Python – Maxwell Distribution in Statistics
Last Updated :
31 Dec, 2019
scipy.stats.maxwell() is a Maxwell (Pareto of the second kind) continuous random variable. It is inherited from the of generic methods as an instance of the rv_continuous class. It completes the methods with details specific for this particular distribution.
Parameters :
q : lower and upper tail probability
x : quantiles
loc : [optional]location parameter. Default = 0
scale : [optional]scale parameter. Default = 1
size : [tuple of ints, optional] shape or random variates.
moments : [optional] composed of letters [‘mvsk’]; ‘m’ = mean, ‘v’ = variance, ‘s’ = Fisher’s skew and ‘k’ = Fisher’s kurtosis. (default = ‘mv’).
Results : Maxwell continuous random variable
Code #1 : Creating Maxwell continuous random variable
from scipy.stats import maxwell
numargs = maxwell.numargs
a, b = 4.32 , 3.18
rv = maxwell(a, b)
print ( "RV : \n" , rv)

Output :
RV :
scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x000002A9D66DEC88
Code #2 : Maxwell continuous variates and probability distribution
import numpy as np
quantile = np.arange ( 0.01 , 1 , 0.1 )
R = maxwell.rvs(a, b)
print ( "Random Variates : \n" , R)
R = maxwell.pdf(a, b, quantile)
print ( "\nProbability Distribution : \n" , R)

Output :
Random Variates :

Probability Distribution :

Code #3 : Graphical Representation.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
distribution = np.linspace( 0 , np.minimum(rv.dist.b, 3 ))
print ( "Distribution : \n" , distribution)
plot = plt.plot(distribution, rv.pdf(distribution))
