Generate data

# parameters

n = 100  # nb bins

# bin positions
x = np.arange(n, dtype=np.float64)

# Gaussian distributions
a1 = ot.datasets.make_1D_gauss(n, m=20, s=5)  # m= mean, s= std
a2 = ot.datasets.make_1D_gauss(n, m=60, s=8)

# make unbalanced dists
a2 *= 3.

# creating matrix A containing all distributions
A = np.vstack((a1, a2)).T
n_distributions = A.shape[1]

# loss matrix + normalization

M /= M.max()

Plot data

Barycenter computation
