Generate data

n = 100  # nb bins

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

# Gaussian distributions
a = gauss(n, m=20, s=5)  # m= mean, s= std
b = gauss(n, m=60, s=10)

# loss matrix
M = ot.dist(x.reshape((n, 1)), x.reshape((n, 1)))
M /= M.max()

Plot distributions and loss matrix

pl.figure(1, figsize=(6.4, 3))
pl.plot(x, a, "b", label="Source distribution")
pl.plot(x, b, "r", label="Target distribution")

Solve Smooth OT
