atoti.experimental.stats.normal module

Normal distribution, also called Gaussian, Gauss or Laplace–Gauss distribution.

For more information read:

atoti.experimental.stats.normal.cdf(point, *, mean, standard_deviation)

Cumulative distribution function for a normal distribution.

The cdf is given by the formula

\[\operatorname {cdf}(x) = \frac {1}{2}\left[1 + \operatorname {erf} \left(\frac {x-\mu }{\sigma {\sqrt {2}}}\right)\right]\]

Where \(\mu\) is the mean of the distribution, \(\sigma\) is its standard deviation and \(\operatorname {erf}\) the error function.

Parameters

Measure

atoti.experimental.stats.normal.pdf(point, *, mean=0, standard_deviation=1)

Probability density function for a normal distribution.

The pdf is given by the formula

\[\operatorname {pdf}(x) = \frac{1}{ \sigma \sqrt{2 \pi} } e^{-\frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}\right)^{2}}\]

Where \(\mu\) is the mean (or expectation) of the distribution while \(\sigma\) is its standard deviation.

Parameters

Measure

atoti.experimental.stats.normal.ppf(point, *, mean, standard_deviation)

Percent point function for a normal distribution.

Also called inverse cumulative distribution function.

The ppf is given by the formula

\[\operatorname {ppf}(x) = \mu + \sigma \sqrt{2} \operatorname {erf} ^{-1}(2x-1)\]

Where \(\mu\) is the mean of the distribution, \(\sigma\) is its standard deviation and \(\operatorname {erf}^{-1}\) the inverse of the error function.
