Synopsis
Plot the probability density function of an array of values.
Syntax
plot_pdf(points, name='x', xlabel='x', bins=12, normed=True, replot=False, overplot=False, clearwindow=True, **kwargs) points - array name - str, optional xlabel - str, optional bins - int, optional normed - bool, optional replot - bool, optional overplot - bool, optional clearwindow - bool, optional
Description
Create and plot the probability density function (PDF) of the input array.
Examples
Example 1
>>> mu, sigma, n = 100, 15, 500 >>> x = np.random.normal(loc=mu, scale=sigma, size=n) >>> plot_pdf(x, bins=25)
Example 2
>>> plot_pdf(x, normed=False, xlabel="mu", name="Simulations")
PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| points | The values used to create the probability density function. |
| name | The label to use as part of the plot title. |
| xlabel | The label for the X axis |
| bins | The number of bins to use to create the PDF. |
| normed | Should the PDF be normalized (the default is True ). |
| replot | Set to True to use the values calculated by the last call to `plot_pdf` . The default is False . |
| overplot | If True then add the data to an existing plot, otherwise create a new plot. The default is False . |
| clearwindow | Should the existing plot area be cleared before creating this new plot (e.g. for multi-panel plots)? |
