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
