metasyn.distribution.normal.DiscreteNormalDistribution

class metasyn.distribution.normal.DiscreteNormalDistribution(mean, sd)

Normal discrete distribution.

This class implements the normal/gaussian distribution and takes the average and standard deviation as initialization input.

Parameters:

• mean (float) – Mean of the normal distribution.

• sd (float) – Standard deviation of the normal distribution.

Examples

>>> DiscreteNormalDistribution(mean=2.4, sd=1.2)
