openmc.stats.Discrete¶

class openmc.stats.Discrete(x, p)[source]¶

Distribution characterized by a probability mass function.

The Discrete distribution assigns probability values to discrete values of a random variable, rather than expressing the distribution as a continuous random variable.

Parameters

x (Iterable of float) – Values of the random variable
p (Iterable of float) – Discrete probability for each value

Variables

x (Iterable of float) – Values of the random variable
p (Iterable of float) – Discrete probability for each value

classmethod from_xml_element(elem)[source]¶

Generate discrete distribution from an XML element

Parameters: elem (xml.etree.ElementTree.Element) – XML element
Returns: Discrete distribution generated from XML element
Return type: openmc.stats.Discrete

to_xml_element(element_name)[source]¶

Return XML representation of the discrete distribution

Parameters: element_name (str) – XML element name
Returns: element – XML element containing discrete distribution data
Return type: xml.etree.ElementTree.Element
