scipy.stats.norminvgauss() is a Normal Inverse Gaussian 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 : Normal Inverse Gaussian continuous random variable

Code #1 : Creating Normal Inverse Gaussian continuous random variable




# importing library
  
from scipy.stats import norminvgauss
    
numargs = norminvgauss.numargs 
a, b = 4.32, 3.18
rv = norminvgauss(a, b) 
    
print ("RV : \n", rv)  


Output :

RV : 
 scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x000002A9D7E7F988

Code #2 : Normal Inverse Gaussian continuous variates and probability distribution




import numpy as np 
quantile = np.arange (0.01, 1, 0.1
  
# Random Variates 
R = norminvgauss.rvs(a, b) 
print ("Random Variates : \n", R) 
  
# PDF 
R = norminvgauss.pdf(a, b, quantile) 
print ("\nProbability Distribution : \n", R) 


Output :

Random Variates : 
 1.3435537740460517

Probability Distribution : 
 [1.47553069e-06 2.26852616e-06 3.47672896e-06 5.31156917e-06
 8.08889275e-06 1.22787583e-05 1.85780134e-05 2.80155365e-05
 4.21040186e-05 6.30575858e-05]
 

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)) 


Output :

Distribution :
