Struct statrs::distribution::Categorical

pub struct Categorical { /* fields omitted */ }

Implements the Categorical distribution, also known as the generalized Bernoulli or discrete distribution

Examples

use statrs::distribution::{Categorical, Discrete};
use statrs::statistics::Distribution;
use statrs::prec;

let n = Categorical::new(&[0.0, 1.0, 2.0]).unwrap();
assert!(prec::almost_eq(n.mean().unwrap(), 5.0 / 3.0, 1e-15));
assert_eq!(n.pmf(1), 1.0 / 3.0);

Implementations

impl Categorical

pub fn new(prob_mass: &[f64]) -> Result<Categorical>

Constructs a new categorical distribution with the probabilities masses defined by prob_mass

Errors

Returns an error if prob_mass is empty, the sum of the elements in prob_mass is 0, or any element is less than 0 or is f64::NAN

Note

The elements in prob_mass do not need to be normalized

Examples

use statrs::distribution::Categorical;

let mut result = Categorical::new(&[0.0, 1.0, 2.0]);
assert!(result.is_ok());

result = Categorical::new(&[0.0, -1.0, 2.0]);
assert!(result.is_err());
