Module functions

Expand description

Various mathematical and statistical functions.

Enums§

beta: Calculates the beta function using the relationship between the beta function and the gamma function.
binom_coeff: Calculates the binomial coefficient nCk for two integers n and k, with n >= k.
binom_coeff_alt: An alternative method for computing binomial coefficients. There is no significant difference between the compute time using the binom_coeff method and this method. This method becomes slightly inaccurate (by 1 or 2) starting at n ~ 50.
boxcox: Calculates the one-parameter Box-Cox transformation with some power parameter lambda.
boxcox_shifted: Calculates the two-parameter Box-Cox transformation with some power parameter lambda and some shift parameter alpha.
digamma: Calculates the digamma function, which is the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function. It obeys the equation `digamma(x+1) = digamma(x)
erf: Calculates the error function erf(x).
gamma: Calculates the Gamma function using the Lanczos approximation. It obeys the equation gamma(x+1) = gamma(x) * x. This approximation uses the reflection formula to extend the calculation to the entire complex plane.
interp1d_linear
logistic: Calculates the standard logistic function
logit: Calculates the logit function
softmax: Calculates the softmax (the normalized exponential) function, which is a generalization of the logistic function to multiple dimensions.
