# exponential module¶

Computation of tolerance intervals from a data-fitted exponential distribution.

Classes:

 ExponentialToleranceInterval(size, rate, …) Computation of tolerance intervals from a data-fitted exponential distribution.
class gemseo.uncertainty.statistics.tolerance_interval.exponential.ExponentialToleranceInterval(size, rate, location)[source]

Computation of tolerance intervals from a data-fitted exponential distribution.

The formulae come from the R library tolerance 1.

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Parameters
• size (int) – The number of samples.

• rate (float) – The estimation of the rate of the exponential distribution.

• location (float) – The estimation of the location of the exponential distribution.

Return type

None

Methods:

 compute(coverage[, confidence, side]) Compute a tolerance interval.
compute(coverage, confidence=0.95, side=<ToleranceIntervalSide.BOTH: 3>)

Compute a tolerance interval.

Parameters
• coverage (float) – A minimum percentage of belonging to the TI.

• confidence (float) – A level of confidence in [0,1].

• side (gemseo.uncertainty.statistics.tolerance_interval.distribution.ToleranceIntervalSide) – The type of the tolerance interval characterized by its sides of interest, either a lower-sided tolerance interval $$[a, +\infty[$$, an upper-sided tolerance interval $$]-\infty, b]$$, or a two-sided tolerance interval $$[c, d]$$.

Returns

The tolerance bounds.

Return type

Tuple[numpy.ndarray, numpy.ndarray]
