Python – Bernoulli Distribution in Statistics

scipy.stats.bernoulli() is a Bernoulli discrete random variable. It is inherited from the of generic methods as an instance of the rv_discrete class. It completes the methods with details specific for this particular distribution.

Parameters :

x : quantiles
loc : [optional]location parameter. Default = 0
scale : [optional]scale parameter. Default = 1
moments : [optional] composed of letters [‘mvsk’]; ‘m’ = mean, ‘v’ = variance, ‘s’ = Fisher’s skew and ‘k’ = Fisher’s kurtosis. (default = ‘mv’).

Results : Bernoulli discrete random variable

Code #1 : Creating Bernoulli discrete random variable

# importing library

from scipy.stats import bernoulli

numargs = bernoulli .numargs
a, b = 0.2, 0.8
rv = bernoulli (a, b)

print ("RV : \n", rv)

Output :

RV : 
 scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x0000016A4C0FC108

Code #2 : Bernoulli discrete variates and probability distribution

import numpy as np
quantile = np.arange (0.01, 1, 0.1)

# Random Variates
R = bernoulli .rvs(a, b, size = 10)
print ("Random Variates : \n", R)

# PDF
x = np.linspace(bernoulli.ppf(0.01, a, b),
                bernoulli.ppf(0.99, a, b), 10)
R = bernoulli.ppf(x, 1, 3)
print ("\nProbability Distribution : \n", R)

Output :

Random Variates : 
 [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1]

Probability Distribution : 
 [ 4.  4. nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan]

Code #3 : Graphical Representation.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

distribution = np.linspace(0, np.minimum(rv.dist.b, 2))
print("Distribution : \n", distribution)

plot = plt.plot(distribution, rv.ppf(distribution))

Output :

Code #4 : Varying Positional Arguments

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(0, 5, 100)

# Varying positional arguments
y1 = bernoulli.ppf(x, a, b)
y2 = bernoulli.pmf(x, a, b)
plt.plot(x, y1, "*", x, y2, "r--")
