exponential_quantile

std.stats.exponential_quantile · Level L5

The exponential distribution's quantile: −log(1 − p)/λ, written with log1p so that small p keep their relative accuracy.

F⁻¹(p) = −log(1 − p)/λ

Signature

exponential_quantile(p: f64[n], rate: f64[]) → f64[n]

Structure

The function as NOVA stores it: one box per input, operation and output, and arrows that carry values. A double border marks another library function this one runs — called once, or by Scan once per element; select it to open that function.

Verification

  • Signature proven by NOVA’s shape solver, for every size.
  • Agrees with the reference −np.log(1 − p)/rate to 80 digits (100-digit arithmetic), on all 40 test cases.
  • All 165 float64 results inside the running error bound; the closest uses 20% of it.
  • Interpreter and NumPy backend return bit-identical results.
  • At float32 too: the 40 test cases rounded to float32, and 40 of them inside the running error bound at u = 2⁻²⁴; the closest uses 19% of it.

The semantic hash of the graph. It changes when the program changes, and never when only its documentation does.

Needs
no capability: a pure function

Through NOVA’s control layer, the symbol launches this function only while the program still matches what it pins: a change to this graph, or to any graph it reaches, needs a migration first.
