sympy.stats.Skellam() function in Python

Last Updated : 18 Aug, 2020

With the help of sympy.stats.Skellam() method, we can create a discrete random variable with a Skellam distribution. 

The Skellam is the distribution of the difference N1 - N2 of two statistically independent random variables N1 and N2 each Poisson-distributed with respective expected values mu1 and mu2.

Syntax:  sympy.stats.Skellam(name, mu1, mu2)

Parameters:
 mu1:  A non-negative value
 mu2: A non-negative value


Returns: discrete random variable with a Skellam distribution.

Example #1 :

Output:

(mu1/mu2)**(z/2)*exp(-mu1 - mu2)*besseli(z, 2*sqrt(mu1)*sqrt(mu2))

Example #2 :

Output:

sqrt(2)*exp(-3)*besseli(3, 2*sqrt(2))/4
