BaseUnivariateDistribution.to_delta (function)

def to_delta(self, loc='median')

Convert the BaseUnivariateDistribution distribution to a Delta distribution at the BaseUnivariateDistribution.median (or BaseUnivariateDistribution.mean).

Arguments

• loc (string or float, optional, default='median'): If a float, will create a delta function directly at that value. If 'median' or 'mean' will use BaseUnivariateDistribution.median or BaseUnivariateDistribution.mean, respectively. If 'sample', will draw a random sample from BaseUnivariateDistribution.sample. All other strings will raise a ValueError.

Returns

• a Delta object

Raises

• ValueError: if the value of loc is not one of 'median', 'mean', 'sample'
