clean_pdf(A::Array, atol=ATOL)

Checks wether an array is an acceptable discrete probability distribution with tolerance ATOL. If so, converts its elements to normalized positive real numbers.

clean_proba_(probability:Number, atol=ATOL)

Checks whether a (complex) number is close enough to a valid probability with tolerance ATOL. If so, convert it to a positive real number.

get_power_law_log_log(x_data,y_data)

Gets a power law of type y = exp(c) * x^m from data that looks like a line in a loglog plot.

isa_pdf(pdf)

Asserts if pdf is a valid probability distribution.

isa_probability(p)

Asserts if pis a valid probability.

sqr(a,b)

Computes the euclidian distance between two probability distributions.

tvd(a,b)

Computes the total variation distance between two probability distributions.
