Hi Team,
gh-21700 adds scipy.stats.Mixture
, a class to represent mixture distributions. The class accepts components
(a sequence of instances of ContinuousDistribution
) and weights
(the corresponding probabilities). Instances of Mixture
have essentially all the same public methods of a ContinuousDistribution
.
The PR also establishes a _ProbabilityDistribution
superclass, which will have subclasses like ContinuousDistribution
and DiscreteDistribution
(when it exists). Mixture
s will eventually accept instances of any _ProbabilityDistribution
.
If you’re interested, please join the conversation in gh-21700!
