Notes

Let’s note $\vect{Y}=\Tr{(Y_1,\dots,Y_n)}$ a random vector and $I \in [1,n]$ a set of indices. If $\vect{Y}$ is a UsualRandomVector, the subvector is defined by $\tilde{\vect{Y}}=\Tr{(Y_i)}_{i \in I}$ . If $\vect{Y}$ is a CompositeRandomVector, defined by $\vect{Y}=f(\vect{X})$ with $f=(f_1,\dots,f_n)$ , $f_i$ some scalar functions, the subvector is $\tilde{\vect{Y}}=(f_i(\vect{X}))_{i \in I}$ .

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> distribution = ot.Normal([0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0], ot.CorrelationMatrix(2))
>>> randomVector = ot.RandomVector(distribution)
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
