Distribution
[source] [edit on github]¶ Bases:
object
A scalar value or array values with associated uncertainty distribution.
This object will take its exact type from whatever the
samples
argument is. In general this is expected to be anQuantity
ornumpy.ndarray
, although anything compatible withnumpy.asanyarray
is possible.See also: http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/uncertainty/
Parameters: - samples : array-like
The distribution, with sampling along the leading axis. If 1D, the sole dimension is used as the sampling axis (i.e., it is a scalar distribution).
Attributes Summary

pdf_histogram
(**kwargs)[source] [edit on github]¶ Compute histogram over the samples in the distribution.
Parameters: - All keyword arguments are passed into `astropy.stats.histogram`. Note
- That some of these options may not be valid for some multidimensional
- distributions.
Returns: - hist : array
The values of the histogram. Trailing dimension is the histogram dimension.
- bin_edges : array of dtype float
Return the bin edges
(length(hist)+1)
. Trailing dimension is the bin histogram dimension.

pdf_percentiles
(percentile, **kwargs)[source] [edit on github]¶ Compute percentiles of this Distribution.
Parameters: Returns: - percentiles :
Quantity
The
fracs
percentiles of this distribution.
