    """A generic continuous random variable class meant for subclassing.

    `rv_continuous` is a base class to construct specific distribution classes
    and instances for continuous random variables. It cannot be used
    directly as a distribution.

    Parameters
    ----------
    momtype : int, optional
        The type of generic moment calculation to use: 0 for pdf, 1 (default)
        for ppf.
    a : float, optional
        Lower bound of the support of the distribution, default is minus
        infinity.
    b : float, optional
        Upper bound of the support of the distribution, default is plus
        infinity.
    xtol : float, optional
        The tolerance for fixed point calculation for generic ppf.
    badvalue : float, optional
        The value in a result arrays that indicates a value that for which
        some argument restriction is violated, default is np.nan.
    name : str, optional
        The name of the instance. This string is used to construct the default
        example for distributions.
    longname : str, optional
        This string is used as part of the first line of the docstring returned
        when a subclass has no docstring of its own. Note: `longname` exists
        for backwards compatibility, do not use for new subclasses.
    shapes : str, optional
        The shape of the distribution. For example ``"m, n"`` for a
        distribution that takes two integers as the two shape arguments for all
        its methods. If not provided, shape parameters will be inferred from
        the signature of the private methods, ``_pdf`` and ``_cdf`` of the
        instance.
    seed : {None, int, `numpy.random.Generator`, `numpy.random.RandomState`}, optional
        If `seed` is None (or `np.random`), the `numpy.random.RandomState`
        singleton is used.
        If `seed` is an int, a new ``RandomState`` instance is used,
        seeded with `seed`.
        If `seed` is already a ``Generator`` or ``RandomState`` instance then
        that instance is used.

    Notes
    -----
    Public methods of an instance of a distribution class (e.g., ``pdf``,
    ``cdf``) check their arguments and pass valid arguments to private,
    computational methods (``_pdf``, ``_cdf``). For ``pdf(x)``, ``x`` is valid
    if it is within the support of the distribution.
    Whether a shape parameter is valid is decided by an ``_argcheck`` method
    (which defaults to checking that its arguments are strictly positive.)

    **Subclassing**

    New random variables can be defined by subclassing the `rv_continuous` class
    and re-defining at least the ``_pdf`` or the ``_cdf`` method (normalized
    to location 0 and scale 1).

    If positive argument checking is not correct for your RV
    then you will also need to re-define the ``_argcheck`` method.

    For most of the scipy.stats distributions, the support interval doesn't
    depend on the shape parameters. ``x`` being in the support interval is
    equivalent to ``self.a <= x <= self.b``.  If either of the endpoints of
    the support do depend on the shape parameters, then
    i) the distribution must implement the ``_get_support`` method; and
    ii) those dependent endpoints must be omitted from the distribution's
    call to the ``rv_continuous`` initializer.

    Correct, but potentially slow defaults exist for the remaining
    methods but for speed and/or accuracy you can over-ride::

      _logpdf, _cdf, _logcdf, _ppf, _rvs, _isf, _sf, _logsf

    The default method ``_rvs`` relies on the inverse of the cdf, ``_ppf``,
    applied to a uniform random variate. In order to generate random variates
    efficiently, either the default ``_ppf`` needs to be overwritten (e.g.
    if the inverse cdf can expressed in an explicit form) or a sampling
    method needs to be implemented in a custom ``_rvs`` method.

    If possible, you should override ``_isf``, ``_sf`` or ``_logsf``.
    The main reason would be to improve numerical accuracy: for example,
    the survival function ``_sf`` is computed as ``1 - _cdf`` which can
    result in loss of precision if ``_cdf(x)`` is close to one.

    **Methods that can be overwritten by subclasses**
    ::

      _rvs
      _pdf
      _cdf
      _sf
      _ppf
      _isf
      _stats
      _munp
      _entropy
      _argcheck
      _get_support

    There are additional (internal and private) generic methods that can
    be useful for cross-checking and for debugging, but might work in all
    cases when directly called.

    A note on ``shapes``: subclasses need not specify them explicitly. In this
    case, `shapes` will be automatically deduced from the signatures of the
    overridden methods (`pdf`, `cdf` etc).
    If, for some reason, you prefer to avoid relying on introspection, you can
    specify ``shapes`` explicitly as an argument to the instance constructor.


    **Frozen Distributions**

    Normally, you must provide shape parameters (and, optionally, location and
    scale parameters to each call of a method of a distribution.

    Alternatively, the object may be called (as a function) to fix the shape,
    location, and scale parameters returning a "frozen" continuous RV object:

    rv = generic(<shape(s)>, loc=0, scale=1)
        `rv_frozen` object with the same methods but holding the given shape,
        location, and scale fixed

    **Statistics**

    Statistics are computed using numerical integration by default.
    For speed you can redefine this using ``_stats``:

     - take shape parameters and return mu, mu2, g1, g2
     - If you can't compute one of these, return it as None
     - Can also be defined with a keyword argument ``moments``, which is a
       string composed of "m", "v", "s", and/or "k".
       Only the components appearing in string should be computed and
       returned in the order "m", "v", "s", or "k"  with missing values
       returned as None.

    Alternatively, you can override ``_munp``, which takes ``n`` and shape
    parameters and returns the n-th non-central moment of the distribution.

    **Deepcopying / Pickling**

    If a distribution or frozen distribution is deepcopied (pickled/unpickled,
    etc.), any underlying random number generator is deepcopied with it. An
    implication is that if a distribution relies on the singleton RandomState
    before copying, it will rely on a copy of that random state after copying,
    and ``np.random.seed`` will no longer control the state.

    Examples
    --------
    To create a new Gaussian distribution, we would do the following:

    >>> from scipy.stats import rv_continuous
    >>> class gaussian_gen(rv_continuous):
    ...     "Gaussian distribution"
    ...     def _pdf(self, x):
    ...         return np.exp(-x**2 / 2.) / np.sqrt(2.0 * np.pi)
    >>> gaussian = gaussian_gen(name='gaussian')

    ``scipy.stats`` distributions are *instances*, so here we subclass
    `rv_continuous` and create an instance. With this, we now have
    a fully functional distribution with all relevant methods automagically
    generated by the framework.

    Note that above we defined a standard normal distribution, with zero mean
    and unit variance. Shifting and scaling of the distribution can be done
    by using ``loc`` and ``scale`` parameters: ``gaussian.pdf(x, loc, scale)``
    essentially computes ``y = (x - loc) / scale`` and
    ``gaussian._pdf(y) / scale``.

    def fit(self, data, *args, **kwds):
        r"""
        Return estimates of shape (if applicable), location, and scale
        parameters from data. The default estimation method is Maximum
        Likelihood Estimation (MLE), but Method of Moments (MM)
        is also available.

        Starting estimates for the fit are given by input arguments;
        for any arguments not provided with starting estimates,
        ``self._fitstart(data)`` is called to generate such.

        One can hold some parameters fixed to specific values by passing in
        keyword arguments ``f0``, ``f1``, ..., ``fn`` (for shape parameters)
        and ``floc`` and ``fscale`` (for location and scale parameters,
        respectively).

        Parameters
        ----------
        data : array_like or `CensoredData` instance
            Data to use in estimating the distribution parameters.
        arg1, arg2, arg3,... : floats, optional
            Starting value(s) for any shape-characterizing arguments (those not
            provided will be determined by a call to ``_fitstart(data)``).
            No default value.
        **kwds : floats, optional
            - `loc`: initial guess of the distribution's location parameter.
            - `scale`: initial guess of the distribution's scale parameter.

            Special keyword arguments are recognized as holding certain
            parameters fixed:

            - f0...fn : hold respective shape parameters fixed.
              Alternatively, shape parameters to fix can be specified by name.
              For example, if ``self.shapes == "a, b"``, ``fa`` and ``fix_a``
              are equivalent to ``f0``, and ``fb`` and ``fix_b`` are
              equivalent to ``f1``.

            - floc : hold location parameter fixed to specified value.

            - fscale : hold scale parameter fixed to specified value.

            - optimizer : The optimizer to use.  The optimizer must take
              ``func`` and starting position as the first two arguments,
              plus ``args`` (for extra arguments to pass to the
              function to be optimized) and ``disp``. 
              The ``fit`` method calls the optimizer with ``disp=0`` to suppress output.
              The optimizer must return the estimated parameters.

            - method : The method to use. The default is "MLE" (Maximum
              Likelihood Estimate); "MM" (Method of Moments)
              is also available.

        Raises
        ------
        TypeError, ValueError
            If an input is invalid
        `~scipy.stats.FitError`
            If fitting fails or the fit produced would be invalid

        Returns
        -------
        parameter_tuple : tuple of floats
            Estimates for any shape parameters (if applicable), followed by
            those for location and scale. For most random variables, shape
            statistics will be returned, but there are exceptions (e.g.
            ``norm``).

        Notes
        -----
        With ``method="MLE"`` (default), the fit is computed by minimizing
        the negative log-likelihood function. A large, finite penalty
        (rather than infinite negative log-likelihood) is applied for
        observations beyond the support of the distribution.

        With ``method="MM"``, the fit is computed by minimizing the L2 norm
        of the relative errors between the first *k* raw (about zero) data
        moments and the corresponding distribution moments, where *k* is the
        number of non-fixed parameters.
        More precisely, the objective function is::

            (((data_moments - dist_moments)
              / np.maximum(np.abs(data_moments), 1e-8))**2).sum()

        where the constant ``1e-8`` avoids division by zero in case of
        vanishing data moments. Typically, this error norm can be reduced to
        zero.
        Note that the standard method of moments can produce parameters for
        which some data are outside the support of the fitted distribution;
        this implementation does nothing to prevent this.

        For either method,
        the returned answer is not guaranteed to be globally optimal; it
        may only be locally optimal, or the optimization may fail altogether.
        If the data contain any of ``np.nan``, ``np.inf``, or ``-np.inf``,
        the `fit` method will raise a ``RuntimeError``.

        When passing a ``CensoredData`` instance to ``data``, the log-likelihood
        function is defined as:

        .. math::

            l(\pmb{\theta}; k) & = \sum
                                    \log(f(k_u; \pmb{\theta}))
                                + \sum
                                    \log(F(k_l; \pmb{\theta})) \\
                                & + \sum 
                                    \log(1 - F(k_r; \pmb{\theta})) \\
                                & + \sum
                                    \log(F(k_{\text{high}, i}; \pmb{\theta})
                                    - F(k_{\text{low}, i}; \pmb{\theta}))

        where :math:`f` and :math:`F` are the pdf and cdf, respectively, of the
        function being fitted, :math:`\pmb{\theta}` is the parameter vector,
        :math:`u` are the indices of uncensored observations,
        :math:`l` are the indices of left-censored observations,
        :math:`r` are the indices of right-censored observations,
        subscripts "low"/"high" denote endpoints of interval-censored observations, and
        :math:`i` are the indices of interval-censored observations.

        Examples
        --------

        Generate some data to fit: draw random variates from the `beta`
        distribution

        >>> import numpy as np
        >>> from scipy.stats import beta
        >>> a, b = 1., 2.
        >>> rng = np.random.default_rng(172786373191770012695001057628748821561)
        >>> x = beta.rvs(a, b, size=1000, random_state=rng)

        Now we can fit all four parameters (``a``, ``b``, ``loc`` and
        ``scale``):

        >>> a1, b1, loc1, scale1 = beta.fit(x)
        >>> a1, b1, loc1, scale1
        (1.0198945204435628, 1.9484708982737828, 4.372241314917588e-05, 0.9979078845964814)

        The fit can be done also using a custom optimizer:

        >>> from scipy.optimize import minimize
        >>> def custom_optimizer(func, x0, args=(), disp=0):
        ...     res = minimize(func, x0, args, method="slsqp", options={"disp": disp})
        ...     if res.success:
        ...         return res.x
        ...     raise RuntimeError('optimization routine failed')
        >>> a1, b1, loc1, scale1 = beta.fit(x, method="MLE", optimizer=custom_optimizer)
        >>> a1, b1, loc1, scale1
        (1.0198821087258905, 1.948484145914738, 4.3705304486881485e-05, 0.9979104663953395)

        We can also use some prior knowledge about the dataset: let's keep
        ``loc`` and ``scale`` fixed:

        >>> a1, b1, loc1, scale1 = beta.fit(x, floc=0, fscale=1)
        >>> loc1, scale1
        (0, 1)

        We can also keep shape parameters fixed by using ``f``-keywords. To
        keep the zero-th shape parameter ``a`` equal 1, use ``f0=1`` or,
        equivalently, ``fa=1``:

        >>> a1, b1, loc1, scale1 = beta.fit(x, fa=1, floc=0, fscale=1)
        >>> a1
        1

        Not all distributions return estimates for the shape parameters.
        ``norm`` for example just returns estimates for location and scale:

        >>> from scipy.stats import norm
        >>> x = norm.rvs(a, b, size=1000, random_state=123)
        >>> loc1, scale1 = norm.fit(x)
        >>> loc1, scale1

        conditional : bool, optional
            If True, the integral is corrected by the conditional probability
            of the integration interval.  The return value is the expectation
            of the function, conditional on being in the given interval.

        -------
        expect : float
            The calculated expected value.

        Notes
        -----
        The integration behavior of this function is inherited from
        `scipy.integrate.quad`. Neither this function nor
        `scipy.integrate.quad` can verify whether the integral exists or is
        finite. For example ``cauchy(0).mean()`` returns ``np.nan`` and
        ``cauchy(0).expect()`` returns ``0.0``.

        Likewise, the accuracy of results is not verified by the function.
        `scipy.integrate.quad` is typically reliable for integrals that are
        numerically favorable, but it is not guaranteed to converge
        to a correct value for all possible intervals and integrands. This
        function is provided for convenience; for critical applications,
        check results against other integration methods.

        The function is not vectorized.

        Examples
        --------

        To understand the effect of the bounds of integration consider

        >>> from scipy.stats import expon
        >>> expon(1).expect(lambda x: 1, lb=0.0, ub=2.0)
        0.6321205588285578

        This is close to

        >>> expon(1).cdf(2.0) - expon(1).cdf(0.0)
        0.6321205588285577

        If ``conditional=True``

        >>> expon(1).expect(lambda x: 1, lb=0.0, ub=2.0, conditional=True)
        1.0000000000000002

        The slight deviation from 1 is due to numerical integration.

        The integrand can be treated as a complex-valued function
        by passing ``complex_func=True`` to `scipy.integrate.quad` .

        >>> import numpy as np
        >>> from scipy.stats import vonmises
        >>> res = vonmises(loc=2, kappa=1).expect(lambda x: np.exp(1j*x),
        ...                                       complex_func=True)
        >>> res
        (-0.18576377217422957+0.40590124735052263j)

class rv_discrete(rv_generic):
    """A generic discrete random variable class meant for subclassing.

    `rv_discrete` is a base class to construct specific distribution classes
    and instances for discrete random variables. It can also be used
    to construct an arbitrary distribution defined by a list of support
    points and corresponding probabilities.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : float, optional
        Lower bound of the support of the distribution, default: 0
    b : float, optional
        Upper bound of the support of the distribution, default: plus infinity
    moment_tol : float, optional
        The tolerance for the generic calculation of moments.
    values : tuple of two array_like, optional
        ``(xk, pk)`` where ``xk`` are integers and ``pk`` are the non-zero
        probabilities between 0 and 1 with ``sum(pk) = 1``. ``xk``
        and ``pk`` must have the same shape, and ``xk`` must be unique.
    inc : integer, optional
        Increment for the support of the distribution.
        Default is 1. (other values have not been tested)
    badvalue : float, optional
        The value in a result arrays that indicates a value that for which
        some argument restriction is violated, default is np.nan.
    name : str, optional
        The name of the instance. This string is used to construct the default
        example for distributions.
    longname : str, optional
        This string is used as part of the first line of the docstring returned
        when a subclass has no docstring of its own. Note: `longname` exists
        for backwards compatibility, do not use for new subclasses.
    shapes : str, optional
        The shape of the distribution. For example "m, n" for a distribution
        that takes two integers as the two shape arguments for all its methods
        If not provided, shape parameters will be inferred from
        the signatures of the private methods, ``_pmf`` and ``_cdf`` of
        the instance.
    seed : {None, int, `numpy.random.Generator`, `numpy.random.RandomState`}, optional
        If `seed` is None (or `np.random`), the `numpy.random.RandomState`
        singleton is used.
        If `seed` is an int, a new ``RandomState`` instance is used,
        seeded with `seed`.
        If `seed` is already a ``Generator`` or ``RandomState`` instance then
        that instance is used.

    Methods
    -------
    rvs
    pmf
    logpmf
    cdf
    logcdf
    sf
    logsf
    ppf
    isf
    moment
    stats
    entropy
    expect
    median
    mean
    std
    var
    interval
    __call__
    support

    Notes
    -----
    This class is similar to `rv_continuous`. Whether a shape parameter is
    valid is decided by an ``_argcheck`` method (which defaults to checking
    that its arguments are strictly positive.)
    The main differences are as follows.

    - The support of the distribution is a set of integers.
    - Instead of the probability density function, ``pdf`` (and the
      corresponding private ``_pdf``), this class defines the
      *probability mass function*, `pmf` (and the corresponding
      private ``_pmf``.)
    - There is no ``scale`` parameter.
    - The default implementations of methods (e.g. ``_cdf``) are not designed
      for distributions with support that is unbounded below (i.e.
      ``a=-np.inf``), so they must be overridden.

    To create a new discrete distribution, we would do the following:

    >>> from scipy.stats import rv_discrete
    >>> class poisson_gen(rv_discrete):
    ...     "Poisson distribution"
    ...     def _pmf(self, k, mu):
    ...         return exp(-mu) * mu**k / factorial(k)

    and create an instance::

    >>> poisson = poisson_gen(name="poisson")

    Note that above we defined the Poisson distribution in the standard form.
    Shifting the distribution can be done by providing the ``loc`` parameter
    to the methods of the instance. For example, ``poisson.pmf(x, mu, loc)``
    delegates the work to ``poisson._pmf(x-loc, mu)``.

    **Discrete distributions from a list of probabilities**

    Alternatively, you can construct an arbitrary discrete rv defined
    on a finite set of values ``xk`` with ``Prob{X=xk} = pk`` by using the
    ``values`` keyword argument to the `rv_discrete` constructor.

    **Deepcopying / Pickling**

    If a distribution or frozen distribution is deepcopied (pickled/unpickled,
    etc.), any underlying random number generator is deepcopied with it. An
    implication is that if a distribution relies on the singleton RandomState
    before copying, it will rely on a copy of that random state after copying,
    and ``np.random.seed`` will no longer control the state.

    Examples
    --------
    Custom made discrete distribution:

    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> from scipy import stats
    >>> xk = np.arange(7)
    >>> pk = (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, 0.1, 0.0, 0.2)
    >>> custm = stats.rv_discrete(name='custm', values=(xk, pk))
    >>>
    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
    >>> ax.plot(xk, custm.pmf(xk), 'ro', ms=12, mec='r')
    >>> ax.vlines(xk, 0, custm.pmf(xk), colors='r', lw=4)
    >>> plt.show()

    Random number generation:

    >>> R = custm.rvs(size=100)

        slowly, the accuracy of the result may be rather low. For instance, for
        ``zipf(4)``, accuracy for mean, variance in example is only 1e-5.
        increasing `maxcount` and/or `chunksize` may improve the result,
        but may also make zipf very slow.
