Struct statrs::distribution::Normal

pub struct Normal { /* fields omitted */ }

Implements the Normal distribution

Examples

use statrs::distribution::{Normal, Continuous};
use statrs::statistics::Distribution;

let n = Normal::new(0.0, 1.0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(n.mean().unwrap(), 0.0);
assert_eq!(n.pdf(1.0), 0.2419707245191433497978);

Implementations

impl Normal

pub fn new(mean: f64, std_dev: f64) -> Result<Normal>

Constructs a new normal distribution with a mean of mean and a standard deviation of std_dev

Errors

Returns an error if mean or std_dev are NaN or if std_dev <= 0.0

Examples

use statrs::distribution::Normal;

let mut result = Normal::new(0.0, 1.0);
assert!(result.is_ok());

result = Normal::new(0.0, 0.0);
assert!(result.is_err());
