plot_cdf

Context: plotting

Synopsis

Plot the cumulative density function of an array of values.

Syntax

plot_cdf(points, name='x', xlabel='x', replot=False, overplot=False,
clearwindow=True, **kwargs)

Description

Create and plot the cumulative density function (CDF) of the input array. Median and upper- and lower- quartiles are marked on the plot.


Examples

Example 1

>>> mu, sigma, n = 100, 15, 500
>>> x = np.random.normal(loc=mu, scale=sigma, size=n)
>>> plot_cdf(x)

Example 2

>>> plot_cdf(x, xlabel="x pos", name="Simulations")

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Type information Definition
points array The values used to create the cumulative density function.
name str, optional The label to use as part of the plot title.
xlabel str, optional The label for the X and part of the Y axes.
replot bool, optional Set to True to use the values calculated by the last call to `plot_cdf` . The default is False .
overplot bool, optional If True then add the data to an existing plot, otherwise create a new plot. The default is False .
clearwindow bool, optional Should the existing plot area be cleared before creating this new plot (e.g. for multi-panel plots)?
