scipy.stats.erlang() : is an Erlang continuous random variable that is defined with a standard format and some shape parameters to complete its specification. it is a special case of the Gamma 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 : erlang continuous random variable

Code #1 : Creating erlang continuous random variable




from scipy.stats import erlang 
  
numargs = erlang.numargs
[a] = [0.6, ] * numargs
rv = erlang(a)
  
print ("RV : \n", rv) 


Output :

RV : 
 <scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x0000018D544FBC88>

Code #2 : erlang random variates and probability distribution.




import numpy as np
quantile = np.arange (0.01, 1, 0.1)
   
# Random Variates
R = erlang.rvs(a, scale = 2,  size = 10)
print ("Random Variates : \n", R)
  
# PDF
R = erlang.pdf(a, quantile, loc = 0, scale = 1)
print ("\nProbability Distribution : \n", R)


Output :

Random Variates : 
 [5.65708510e+00 5.16045580e+00 1.02056956e-01 3.64349340e-01

 8.84331471e-01 2.20817630e+00]

Probability Distribution :
[0.01, 0.11, 0.21, 0.31, 0.41, 0.51, 0.61, 0.71, 0.81, 0.91]
 

Code #3 : Graphical Representation.




import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
distribution = np.linspace(0, np.minimum(rv.dist.b, 5))
print("Distribution : \n", distribution)
  
plot = plt.plot(distribution, rv.pdf(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 = erlang.pdf(x, 2, 6)
y2 = erlang.pdf(x, 1, 4)
plt.plot(x, y1, "*", x, y2, "r--")
