#![warn(missing_docs)] //! Computation with uncertain values. //! //! When working with values which are not exactly determined, such as sensor data, it //! can be difficult to handle uncertainties correctly. //! //! The [`Uncertain`] trait makes such computations as natural as regular computations: //! //! ``` //! use uncertain::{Uncertain, Distribution}; //! use rand_distr::Normal; //! //! // Some inputs about which we are not sure //! let x = Distribution::from(Normal::new(5.0, 2.0).unwrap()); //! let y = Distribution::from(Normal::new(7.0, 3.0).unwrap()); //! //! // Do some computations //! let distance = x.sub(y).map(|diff: f64| diff.abs()); //! //! // Ask a question about the result //! let is_it_far = distance.map(|dist| dist > 2.0); //! //! // Check how certain the answer is //! assert_eq!(is_it_far.pr(0.9), false); //! assert_eq!(is_it_far.pr(0.5), true); //! ``` //! //! # References //! //! The [`Uncertain`] trait exported from the library is an implementation of //! the paper [`Uncertain<T>`][paper]. //! //!
