Simulate Quantities

Simulate waiting times from a quantity distribution.

In[1]:=

wait\[ScriptCapitalD] = QuantityDistribution[ExponentialDistribution[.4], "Minutes"]

Out[1]=

Single observation is a Quantity.

In[2]:=

RandomVariate[wait\[ScriptCapitalD]]

Out[2]=

A sample of multiple observations is a QuantityArray.

In[3]:=

sample = RandomVariate[wait\[ScriptCapitalD], 100]

Out[3]=

Visualize the sample using Histogram.

In[4]:=

Histogram[sample, AxesLabel -> Automatic]

Out[4]=

Calculate selected descriptive statistics of the sample.

In[5]:=

stats = {Mean, Median, Min, Max}; TableForm[Map[#[sample] &, stats], TableHeadings -> {stats, None}]

Out[5]//TableForm=
