statsmodels.distributions.discrete.DiscretizedCount.rvs

DiscretizedCount.rvs(*args, **kwargs)

Random variates of given type.

Parameters:

  • arg1 (array_like) – The shape parameter(s) for the distribution (see docstring of the instance object for more information).

  • arg2 (array_like) – The shape parameter(s) for the distribution (see docstring of the instance object for more information).

  • arg3 (array_like) – The shape parameter(s) for the distribution (see docstring of the instance object for more information).

  • ... (array_like) – The shape parameter(s) for the distribution (see docstring of the instance object for more information).

  • loc (array_like, optional) – Location parameter (default=0).

  • size (int or tuple of ints, optional) – Defining number of random variates (Default is 1). Note that size has to be given as keyword, not as positional argument.

  • random_state ({None, int, numpy.random.Generator,) –

    numpy.random.RandomState}, optional

    If random_state is None (or np.random), the numpy.random.RandomState singleton is used. If random_state is an int, a new RandomState instance is used, seeded with random_state. If random_state is already a Generator or RandomState instance, that instance is used.

Returns:

rvs – Random variates of given size.

Return type:

ndarray or scalar
