One could also create custom distribution and define custom random variables as follows:
If you want to create a Continuous Random Variable:
>>> from sympy.stats import ContinuousRV, P, E
>>> from sympy import exp, Symbol, Interval, oo
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> pdf = exp(-x) # pdf of the Continuous Distribution
>>> Z = ContinuousRV(x, pdf, set=Interval(0, oo))
>>> E(Z)
1
>>> P(Z > 5)
exp(-5)
1.1 To create an instance of Continuous Distribution:
>>> from sympy.stats import ContinuousDistributionHandmade
>>> from sympy import Lambda
>>> dist = ContinuousDistributionHandmade(Lambda(x, pdf), set=Interval(0, oo))
>>> dist.pdf(x)
exp(-x)
If you want to create a Discrete Random Variable:
>>> from sympy.stats import DiscreteRV, P, E
>>> from sympy import Symbol, S
>>> p = S(1)/2
>>> x = Symbol('x', integer=True, positive=True)
>>> pdf = p*(1 - p)**(x - 1)
>>> D = DiscreteRV(x, pdf, set=S.Naturals)
>>> E(D)
2
>>> P(D > 3)
1/8

>>> from sympy.stats import DiscreteDistributionHandmade
>>> from sympy import Lambda
>>> dist = DiscreteDistributionHandmade(Lambda(x, pdf), set=S.Naturals)

2**(1 - x)/2
If you want to create a Finite Random Variable:
>>> from sympy.stats import FiniteRV, P, E
>>> from sympy import Rational, Eq
>>> pmf = {1: Rational(1, 3), 2: Rational(1, 6), 3: Rational(1, 4), 4: Rational(1, 4)}

>>> E(X)
29/12
>>> P(X > 3)
1/4

- class sympy.stats.DiscreteMarkovChain(sym, state_space=None, trans_probs=None)[source]
Represents a finite discrete time-homogeneous Markov chain.
This type of Markov Chain can be uniquely characterised by its (ordered) state space and its one-step transition probability matrix.
- Parameters
sym:
The name given to the Markov Chain
state_space:
Optional, by default, Range(n)
trans_probs:
Optional, by default, MatrixSymbol(‘_T’, n, n)
Examples
>>> from sympy.stats import DiscreteMarkovChain, TransitionMatrixOf, P, E >>> from sympy import Matrix, MatrixSymbol, Eq, symbols >>> T = Matrix([[0.5, 0.2, 0.3],[0.2, 0.5, 0.3],[0.2, 0.3, 0.5]]) >>> Y = DiscreteMarkovChain("Y", [0, 1, 2], T) >>> YS = DiscreteMarkovChain("Y")
>>> Y.state_space {0, 1, 2} >>> Y.transition_probabilities Matrix([ [0.5, 0.2, 0.3], [0.2, 0.5, 0.3], [0.2, 0.3, 0.5]]) >>> TS = MatrixSymbol('T', 3, 3) >>> P(Eq(YS[3], 2), Eq(YS[1], 1) & TransitionMatrixOf(YS, TS)) T[0, 2]*T[1, 0] + T[1, 1]*T[1, 2] + T[1, 2]*T[2, 2] >>> P(Eq(Y[3], 2), Eq(Y[1], 1)).round(2) 0.36
Probabilities will be calculated based on indexes rather than state names. For example, with the Sunny-Cloudy-Rainy model with string state names:
>>> from sympy.core.symbol import Str >>> Y = DiscreteMarkovChain("Y", [Str('Sunny'), Str('Cloudy'), Str('Rainy')], T) >>> P(Eq(Y[3], 2), Eq(Y[1], 1)).round(2) 0.36
This gives the same answer as the
[0, 1, 2]state space. Currently, there is no support for state names within probability and expectation statements. Here is a work-around usingStr:>>> P(Eq(Str('Rainy'), Y[3]), Eq(Y[1], Str('Cloudy'))).round(2) 0.36
Symbol state names can also be used:
>>> sunny, cloudy, rainy = symbols('Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy') >>> Y = DiscreteMarkovChain("Y", [sunny, cloudy, rainy], T) >>> P(Eq(Y[3], rainy), Eq(Y[1], cloudy)).round(2) 0.36
Expectations will be calculated as follows:
>>> E(Y[3], Eq(Y[1], cloudy)) 0.38*Cloudy + 0.36*Rainy + 0.26*Sunny
Probability of expressions with multiple RandomIndexedSymbols can also be calculated provided there is only 1 RandomIndexedSymbol in the given condition. It is always better to use Rational instead of floating point numbers for the probabilities in the transition matrix to avoid errors.
>>> from sympy import Gt, Le, Rational >>> T = Matrix([[Rational(5, 10), Rational(3, 10), Rational(2, 10)], [Rational(2, 10), Rational(7, 10), Rational(1, 10)], [Rational(3, 10), Rational(3, 10), Rational(4, 10)]]) >>> Y = DiscreteMarkovChain("Y", [0, 1, 2], T) >>> P(Eq(Y[3], Y[1]), Eq(Y[0], 0)).round(3) 0.409 >>> P(Gt(Y[3], Y[1]), Eq(Y[0], 0)).round(2) 0.36 >>> P(Le(Y[15], Y[10]), Eq(Y[8], 2)).round(7) 0.6963328
Symbolic probability queries are also supported
>>> a, b, c, d = symbols('a b c d') >>> T = Matrix([[Rational(1, 10), Rational(4, 10), Rational(5, 10)], [Rational(3, 10), Rational(4, 10), Rational(3, 10)], [Rational(7, 10), Rational(2, 10), Rational(1, 10)]]) >>> Y = DiscreteMarkovChain("Y", [0, 1, 2], T) >>> query = P(Eq(Y[a], b), Eq(Y[c], d)) >>> query.subs({a:10, b:2, c:5, d:1}).round(4) 0.3096 >>> P(Eq(Y[10], 2), Eq(Y[5], 1)).evalf().round(4) 0.3096 >>> query_gt = P(Gt(Y[a], b), Eq(Y[c], d)) >>> query_gt.subs({a:21, b:0, c:5, d:0}).evalf().round(5) 0.64705 >>> P(Gt(Y[21], 0), Eq(Y[5], 0)).round(5) 0.64705
There is limited support for arbitrarily sized states:
>>> n = symbols('n', nonnegative=True, integer=True) >>> T = MatrixSymbol('T', n, n) >>> Y = DiscreteMarkovChain("Y", trans_probs=T) >>> Y.state_space Range(0, n, 1) >>> query = P(Eq(Y[a], b), Eq(Y[c], d)) >>> query.subs({a:10, b:2, c:5, d:1}) (T**5)[1, 2]

states, P_new
statesis the list that describes the order of the new states in the matrix so that the ith element instatesis the state of the ith row of A.P_newis the new transition matrix in canonical form.
Examples
>>> from sympy.stats import DiscreteMarkovChain >>> from sympy import Matrix, S
You can convert your chain into canonical form:
>>> T = Matrix([[S(1)/2, S(1)/2, 0, 0, 0], ... [S(2)/5, S(1)/5, S(2)/5, 0, 0], ... [0, 0, 1, 0, 0], ... [0, 0, S(1)/2, S(1)/2, 0], ... [S(1)/2, 0, 0, 0, S(1)/2]]) >>> X = DiscreteMarkovChain('X', list(range(1, 6)), trans_probs=T) >>> states, new_matrix = X.canonical_form() >>> states [3, 1, 2, 4, 5]
>>> new_matrix Matrix([ [ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0], [ 0, 1/2, 1/2, 0, 0], [2/5, 2/5, 1/5, 0, 0], [1/2, 0, 0, 1/2, 0], [ 0, 1/2, 0, 0, 1/2]])
The new states are [3, 1, 2, 4, 5] and you can create a new chain with this and its canonical form will remain the same (since it is already in canonical form).
>>> X = DiscreteMarkovChain('X', states, new_matrix) >>> states, new_matrix = X.canonical_form() >>> states [3, 1, 2, 4, 5]
>>> new_matrix Matrix([ [ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0], [ 0, 1/2, 1/2, 0, 0], [2/5, 2/5, 1/5, 0, 0], [1/2, 0, 0, 1/2, 0], [ 0, 1/2, 0, 0, 1/2]])
This is not limited to absorbing chains:
>>> T = Matrix([[0, 5, 5, 0, 0], ... [0, 0, 0, 10, 0], ... [5, 0, 5, 0, 0], ... [0, 10, 0, 0, 0], ... [0, 3, 0, 3, 4]])/10 >>> X = DiscreteMarkovChain('X', trans_probs=T) >>> states, new_matrix = X.canonical_form() >>> states [1, 3, 0, 2, 4]
>>> new_matrix Matrix([ [ 0, 1, 0, 0, 0], [ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0], [ 1/2, 0, 0, 1/2, 0], [ 0, 0, 1/2, 1/2, 0], [3/10, 3/10, 0, 0, 2/5]])

- communication_classes() List[Tuple[List[sympy.core.basic.Basic], sympy.logic.boolalg.Boolean, sympy.core.numbers.Integer]][source]
Returns the list of communication classes that partition the states of the markov chain.
A communication class is defined to be a set of states such that every state in that set is reachable from every other state in that set. Due to its properties this forms a class in the mathematical sense. Communication classes are also known as recurrence classes.
- Returns
classes
The
classesare a list of tuples. Each tuple represents a single communication class with its properties. The first element in the tuple is the list of states in the class, the second element is whether the class is recurrent and the third element is the period of the communication class.
Examples
>>> from sympy.stats import DiscreteMarkovChain >>> from sympy import Matrix >>> T = Matrix([[0, 1, 0], ... [1, 0, 0], ... [1, 0, 0]]) >>> X = DiscreteMarkovChain('X', [1, 2, 3], T) >>> classes = X.communication_classes() >>> for states, is_recurrent, period in classes: ... states, is_recurrent, period ([1, 2], True, 2) ([3], False, 1)
From this we can see that states
1and2communicate, are recurrent and have a period of 2. We can also see state3is transient with a period of 1.Notes
The algorithm used is of order
O(n**2)wherenis the number of states in the markov chain. It uses Tarjan’s algorithm to find the classes themselves and then it uses a breadth-first search algorithm to find each class’s periodicity. Most of the algorithm’s components approachO(n)as the matrix becomes more and more sparse.References
- decompose() Tuple[List[sympy.core.basic.Basic], sympy.matrices.immutable.ImmutableDenseMatrix, sympy.matrices.immutable.ImmutableDenseMatrix, sympy.matrices.immutable.ImmutableDenseMatrix][source]
Decomposes the transition matrix into submatrices with special properties.
The transition matrix can be decomposed into 4 submatrices: - A - the submatrix from recurrent states to recurrent states. - B - the submatrix from transient to recurrent states. - C - the submatrix from transient to transient states. - O - the submatrix of zeros for recurrent to transient states.
- Returns
states, A, B, C
states- a list of state names with the first being the recurrent states and the last being the transient states in the order of the row names of A and then the row names of C.A- the submatrix from recurrent states to recurrent states.B- the submatrix from transient to recurrent states.C- the submatrix from transient to transient states.
Examples
>>> from sympy.stats import DiscreteMarkovChain >>> from sympy import Matrix, S
One can decompose this chain for example:
>>> T = Matrix([[S(1)/2, S(1)/2, 0, 0, 0], ... [S(2)/5, S(1)/5, S(2)/5, 0, 0], ... [0, 0, 1, 0, 0], ... [0, 0, S(1)/2, S(1)/2, 0], ... [S(1)/2, 0, 0, 0, S(1)/2]]) >>> X = DiscreteMarkovChain('X', trans_probs=T) >>> states, A, B, C = X.decompose() >>> states [2, 0, 1, 3, 4]
>>> A # recurrent to recurrent Matrix([[1]])
>>> B # transient to recurrent Matrix([ [ 0], [2/5], [1/2], [ 0]])
>>> C # transient to transient Matrix([ [1/2, 1/2, 0, 0], [2/5, 1/5, 0, 0], [ 0, 0, 1/2, 0], [1/2, 0, 0, 1/2]])
This means that state 2 is the only absorbing state (since A is a 1x1 matrix). B is a 4x1 matrix since the 4 remaining transient states all merge into reccurent state 2. And C is the 4x4 matrix that shows how the transient states 0, 1, 3, 4 all interact.

Mechanics
SymPy Stats employs a relatively complex class hierarchy.
RandomDomains are a mapping of variables to possible values.
For example, we might say that the symbol Symbol('x') can
take on the values \(\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}\).
A PSpace, or Probability Space, combines a RandomDomain
with a density to provide probabilistic information. For example
the above domain could be enhanced by a finite density
{1:1/6, 2:1/6, 3:1/6, 4:1/6, 5:1/6, 6:1/6} to
fully define the roll of a fair die named x.
A RandomSymbol represents the PSpace’s symbol ‘x’ inside of SymPy expressions.
The RandomDomain and PSpace classes are almost never directly instantiated. Instead they are subclassed for a variety of situations.
RandomDomains and PSpaces must be sufficiently general to represent domains and spaces of several variables with arbitrarily complex densities. This generality is often unnecessary. Instead we often build SingleDomains and SinglePSpaces to represent single, univariate events and processes such as a single die or a single normal variable.
Another common case is to collect together a set of such univariate random variables. A collection of independent SinglePSpaces or SingleDomains can be brought together to form a ProductDomain or ProductPSpace. These objects would be useful in representing three dice rolled together for example.
The Conditional adjective is added whenever we add a global condition to a RandomDomain or PSpace. A common example would be three independent dice where we know their sum to be greater than 12.
We specialize further into Finite and Continuous versions of these classes to represent finite (such as dice) and continuous (such as normals) random variables.
Additionally there are a few specialized classes that implement certain common random variable types. There is for example a DiePSpace that implements SingleFinitePSpace and a NormalPSpace that implements SingleContinuousPSpace.
- class sympy.stats.frv_types.DiePSpace
- class sympy.stats.crv_types.NormalPSpace
RandomVariables can be extracted from these objects using the PSpace.values method.
As previously mentioned SymPy Stats employs a relatively complex class structure. Inheritance is widely used in the implementation of end-level classes. This tactic was chosen to balance between the need to allow SymPy to represent arbitrarily defined random variables and optimizing for common cases. This complicates the code but is structured to only be important to those working on extending SymPy Stats to other random variable types.
Users will not use this class structure. Instead these mechanics are exposed through variable creation functions Die, Coin, FiniteRV, Normal, Exponential, etc…. These build the appropriate SinglePSpaces and return the corresponding RandomVariable. Conditional and Product spaces are formed in the natural construction of SymPy expressions and the use of interface functions E, Given, Density, etc….
- sympy.stats.Die()
- sympy.stats.Normal()
There are some additional functions that may be useful. They are largely used internally.
- sympy.stats.rv.pspace(expr)[source]
Returns the underlying Probability Space of a random expression.
For internal use.
Examples
>>> from sympy.stats import pspace, Normal >>> X = Normal('X', 0, 1) >>> pspace(2*X + 1) == X.pspace True
- sympy.stats.rv.rs_swap(a, b)[source]
Build a dictionary to swap RandomSymbols based on their underlying symbol.
i.e. if
X = ('x', pspace1)andY = ('x', pspace2)thenXandYmatch and the key, value pair{X:Y}will appear in the resultInputs: collections a and b of random variables which share common symbols Output: dict mapping RVs in a to RVs in b
