  • plot_CI (bool, optional) – True or False. Default = True. Only used if the distribution object was created by Fitters.

  • CI_type (str, optional) – Must be either “time”, “reliability”, or “none”. Default is “time”. Only used if the distribution object was created by Fitters.

  • CI (float, optional) – The confidence interval between 0 and 1. Only used if the distribution object was created by Fitters.

  • CI_y (list, array, optional) – The confidence interval y-values to trace. Only used if the distribution object was created by Fitters and CI_type=’time’.

  • CI_x (list, array, optional) – The confidence interval x-values to trace. Only used if the distribution object was created by Fitters and CI_type=’reliability’.

  • kwargs – Plotting keywords that are passed directly to matplotlib (e.g. color, linestyle)

Returns:
