ArcSine Distribution#

class ArcSineDistribution(amplitude: float = 1.0, loc: float = 0.0, scale: float = 1.0, normalize: bool = False)[source]#

Bases: BetaDistribution

Class for ArcSine distribution.

Note

The ArcSineDistribution is a special case of the BetaDistribution,

\(\alpha_\text{beta} = 0.5\),
\(\lambda_\text{beta} = 0.5\).

Parameters:

amplitude (float, optional) – The amplitude of the PDF. Defaults to 1.0. Ignored if normalize is True.
loc (float, optional) – The location parameter, \(-\) shifting. Defaults to 0.0.
scale (float, optional) – The scale parameter, for shifting. Defaults to 1.0.
normalize (bool, optional) – If True, the distribution is normalized so that the total area under the PDF equals 1. Defaults to False.

Raises:

NegativeAmplitudeError – If the provided value of amplitude is negative.
NegativeScaleError – If the provided value of scale is negative.

Example:

Importing libraries

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from scipy.stats import arcsine

from pymultifit.distributions import ArcSineDistribution

Generating the ArcSine distribution with pyMultiFit and scipy.

x_values = np.linspace(start=0, stop=1, num=500)

y_multifit = ArcSineDistribution(normalize=True)
y_scipy = arcsine

Plotting PDF and CDF

f, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(12, 5))

ax[0].plot(x_values, y_scipy.pdf(x_values), label='Scipy ArcSine')
ax[0].plot(x_values, y_multifit.pdf(x_values), 'k:', label='pyMultiFit ArcSine')
ax[0].set_ylabel('f(x)')

ax[1].plot(x_values, y_scipy.cdf(x_values), label='Scipy ArcSine')
ax[1].plot(x_values, y_multifit.cdf(x_values), 'k:', label='pyMultiFit ArcSine')
ax[1].set_ylabel('F(x)')

for i in ax:
    i.set_xlabel('X')
    i.legend()
plt.tight_layout()

Attributes:

mean: The mean of the distribution.
median: The median of the distribution.
mode: The mode of the distribution.
stddev: The standard deviation of the distribution.
variance: The variance of the distribution.

classmethod scipy_like(loc: float = 0.0, scale: float = 1.0)[source]#

Instantiate ArcSineDistribution with scipy parameterization.

Parameters:

loc: float, optional: The location parameter. Defaults to 0.0.
scale: float, optional: The scale parameter. Defaults to 1.0.

Returns:
