normal

openpnm.models.geometry.throat_size.normal(target, scale, loc, seeds='throat.seed')

Produces values from a Weibull distribution given a set of random numbers.

Parameters

• %(models.target.parameters)s –

• %(models.misc.seeds)s –

• mean (float) – The mean value of the distribution. This is referred to as the loc in the scipy.stats function, and this key word is also accepted.

• stddev (float) – The standard deviation of the distribution. This is referred to as the scale in the scipy.stats function, and this key word is also accepted.

Returns

Return type

%(models.misc.stats.returns)s

Examples

The following code illustrates the inner workings of this function, which uses the ‘norm’ method of the scipy.stats module. This can be used to find suitable values of ‘scale’ and ‘loc’.

import numpy
import scipy.stats
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

func = scipy.stats.norm(scale=.0001, loc=0.001)
fig = plt.hist(func.ppf(q=numpy.random.rand(10000)), bins=50)

plt.show()
