Expand description

Implements the Beta distribution

Examples

use statrs::distribution::{Beta, Continuous};
use statrs::statistics::*;
use statrs::prec;

let n = Beta::new(2.0, 2.0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(n.mean().unwrap(), 0.5);
assert!(prec::almost_eq(n.pdf(0.5), 1.5, 1e-14));

Implementations

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

Errors

Returns an error if shape_a or shape_b are NaN. Also returns an error if shape_a <= 0.0 or shape_b <= 0.0

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());

Returns the shapeA (α) of the beta distribution

Examples
use statrs::distribution::Beta;

let n = Beta::new(2.0, 2.0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(n.shape_a(), 2.0);

Returns the shapeB (β) of the beta distributionβ

Examples
use statrs::distribution::Beta;

let n = Beta::new(2.0, 2.0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(n.shape_b(), 2.0);

Calculates the probability density function for the beta distribution at x.

Formula
let B(α, β) = Γ(α)Γ(β)/Γ(α + β)

x^(α - 1) * (1 - x)^(β - 1) / B(α, β)

where α is shapeA, β is shapeB, and Γ is the gamma function

Calculates the log probability density function for the beta distribution at x.

Formula
let B(α, β) = Γ(α)Γ(β)/Γ(α + β)

ln(x^(α - 1) * (1 - x)^(β - 1) / B(α, β))

where α is shapeA, β is shapeB, and Γ is the gamma function

Calculates the cumulative distribution function for the beta distribution at x

Formula
I_x(α, β)

where α is shapeA, β is shapeB, and I_x is the regularized lower incomplete beta function

Calculates the survival function for the beta distribution at x

Formula
I_(1-x)(β, α)

where α is shapeA, β is shapeB, and I_x is the regularized lower incomplete beta function

Due to issues with rounding and floating-point accuracy the default implementation may be ill-behaved. Specialized inverse cdfs should be used whenever possible. Performs a binary search on the domain of cdf to obtain an approximation of F^-1(p) := inf { x | F(x) >= p }. Needless to say, performance may may be lacking. Read more

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

Returns the mean of the beta distribution

Formula
α / (α + β)

where α is shapeA and β is shapeB

Returns the variance of the beta distribution

Remarks
Formula
(α * β) / ((α + β)^2 * (α + β + 1))

where α is shapeA and β is shapeB

Returns the entropy of the beta distribution

Formula
ln(B(α, β)) - (α - 1)ψ(α) - (β - 1)ψ(β) + (α + β - 2)ψ(α + β)

where α is shapeA, β is shapeB and ψ is the digamma function

Returns the skewness of the Beta distribution

Formula
2(β - α) * sqrt(α + β + 1) / ((α + β + 2) * sqrt(αβ))

where α is shapeA and β is shapeB

Returns the standard deviation, if it exists. Read more

Returns the maximum value in the domain of the beta distribution representable by a double precision float

Formula
1

Returns the minimum value in the domain of the beta distribution representable by a double precision float

Formula
0

Returns the mode of the Beta distribution.

Remarks

Since the mode is technically only calculate for α > 1, β > 1, those are the only values we allow. We may consider relaxing this constraint in the future.

Panics

If α <= 1 or β <= 1

Formula
(α - 1) / (α + β - 2)

where α is shapeA and β is shapeB

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason. Read more
