Struct statrs::distribution::Erlang

pub struct Erlang { /* fields omitted */ }

Implements the Erlang distribution which is a special case of the Gamma distribution

Examples

use statrs::distribution::{Erlang, Continuous};
use statrs::statistics::Mean;
use statrs::prec;

let n = Erlang::new(3, 1.0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(n.mean(), 3.0);
assert!(prec::almost_eq(n.pdf(2.0), 0.270670566473225383788, 1e-15));

Methods

impl Erlang

pub fn new(shape: u64, rate: f64) -> Result<Erlang>

Constructs a new erlang distribution with a shape (k) of shape and a rate (λ) of rate

Errors

Returns an error if shape or rate are NaN. Also returns an error if shape == 0 or rate <= 0.0

Examples

use statrs::distribution::Erlang;

let mut result = Erlang::new(3, 1.0);
assert!(result.is_ok());

result = Erlang::new(0, 0.0);
assert!(result.is_err());

pub fn shape(&self) -> u64

Returns the shape (k) of the erlang distribution

Examples

use statrs::distribution::Erlang;

let n = Erlang::new(3, 1.0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(n.shape(), 3);

pub fn rate(&self) -> f64

Returns the rate (λ) of the erlang distribution

Examples

use statrs::distribution::Erlang;

let n = Erlang::new(3, 1.0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(n.rate(), 1.0);
