

>>> r = frechet_l.rvs(c, size=1000)

And compare the histogram:

>>> ax.hist(r, density=True, histtype='stepfilled', alpha=0.2)
>>> ax.legend(loc='best', frameon=False)
>>> plt.show()

Methods

rvs(c, loc=0, scale=1, size=1, random_state=None)	Random variates.
