OrthogonalDirection

class OrthogonalDirection(*args)

Sampling following the orthogonal direction strategy.

Available constructor:

OrthogonalDirection()

OrthogonalDirection(dimension, k)

Parameters
dimensioninteger

The dimension of the standard space. By default, dimension = 0 but automatically updated by the calling class.

kint

The number of elements in the linear combinations. By default, k = 1 but automatically updated by the calling class.

Notes

This strategy is parameterized by k \in \{1, \ldots, n\}, where n is the dimension of the input random vector \vect{X}. We generate one direct orthonormalized basis (\vect{e}_1, \ldots, \vect{e}_n) uniformly distributed in the set of direct orthonormal bases. We consider all the normalized linear combinations of k vectors chosen within the n vectors of the basis, where the coefficients of the linear combinations are in \{+1, -1\}. This generates \binom{k}{n} 2^k new vectors \vect{v}_i. We sample according to all the directions defined by the vectors \vect{v}_i.

If k = 1, we consider all the axes of the standard space.
