Uniform.sf (function)


def sf(self, x=None, unit=None)

Expose the survival function (sf; also defined as 1 - cdf, but sf is sometimes more accurate)

See scipy docs

This method is just a wrapper around the scipy.stats method on Uniform.dist_constructor_object after doing any requested unit-conversions.

Arguments

  • x (float or array, optional, default=None): x-values at which to expose the sf. If None or not provided, Uniform.cached_sample will be used if available, or raise an error if no cached samples are available.
  • unit (astropy.unit, optional, default=None): unit of the values in x. If None or not provided, will assume they're provided in Uniform.unit.

Returns

  • (float or array) sf values of the same type/shape as x
