geometric
(p, size=None)¶
Draw samples from the geometric distribution.
Bernoulli trials are experiments with one of two outcomes: success or failure (an example of such an experiment is flipping a coin). The geometric distribution models the number of trials that must be run in order to achieve success. It is therefore supported on the positive integers, k = 1, 2, ...
.
The probability mass function of the geometric distribution is
where p is the probability of success of an individual trial.
Parameters:The probability of success of an individual trial.
Output shape. If the given shape is, e.g., (m, n, k)
, then m * n * k
samples are drawn. If size is None
(default), a single value is returned if p
is a scalar. Otherwise, np.array(p).size
samples are drawn.
Drawn samples from the parameterized geometric distribution.
Examples
Draw ten thousand values from the geometric distribution, with the probability of an individual success equal to 0.35:
>>> z = np.random.geometric(p=0.35, size=10000)
How many trials succeeded after a single run?
>>> (z == 1).sum() / 10000. 0.34889999999999999 #random
