python-scipyHow do I use Python Scipy to generate an exponential distribution?

Scipy is a powerful python library for scientific computing. It provides a wide range of functions for generating and manipulating probability distributions. To generate an exponential distribution using Scipy, the scipy.stats.expon function can be used.

Example code

import scipy.stats

x = scipy.stats.expon.rvs(size=10)
print(x)

Example output:

[1.97790379 0.96668961 0.37204524 0.18509819 0.14698962 1.78867799
 0.73548481 0.30222099 0.73564717 0.61254917]

Code explanation

• import scipy.stats: imports the scipy.stats module
• scipy.stats.expon.rvs(size=10): generates 10 random variables from an exponential distribution
• print(x): prints the generated random variables
