# macroeco.models.logser¶

macroeco.models.logser = <macroeco.models._distributions.logser_gen object at 0x1086532d0>

Logseries (logarithmic) random variable.

$P(x) = - p**x / (x*log(1-p))$
Parameters: x : array_like quantiles q : array_like lower or upper tail probability p : array_like shape parameters loc : array_like, optional location parameter (default=0) size : int or tuple of ints, optional shape of random variates (default computed from input arguments ) moments : str, optional composed of letters [‘mvsk’] specifying which moments to compute where ‘m’ = mean, ‘v’ = variance, ‘s’ = (Fisher’s) skew and ‘k’ = (Fisher’s) kurtosis. (default=’mv’) Alternatively, the object may be called (as a function) to fix the shape and : location parameters returning a “frozen” discrete RV object: : rv = logser(p, loc=0) : Frozen RV object with the same methods but holding the given shape and location fixed. p : float p parameter of the logseries distribution

Examples

>>> import macroeco.models as md

>>> # Define a logseries distribution by specifying the necessary parameters
>>> logser_dist = md.logser(p=0.9)

>>> # Get the pmf
>>> logser_dist.pmf(1)
0.39086503371292664

>>> # Get the cdf
>>> logser_dist.cdf(10)
0.9201603889810761

>>> # You can also use the following notation
>>> md.logser.pmf(1, 0.9)
0.39086503371292664
>>> md.logser.cdf(10, 0.9)
0.9201603889810761

>>> # Get a rank abundance distribution for 30 species
>>> rad = md.logser.rank(30, 0.9)
>>> rad

Methods

 rvs(p, loc=0, size=1) Random variates. pmf(x, p, loc=0) Probability mass function. logpmf(x, p, loc=0) Log of the probability mass function. cdf(x, p, loc=0) Cumulative density function. logcdf(x, p, loc=0) Log of the cumulative density function. sf(x, p, loc=0) Survival function (1-cdf — sometimes more accurate). logsf(x, p, loc=0) Log of the survival function. ppf(q, p, loc=0) Percent point function (inverse of cdf — percentiles). isf(q, p, loc=0) Inverse survival function (inverse of sf). stats(p, loc=0, moments=’mv’) Mean(‘m’), variance(‘v’), skew(‘s’), and/or kurtosis(‘k’). entropy(p, loc=0) (Differential) entropy of the RV. expect(func, p, loc=0, lb=None, ub=None, conditional=False) Expected value of a function (of one argument) with respect to the distribution. median(p, loc=0) Median of the distribution. mean(p, loc=0) Mean of the distribution. var(p, loc=0) Variance of the distribution. std(p, loc=0) Standard deviation of the distribution. interval(alpha, p, loc=0) Endpoints of the range that contains alpha percent of the distribution
