Function summary

• randwcdf(cdf, mean = 1.0, args = (), size = None)
• randwppf(ppf, args = (), size = None)

Functions

• randwcdf(cdf, mean = 1.0, args = (), size = None)

  returns an array of randomly distributed integers of a distribution whose cumulative distribution function (CDF) is given.

  mean is the mean of the distribution (helps the solver). args is a tuple of extra arguments to the cdf function (i.e. shape, location, scale), and size is the size of the output. Note the cdf function needs to accept a single value to compute over.

• randwppf(ppf, args = (), size = None)

  returns an array of randomly distributed integers of a distribution whose percent point function (inverse of the CDF) is given.

  args is a tuple of extra arguments to the ppf function (i.e. shape, location, scale), and size is the size of the output. Note the ppf function must accept an array of q values to compute over.
