The latest version of numpy is 1.13. In this case, as described in the docs, a power function distribution is one with a probability desnity function of the form ax^(a-1) for x between 0 and 1. On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 9:41 AM, Renato Fabbri wrote: > Thanks for the reply. > > But the question re

Thanks for the reply. But the question remains: how are the terms "power function distribution" and "power-law distribution" related? The documentation link you sent have no information on this. ( And seems the same as I get here In [6]: n.version.full_version Out[6]: '1.11.0' ) On Thu, Aug 24,

[Numpy-discussion] power function distribution or power-law distribution?

2017-08-24 Thread Renato Fabbri
numpy.random.power.__doc__ uses only the term "power function distribution". I cannot find a comparison between this term and "power-law distribution" and am quite interested to know if they are simply synonyms. Any ideas? BTW. how is this list related to numpy-discuss...@scipy.org? -- Renat
