Gaussian and Binomial Probability Distributions

problib

Small Python library to calculate and plot probability density functions for Gaussian and Binomial distributions.

Note that this is a test Python package, it works fine but has some issues and solves no new problem. You can totally give it a try though!

Installation with pip

pip install problib

# test.pypi install
pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ problib==0.2

Use in Python

Gaussian Distribution

from problib import Gaussian

# Create new gaussian distribution with mu=25 and sigma=2
gaussian = Gaussian(25, 2)
gaussian   # mean 25, standard deviation 0.5

# Return mean and standard deviation
gaussian.mean    # 25.0
gaussian.stdev   # 2.0

# Compute probability density function at point x=25
gaussian.pdf(25)    # 0.19947

# Add two Gaussian distributions together
gaussian_b =  Gaussian(80, 20)
gaussian + gaussian_b    # 'mean 105, standard deviation 20.09975'

# Read data from .txt file, recompute mean and stdev
gaussian.read_data_file('numbers.txt')
gaussian.calculate_mean()
gaussian.calculate_stdev()

# Plot data (requires loading data first)
gaussian.plot_histogram()
# Plot normalized histogram of data and probability density function (requires loading data first)
gaussian.plot_histogram_pdf()

Binomial Distribution

The Binomial distribution has the same methods as Gaussian but takes success probability and trial size as required inputs

from problib import Binomial

# Create new Binomial distribution with p=0.4 and n=20
binomial = Binomial(0.4, 20)

binomial.p    # 0.4
binomial.n    # 20
binomial.mean    # 8.0
binomial.stdev   # 2.19089

# Compute probability density function for k=5
binomial.pdf(5)    # 0.07465

# Read data from .txt file, recalculate properties
binomial.read_data_file('numbers_binomial.txt')
binomial.replace_stats_with_data()

# Plot data and probabilities (works with or without read data)
binomial.plot_bar()
binomial.plot_bar_pdf()
