Python – Trapezoidal Distribution in Statistics

scipy.stats.trapz () is a trapezoidal continuous random variable. It is inherited from the of generic methods as an instance of the rv_continuous class. It completes the methods with details specific for this particular distribution.

Parameters :

q : lower and upper tail probability
x : quantiles
loc : [optional]location parameter. Default = 0
scale : [optional]scale parameter. Default = 1
size : [tuple of ints, optional] shape or random variates.
moments : [optional] composed of letters [‘mvsk’]; ‘m’ = mean, ‘v’ = variance, ‘s’ = Fisher’s skew and ‘k’ = Fisher’s kurtosis. (default = ‘mv’).

Results : trapezoidal continuous random variable

Code #1 : Creating trapezoidal continuous random variable




# importing library
  
from scipy.stats import trapz 
    
numargs = trapz .numargs 
a, b = 0.2, 0.8
rv = trapz (a, b) 
    
print ("RV : \n", rv)  


Output :

RV : 
 scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x000002A9D843A9C8

Code #2 : trapezoidal continuous variates and probability distribution




import numpy as np 
quantile = np.arange (0.01, 1, 0.1
  
# Random Variates 
R = trapz .rvs(a, b, size = 10
print ("Random Variates : \n", R) 
  
# PDF 
x = np.linspace(trapz.ppf(0.01, a, b),
                trapz.ppf(0.99, a, b), 10)
R = trapz.pdf(x, 1, 3)
print ("\nProbability Distribution : \n", R) 


Output :

Random Variates : 
 [0.5830132  0.67200586 0.84671038 0.9469406  0.18545607 0.33055857
 0.39509654 0.28159699 0.85689182 0.86438509]

Probability Distribution :

Code #3 : Graphical Representation.




import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
     
distribution = np.linspace(0, np.minimum(rv.dist.b, 3)) 
print("Distribution : \n", distribution) 
     
plot = plt.plot(distribution, rv.pdf(distribution)) 


Output :
