scipy.stats.maxwell() is a Maxwell (Pareto of the second kind) continuous random variable. It is inherited from the of generic methods as an instance of the rv_continuous class. It completes the methods with details specific for this particular distribution. Parameters :
q : lower and upper tail probability x : quantiles loc : [optional]location parameter. Default = 0 scale : [optional]scale parameter. Default = 1 size : [tuple of ints, optional] shape or random variates. moments : [optional] composed of letters [‘mvsk’]; ‘m’ = mean, ‘v’ = variance, ‘s’ = Fisher’s skew and ‘k’ = Fisher’s kurtosis. (default = ‘mv’). Results : Maxwell continuous random variable
Code #1 : Creating Maxwell continuous random variable Python3 1==
# importing library

from scipy.stats import maxwell  
  
numargs = maxwell.numargs 
a, b = 4.32, 3.18
rv = maxwell(a, b) 
  
print ("RV : \n", rv)  
Output :
RV : 
 scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x000002A9D66DEC88
Code #2 : Maxwell continuous variates and probability distribution Python3 1==
import numpy as np 
quantile = np.arange (0.01, 1, 0.1) 

# Random Variates 
R = maxwell.rvs(a, b) 
print ("Random Variates : \n", R) 

# PDF 
R = maxwell.pdf(a, b, quantile) 
print ("\nProbability Distribution : \n", R) 
Output :
Random Variates : 
 8.999401872992793

Probability Distribution : 
 [0.00000000e+00 3.70579394e-21 4.46576264e-05 4.02803131e-02

Code #3 : Graphical Representation. Python3 1==
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
   
distribution = np.linspace(0, np.minimum(rv.dist.b, 3)) 
print("Distribution : \n", distribution) 
   
plot = plt.plot(distribution, rv.pdf(distribution)) 
Output :

Code #4 : Varying Positional Arguments Python3 1==
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np 
   
x = np.linspace(0, 5, 100) 
   
# Varying positional arguments 
y1 = maxwell .pdf(x, 1, 3)
