Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on PHP. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the PHP stats_cdf_uniform() Function.
The built-in stats_cdf_uniform() function is used to calculate any one parameter of the uniform distribution specified values for the others.
The built-in stats_cdf_uniform() function is used to calculate any one parameter of the uniform distribution specified values for the others.
Syntax
Following below is the syntax to use this function -
float stats_cdf_uniform ( float $par1, float $par2, float $par3, int $which )
Parameter Details
Sr.No | Parameter | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | par1 | The first parameter |
2 | par2 | The second parameter |
3 | par3 | The third parameter |
4 | which | The flag to determine what to be calculated |
Return Value
This built-in function in PHP can return the CDF, its inverse, or one of its parameters of the uniform distribution. The kind of return value and parameters (par1, par2, and par3) are determined by which.
The following table list the return value and parameters by which.
The following table list the return value and parameters by which.
- CDF denotes cumulative distribution function.
- x denotes the value of the random variable.
- a denotes the lower bound of the uniform distribution.
- b denotes the higher bound of the uniform distribution.
which | Return value | par1 | par2 | par3 |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | CDF | x | a | b |
2 | x | CDF | a | b |
3 | a | x | CDF | b |
4 | b | x | CDF | a |
Dependencies
This built-in function was first introduced in statistics extension (PHP version 4.0.0 and PEAR v1.4.0). In this tutorial guide, we used the latest release of stats-2.0.3 (PHP v7.0.0 or newer and PEAR version 1.4.0 or newer).
Example1
In the following example below, when which = 1, calculate P from (X, A, B).
- P is the integral from 0 to X of the uniform distribution. Input range: [0, 1].
- X is the upper limit of integration of the uniform density.
- A is the first parameter of uniform density.
- B is the second parameter of the uniform density.
<?php // which = 1 : calculate P from (X, A, B) var_dump(stats_cdf_uniform(2.5, 1, 3, 1)); // A <= X <= B var_dump(stats_cdf_uniform(0, 1, 3, 1)); // X < A var_dump(stats_cdf_uniform(4, 1, 3, 1)); // X > B ?>
Output
When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -
float(0.75) float(0) float(1)
Example2
In the following example below, when which = 2, calculate X from (P, A, B).
- P is the integral from 0 to X of the uniform distribution. Input range: [0, 1].
- X is the upper limit of integration of the uniform density.
- A is the first parameter of uniform density.
- B is the second parameter of the uniform density.
<?php // which = 2 : calculate X from (P, A, B) var_dump(stats_cdf_uniform(0.75, 1, 3, 2)); ?>
Output
When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -
float(2.5)
Example3
In the following example below, when which = 3, calculate A from (P, X, B).
- P is the integral from 0 to X of the uniform distribution. Input range: [0, 1].
- X is the upper limit of integration of the uniform density.
- A is the first parameter of uniform density.
- B is the second parameter of the uniform density.
<?php // which = 3 : calculate A from (P, X, B) var_dump(stats_cdf_uniform(0.75, 2.5, 3, 3)); ?>
Output
When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -
float(1)
Example4
In the following example below, when which = 4, calculate B from (P, X, A).
- P is the integral from 0 to X of the uniform distribution. Input range: [0, 1].
- X is the upper limit of integration of the uniform density.
- A is the first parameter of uniform density.
- B is the second parameter of the uniform density.
<?php // which = 4 : calculate B from (P, X, A) var_dump(stats_cdf_uniform(0.75, 2.5, 1, 4)); ?>
Output
When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -
float(3)
Example5
Following is an error case. In the following example below which<1, warning message is displayed in logs.
<?php var_dump(stats_cdf_uniform(2.5, 1, 3, 0)); // which < 1 ?>
Output
The above code will produce the following result and a warning in logs PHP Warning: stats_cdf_uniform(): Fourth parameter ought to be in the 1..4 range.
bool(false)
Example6
Following is an error case. In the following example below which>4, warning message is displayed in logs.
<?php var_dump(stats_cdf_uniform(2.5, 1, 3, 5)); // which > 4 ?>
Output
The above code will produce the following result and a warning in logs PHP Warning: stats_cdf_uniform(): Fourth parameter ought to be in the 1..4 range.
bool(false)
