pyarts3.arts.random.geometric_distribution

random.geometric_distribution(N: int = 1, p: float = 0.5) → pyarts3.arts.Vector

Generate random numbers following a geometric distribution

Wraps std::geometric_distribution from the C++ standard library.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pyarts3 as pa

plt.hist(pa.arts.random.geometric_distribution(10000, 0.01), bins=50, density=True)
plt.title("A plotting example")
plt.xlabel("Value")
plt.ylabel("Density")
plt.yscale("log")

Parameters:

• N (int) – Number of random numbers to generate. Default is 1.

• p (float) – Probability of success in the geometric distribution. Default is 0.5.

Returns:

The distribution

Return type:

Vector
