From reading the Wikipedia article, I might conclude that beta = 1/theta, but from reading random.py, beta=theta. I think this much should be clarified, but without giving the formula in a hard to read text form. Perhaps the random doc should give reference to the much more complete numpy.random (and Wikipedia and/or Mathworld) entries rather than merely 'any statistics text' (many of which will not describe all). |
