Module bio::stats::probs

Handling log-probabilities. Log probabilities are an important tool to deal with probabilities in a numerically stable way, in particular when having probabilities close to zero.

Modules

cdf	Support for discrete probability distributions in terms of cumulative distribution functions (CDF).

Structs

LogProb	A newtype for log-scale probabilities. For performance reasons, we use an approximation of the exp method implemented in bio::utils::FastExp. This can lead to slight errors, but should not matter given that most of the probability differences are reflected within the integer part of the log probability.
PHREDProb	A newtype for PHRED-scale probabilities.
Prob	A newtype for probabilities.
