pub struct Uniform { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Implements the Continuous Uniform distribution

Examples

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

let n = Uniform::new(0.0, 1.0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(n.mean().unwrap(), 0.5);
assert_eq!(n.pdf(0.5), 1.0);

Implementations

Constructs a new uniform distribution with a min of min and a max of max

Errors

Returns an error if min or max are NaN

Examples
use statrs::distribution::Uniform;
use std::f64;

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

result = Uniform::new(f64::NAN, f64::NAN);
assert!(result.is_err());

Trait Implementations

Returns a copy of the value. Read more

Performs copy-assignment from source. Read more

Calculates the probability density function for the continuous uniform distribution at x

Remarks

Returns 0.0 if x is not in [min, max]

Formula
1 / (max - min)

Calculates the log probability density function for the continuous uniform distribution at x

Remarks

Returns f64::NEG_INFINITY if x is not in [min, max]

Formula
ln(1 / (max - min))

Calculates the cumulative distribution function for the uniform distribution at x

Formula
(x - min) / (max - min)

Calculates the survival function for the uniform distribution at x

Formula
(max - x) / (max - min)

Due to issues with rounding and floating-point accuracy the default implementation may be ill-behaved. Specialized inverse cdfs should be used whenever possible. Performs a binary search on the domain of cdf to obtain an approximation of F^-1(p) := inf { x | F(x) >= p }. Needless to say, performance may may be lacking. Read more

Generate a random value of T, using rng as the source of randomness.

Create an iterator that generates random values of T, using rng as the source of randomness. Read more

Create a distribution of values of ‘S’ by mapping the output of Self through the closure F Read more

Returns the mean for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula
(min + max) / 2

Returns the variance for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula
(max - min)^2 / 12

Returns the entropy for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula
ln(max - min)

Returns the skewness for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula
0

Returns the standard deviation, if it exists. Read more

Returns the maximum value in the domain of a given distribution if it exists, otherwise None. Read more

Returns the median for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula
(min + max) / 2

Returns the minimum value in the domain of a given distribution if it exists, otherwise None. Read more

Returns the mode for the continuous uniform distribution

Remarks

Since every element has an equal probability, mode simply returns the middle element

Formula
N/A // (max + min) / 2 for the middle element

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==. Read more

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason. Read more
