Normal.mean(*, method=None)[source]#
Mean (raw first moment about the origin)
Parameters:
method{None, ‘formula’, ‘transform’, ‘quadrature’, ‘cache’}
Method used to calculate the raw first moment. Not all methods are available for all distributions. Seemoment for details.

Examples
Instantiate a distribution with the desired parameters:
from scipy import stats X = stats.Normal(mu=1., sigma=2.)
Evaluate the variance:
X.mean() 1.0 X.mean() == X.moment(order=1, kind='raw') == X.mu True
