def interval(self, alpha, unit=None, as_quantity=False, wrap_at=None)

Expose the range that contains alpha percent of the distribution.

For Samples, this directly calls Samples.ppf for 0.5 - alpha/2 and 0.5 + alpha/2.

Arguments

alpha (float): passed directly to scipy (see link above)
unit (astropy.unit, optional, default=None): unit of the values in x to expose. If None or not provided, will assume they're in Samples.unit.
as_quantity (bool, optional, default=False): whether to return an astropy quantity object instead of just the value. Astropy must be installed.
wrap_at (float, None, or False, optional, default=None): value to use for wrapping. See Samples.wrap. If not provided or None, will use the value from Samples.wrap_at. Note: wrapping is computed before changing units, so wrap_at must be provided according to Samples.unit not unit.
