ambulance_simulation.generate_service_times#

ambulance_simulation.generate_service_times(s: float, loc: float, scale: float, rng: numpy.random._generator.Generator | numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState, size: int, CUT_OFF: float) → ndarray#

Generates service times from the lognormal distribution.

Note that a new data value is generated until it is between 0 and the CUT_OFF value. Only then it is added to the service_times output array.

Parameters:

  • s (float) – The sigma parameter.

  • loc (float) – The location parameter.

  • scale (float) – The scale parameter.

  • rng (rnd._generator.Generator | rnd.mtrand.RandomState) – An initialized random number generator.

  • size (int) – The number of service times to generate.

  • CUT_OFF (float) – The cut off/maximum value.

Returns:

service_times (np.ndarray) – The generated service times.
