distribution module

The interface to SciPy-based probability distributions.

The SPDistribution class is a concrete class inheriting from Distribution which is an abstract one. SP stands for scipy which is the library it relies on.

The SPDistribution of a given uncertain variable is built from mandatory arguments:

  • a variable name,

  • a distribution name recognized by SciPy,

  • a set of parameters provided as a dictionary of keyword arguments named as the arguments of the scipy constructor of this distribution.

Warning

The distribution parameters must be provided according to the signature of the scipy classes. Access the scipy documentation.

The constructor has also optional arguments:

  • a variable dimension (default: 1),

  • a standard representation of these parameters (default: use parameters).

class gemseo.uncertainty.distributions.scipy.distribution.SPDistribution(variable='x', interfaced_distribution='uniform', parameters=mappingproxy({}), dimension=1, standard_parameters=None)[source]

Bases: Distribution

A SciPy-based probability distribution.

Create a probability distribution for an uncertain variable from its dimension and distribution names and properties.

Examples

>>> from gemseo.uncertainty.distributions.scipy.distribution import (
...     SPDistribution,
... )
>>> distribution = SPDistribution("x", "expon", {"loc": 3, "scale": 1 / 2.0})
>>> print(distribution)
expon(loc=3, scale=0.5)
Parameters:
  • variable (str) –

    The name of the random variable.

    By default it is set to “x”.

  • interfaced_distribution (str) –

    The name of the probability distribution, typically the name of a class wrapped from an external library, such as "Normal" for OpenTURNS or "norm" for SciPy.

    By default it is set to “uniform”.

  • parameters (Mapping[str, Any]) –

    The parameters of the probability distribution.

    By default it is set to {}.

  • dimension (int) –

    The dimension of the random variable. If greater than 1, the probability distribution is applied to all components of the random variable under the hypothesis that these components are stochastically independent. To be removed in a future version; use a ComposedDistribution instead.

    By default it is set to 1.

  • standard_parameters (StandardParametersType | None) – The parameters of the probability distribution used for string representation only (use parameters for computation). If None, use parameters instead. For instance, let us consider the interfaced SciPy distribution "uniform". Then, the string representation of SPDistribution("x", "uniform", parameters, 1, {"min": 1, "max": 3}) with parameters={"loc": 1, "scale": 2} is "uniform(max=3, min=1)" while the string representation of SPDistribution("x", "uniform", parameters) is "uniform(loc=1, scale=2)".
