Methods

impl Beta

pub fn new(shape_a: f64, shape_b: f64) -> Result<Beta>

Constructs a new beta distribution with shapeA (α) of shape_a and shapeB (β) of shape_b

Examples

use statrs::distribution::Beta;

let mut result = Beta::new(2.0, 2.0);
assert!(result.is_ok());

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

pub fn shape_a(&self) -> f64

Returns the shapeA (α) of the beta distribution

pub fn shape_b(&self) -> f64

Returns the shapeB (β) of the beta distributionβ

Examples
