RelativeNormal

RelativeNormal(mean, std_fraction, **kwargs)[source]

Create a Parameter with a normal distribution defined by a relative standard deviation.

The scale (sigma) is calculated as: mean * std_fraction

Parameters:
  • mean (float | Sequence[float]) – The center (mean) of the distribution.

  • std_fraction (float | Sequence[float]) – The standard deviation expressed as a fraction of the mean (also known as the coefficient of variation). e.g., 0.1 results in a distribution with sigma = 0.1 * mean.

  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments passed to the Normal constructor.

Return type:
