Continuous distributions
We usually model continuous distributions with probability density functions (PDF). The probability that a value is in a certain interval is determined by integration of the PDF (see https://www.khanacademy.org/math/probability/random-variables-topic/random_variables_prob_dist/v/probability-density-functions). The NumPy random
module has functions that represent continuous distributions—beta()
, chisquare()
, exponential()
, f()
, gamma()
, gumbel()
, laplace()
, lognormal()
, logistic()
, multivariate_normal()
, noncentral_chisquare()
, noncentral_f()
, normal()
, and others.
