scikitplot.externals._tweedie.tweedie = <scikitplot.externals._tweedie._tweedie_dist.tweedie_gen object>[source]#

An instance of tweedie_gen, providing Tweedie distribution functionality.

This instance provides:

  • probability density function (pdf)

  • cumulative distribution function (cdf)

  • random sampling

for the Tweedie distribution.

The Tweedie distribution is part of the exponential dispersion family, characterized by a p parameter that determines its behavior:

  • p = 0: Gaussian distribution

  • p = 1: Poisson distribution

  • p = 2: Gamma distribution

  • p = 3: Inverse Gaussian distribution

  • 1 < p < 2: Compound Poisson-Gamma distribution

Parameters:
pfloat

Tweedie power parameter.

mufloat

Mean or location parameter.

phifloat

Dispersion parameter, controlling the variance of the distribution.

tweedie_gen

A Tweedie continuous random variable.

Examples

Compute the pdf and cdf at a given point:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scikitplot.stats import tweedie
>>> x = 2.0
>>> pdf_val = tweedie.pdf(x, p=1.5, mu=1, phi=1)
>>> cdf_val = tweedie.cdf(x, p=1.5, mu=1, phi=1)
>>> pdf_val, cdf_val
(np.float64(0.15640119832636348), np.float64(0.8519363569424107))

Generate random variates:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scikitplot.stats import tweedie
>>> rvs = tweedie.rvs(p=1.5, mu=1, phi=1, size=16)
>>> rvs
array([0.30973721, 3.85299049, 3.06703734, 1.45816598, 1.01488129,
       1.08614853, 0.73593794, 0.61947083, 0.09253492, 1.55335331,
       0.72995267, 0.66491323, 0.98519153, 0.        , 0.17356754,
       1.78944269])

Plot the pdf over a range:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scikitplot.stats import tweedie
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> x = np.linspace(0, 5, 100)
>>> y = tweedie.pdf(x, p=1.5, mu=1, phi=1)
>>> plt.plot(x, y, label='Tweedie pdf (p=1.5, mu=1, phi=1)')
>>> plt.xlabel("x")
>>> plt.ylabel("Density")
>>> plt.legend()
>>> plt.show()
