`scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure:rv_discrete.ppf`

source: build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/scipy/stats/_distn_infrastructure.py:3745

Signature

def ppf(self, q, *args, **kwds)

Summary

Percent point function (inverse of cdf) at q of the given RV.

Parameters

q : array_like: Lower tail probability.
arg1, arg2, arg3,... : array_like: The shape parameter(s) for the distribution (see docstring of the instance object for more information).
loc : array_like, optional: Location parameter (default=0).

Returns

k : array_like: Quantile corresponding to the lower tail probability, q.

Notes

For discrete distributions, the cdf is not strictly invertible. By convention, this method returns the minimum value k for which the cdf at k is at least q. There is one exception: the ppf of 0 is a-1, where a is the left endpoint of the support.
