something that returns a linear function compatible with lognorm.pdf and lognorm.cdf?

[Afterdarkreader]

I'm trying to figure out how to make a lognorm function compatible with a linear function. Any ideas?

[micseydel]

This doesn't seem like a generic Python question. Is it a math question? Or a question about (a) specific module(s)?

It's a question about numpy and scipy. I'm using the lognorm function in scipy.stats, and I need to add a linear growth function. I was wondering if anyone knew a function I could use that would make this work. Here's my code:

import numpy as np
from scipy.stats import lognorm
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from math import exp


def runLognormal(start, current, mean, cumImpact, peakFactor):
    scale = exp(mean)
    return lognorm.pdf(current, peakFactor, start, scale)*cumImpact
    
def runLinear(start, stop, changePerQ, x):
    numIterations = (stop-start)*100
    y = np.array([])
    for x in range(start, stop):
        np.append(y, changePerQ)
    return y

     
x = np.linspace(0, 212, num=21200)
tax1 = runLognormal(92, x, 0.036, 0.071, 0.55)

label1 = runLinear(80, 160, 0.0006875, x)


############################################### GRAPH LABEL 1
fig, lbl1 = plt.subplots(1, 1)
label1X = np.linspace(80, 160, num = 8000)
lbl1.set_title('Text Based Labels')
lbl1.set_xlabel('Quarter')
lbl1.set_ylabel('Cumulative Effect')
lbl1.plot(label1X, runLinear(80, 160, 0.0006875, label1X))
##############################################################

veganGrowth = tax1 + label1

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
ax.set_title('Instantaneous Rate of Change in Population')
ax.set_xlabel('$Quarter$')
ax.set_ylabel('$Population Omnivores$')
ax.plot(x, veganGrowth)

right now neither the graph of the linear function (it's supposed to return a straight line or the ax plot is working. I'm getting a 'x and y must have the same first dimension' error for both.

Error for Label graph:

Error for the main graph with label graph commented out (note, in this version I took out about 50 iterations of the lognorm function, I know the problem is in the linear function because it graphs if I take that out)
