Hi,

Trying to write something with sympy for the first time... I'm stuck with 
some error and not to sure which way to look. The code is fairly short: I 
define a profit function, a cdf, and would like to compute the expected 
profit for a range of prices, depending on some parameter's value:

s_theta, s_p, s_p_bar, s_eta, s_gamma = symbols('s_theta s_p s_p_bar s_eta 
s_gamma')

class function_profit(Function):
  nargs = 4
  
  @classmethod
  def eval(cls, s_theta, s_p, s_p_bar, s_eta):
    return Piecewise((0, s_p > s_p_bar), ((s_p - 0.1)*(s_theta + 
s_p**(-s_eta)), True))

class function_cdf_theta(Function):
  nargs = 2
  
  @classmethod
  def eval(cls, s_theta, s_gamma):
    return Piecewise((0, s_theta < 0), (1, s_theta > 1), (s_theta**s_gamma, 
True))

class function_expected_profit(Function):
  nargs = 4
  
  @classmethod
  def eval(cls, s_p, s_p_bar, s_eta, s_gamma):
    return integrate(function_profit(s_theta, s_p, s_p_bar, s_eta)*\
                     diff(function_cdf_theta(s_theta, s_gamma), s_theta), 
(s_theta, 0, 1))

for gamma in [0.5, 0.7, 1.0]:
  x_axis = np.linspace(0.1, 2.0, int(round(((2.0-0.1)/0.1)))+1)
  ls_profits = [function_expected_profit(x, 2.0, 2.0, gamma) for x in 
x_axis]
  plt.plot(x_axis, ls_profits, label = 'gamma = %s' %gamma)
legend = plt.legend(loc='upper right')
plt.show()

The profit and cdf functions seem to work fine, the differentiation of the 
cdf as well... but I can compute the expected profit only for gamma = 1. 
Trying to compute the expected profit with gamma = 0.5, I get "ValueError: 
Non-suitable parameters.".

Many thanks for your time and sorry about the noobish question,

Etienne
