improver.expected_value module

Calculation of expected value from a probability distribution.

class ExpectedValue[source]

Bases: PostProcessingPlugin

Calculation of expected value from a probability distribution

_abc_impl = <_abc_data object>

static integrate_over_thresholds(cube)[source]

Calculation of expected value for threshold data by converting from cumulative distribution (CDF) to probability density (PDF), then integrating over the threshold dimension.

Parameters:: cube (Cube) – Probabilistic data with a threshold coordinate.
Return type:: Cube
Returns:: Expected value of probability distribution. Same shape as input cube but with threshold coordinate removed.

process(cube)[source]

Expected value calculation and metadata updates.

Parameters:: cube (Cube) – Probabilistic data with a realization, threshold or percentile representation.
Return type:: Cube
Returns:: Expected value of probability distribution. Same shape as input cube but with realization/threshold/percentile coordinate removed.
