Struct statrs::distribution::Uniform

pub struct Uniform { /* fields omitted */ }

Implements the Continuous Uniform distribution

Examples

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

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

Methods

impl Uniform

pub fn new(min: f64, max: f64) -> Result<Uniform>

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

impl Univariate<f64, f64> for Uniform

fn cdf(&self, x: f64) -> f64

Calculates the cumulative distribution function for the uniform distribution at x

Formula

(x - min) / (max - min)

impl Continuous<f64, f64> for Uniform

fn pdf(&self, x: f64) -> f64

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)

fn ln_pdf(&self, x: f64) -> f64

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))

impl Min<f64> for Uniform

fn min(&self) -> f64

Returns the minimum value in the domain of a given distribution representable by a double-precision float. May panic depending on the implementor.

impl Max<f64> for Uniform

fn max(&self) -> f64

Returns the maximum value in the domain of a given distribution representable by a double-precision float. May panic depending on the implementor.

impl Mean<f64> for Uniform

fn mean(&self) -> f64

Returns the mean for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula

(min + max) / 2

impl Variance<f64> for Uniform

fn variance(&self) -> f64

Returns the variance for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula

(max - min)^2 / 12

fn std_dev(&self) -> f64

Returns the standard deviation for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula

sqrt((max - min)^2 / 12)

impl Entropy<f64> for Uniform

fn entropy(&self) -> f64

Returns the entropy for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula

ln(max - min)

impl Skewness<f64> for Uniform

fn skewness(&self) -> f64

Returns the skewness for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula

0

impl Median<f64> for Uniform

fn median(&self) -> f64

Returns the median for the continuous uniform distribution

Formula

(min + max) / 2

impl Mode<f64> for Uniform

fn mode(&self) -> f64

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

impl Clone for Uniform

fn clone(&self) -> Uniform

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl PartialEq<Uniform> for Uniform

fn eq(&self, other: &Uniform) -> bool

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

fn ne(&self, other: &Uniform) -> bool

This method tests for !=.

impl Copy for Uniform

impl Debug for Uniform

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Distribution<f64> for Uniform

fn sample<R: Rng + ?Sized>(&self, r: &mut R) -> f64

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

fn sample_iter<R>(self, rng: R) -> DistIter<Self, R, T> where
    R: Rng, 

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