# qp

Quantile parametrization for probability distribution functions.

[](https://travis-ci.org/aimalz/qp)[](http://qp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)

## Motivation This repository exists for two reasons.

1. To be the home of qp, a python package for handling probability distributions using various parametrizations, including a set of quantiles;

2. To help us learn best practices in software carpentry.
