Notes

The probability density function for studentized_range is:

f (x; k, ν) = \frac{k ( k - 1 ) ν ^{ν /2}}{Γ ( ν /2 ) 2 ^{ν /2 - 1}} \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{- \infty}^{\infty} s^{ν} e^{- ν s^{2} /2} ϕ (z) ϕ (s x + z) [Φ (s x + z) - Φ (z)]^{k - 2} d z d s

for $x \geq 0$ , $k > 1$ , and $ν > 0$ .

studentized_range takes k for $k$ and df for $ν$ as shape parameters.

When $ν$ exceeds 100,000, an asymptotic approximation (infinite degrees of freedom) is used to compute the cumulative distribution function ^[4] and probability distribution function.

Examples

import numpy as np
from scipy.stats import studentized_range
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)

✓

Display the probability density function (``pdf``):

k, df = 3, 10
x = np.linspace(studentized_range.ppf(0.01, k, df),
                studentized_range.ppf(0.99, k, df), 100)

✓

ax.plot(x, studentized_range.pdf(x, k, df),
        'r-', lw=5, alpha=0.6, label='studentized_range pdf')

✗

Alternatively, the distribution object can be called (as a function) to fix the shape, location and scale parameters. This returns a "frozen" RV object holding the given parameters fixed. Freeze the distribution and display the frozen ``pdf``:

rv = studentized_range(k, df)

✓

ax.plot(x, rv.pdf(x), 'k-', lw=2, label='frozen pdf')

✗

Check accuracy of ``cdf`` and ``ppf``:

vals = studentized_range.ppf([0.001, 0.5, 0.999], k, df)
np.allclose([0.001, 0.5, 0.999], studentized_range.cdf(vals, k, df))

✓

Rather than using (``studentized_range.rvs``) to generate random variates, which is very slow for this distribution, we can approximate the inverse CDF using an interpolator, and then perform inverse transform sampling with this approximate inverse CDF. This distribution has an infinite but thin right tail, so we focus our attention on the leftmost 99.9 percent.

a, b = studentized_range.ppf([0, .999], k, df)

✓

a, b

✗

from scipy.interpolate import interp1d
rng = np.random.default_rng()
xs = np.linspace(a, b, 50)

✓

cdf = studentized_range.cdf(xs, k, df)
ppf = interp1d(cdf, xs, fill_value='extrapolate')

✗

r = ppf(rng.uniform(size=1000))

✓

And compare the histogram:

ax.hist(r, density=True, histtype='stepfilled', alpha=0.2)
ax.legend(loc='best', frameon=False)

✗

plt.show()

✓
