class Mixture(*args)

Build a linear combination of probability density functions.

Parameters
collDistsequence of Distribution,

The collection of distributions which compose the linear combination.

weightssequence of float, optional

A sequence with each component \geq 0, of dimension equal to the size of collDist. The collection of weights applied to the collection of distributions. By default, the weights fulfilled inside each distribution are used (if any), thanks to the method collDist[i].setWeight(myWeight). If not set, the weights are all taken equal to 1. The weights are automatically normalized so that their sum is equal to 1.

Notes

The probability density function of a Mixture is defined by:

f(x) =  \sum_{i=1}^N \alpha_i p_i(x), \quad \alpha_i \geq 0, \quad \sum_i \alpha_i = 1

Examples

Create a Mixture:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> collDist = [ot.Triangular(1.0, 2.0, 4.0), ot.Normal(-1.0, 1.0), ot.Uniform(5.0, 6.0)]
>>> weight = [0.4, 1.0, 0.2]
>>> myMixture = ot.Mixture(collDist, weight)

computeMinimumVolumeInterval(prob)

Compute the confidence interval with minimum volume.

Parameters
alphafloat, \alpha \in [0,1]

The confidence level.

Returns
confIntervalInterval

The confidence interval of level \alpha.

Notes

We consider an absolutely continuous measure \mu with density function p.

The minimum volume confidence interval I^*_{\alpha} is the cartesian product I^*_{\alpha} = [a_1, b_1] \times \dots \times [a_d, b_d] where [a_i, b_i]   = \argmin_{I \in \Rset \, | \, \mu_i(I) = \beta} \lambda_i(I) and \mu(I^*_{\alpha})  =  \alpha with \lambda is the Lebesgue measure on \Rset^d.

This problem resorts to solving d univariate non linear equations: for a fixed value \beta, we find each intervals [a_i, b_i] such that:

\begin{eqnarray*}
F_i(b_i) - F_i(a_i) & = & \beta \\
p_i(b_i) & = & p_i(a_i)
\end{eqnarray*}

which consists of finding the bound a_i such that:

p_i(a_i) =  p_i(F_i^{-1}(\beta + F_i(a_i)))

To find \beta, we use the Brent algorithm: \mu([\vect{a}(\beta); \vect{b}(\beta)] = g(\beta) = \alpha with g a non linear function.

marginalProbfloat

The value \beta which is the common marginal probability of each marginal interval.

Examples

Create a sample from a Normal distribution:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> sample = ot.Normal().getSample(10)
>>> ot.ResourceMap.SetAsUnsignedInteger('DistributionFactory-DefaultBootstrapSize', 100)

Fit a Normal distribution and extract the asymptotic parameters distribution:

>>> fittedRes = ot.NormalFactory().buildEstimator(sample)
>>> paramDist = fittedRes.getParameterDistribution()

>>> ot.ResourceMap.SetAsUnsignedInteger('Distribution-MinimumVolumeLevelSetSamplingSize', 1000)
>>> confInt, marginalProb = paramDist.computeMinimumVolumeIntervalWithMarginalProbability(0.9)
computeMinimumVolumeLevelSet(prob)

Compute the confidence domain with minimum volume.

Parameters
alphafloat, \alpha \in [0,1]

The confidence level.

Returns
levelSetLevelSet

The minimum volume domain of measure \alpha.

Notes

We consider an absolutely continuous measure \mu with density function p.

The minimum volume confidence domain A^*_{\alpha} is the set of minimum volume and which measure is at least \alpha. It is defined by:

A^*_{\alpha} = \argmin_{A \in \Rset^d\, | \, \mu(A) \geq \alpha} \lambda(A)

where \lambda is the Lebesgue measure on \Rset^d. Under some general conditions on \mu (for example, no flat regions), the set A^*_{\alpha} is unique and realises the minimum: \mu(A^*_{\alpha}) = \alpha. We show that A^*_{\alpha} writes:

A^*_{\alpha} = \{ \vect{x} \in \Rset^d \, | \, p(\vect{x}) \geq p_{\alpha} \}

for a certain p_{\alpha} >0.

If we consider the random variable Y = p(\vect{X}), with cumulative distribution function F_Y, then p_{\alpha} is defined by:

1-F_Y(p_{\alpha}) = \alpha

Thus the minimum volume domain of confidence \alpha is the interior of the domain which frontier is the 1-\alpha quantile of Y. It can be determined with simulations of Y.

computeSequentialConditionalCDF(x)

Compute the sequential conditional cumulative distribution functions.

Parameters
Xsequence of float, with size d

Values to be taken sequentially as argument and conditioning part of the CDF.

Returns
Fsequence of float

Conditional CDF values at input.

Notes

The sequential conditional cumulative distribution function is defined as follows:

F^{seq}_{X_1,\ldots,X_d}(x_1,\ldots,x_d) = \left(\Prob{X_n \leq x_n \mid X_1=x_1, \ldots, X_{n-1}=x_{n-1}}\right)_{i=1,\ldots,d}

ie its n-th component is the conditional CDF of X_n at x_n given that X_1=x_1,\ldots,X_{n-1}=x_{n-1}. For n=1 it reduces to \Prob{X_1 \leq x_1}, ie the CDF of the first component at x_1.

computeSequentialConditionalDDF(x)

Compute the sequential conditional derivative density function.

Parameters
Xsequence of float, with size d

Values to be taken sequentially as argument and conditioning part of the DDF.

Returns
ddfsequence of float

Conditional DDF values at input.

Notes

The sequential conditional derivative density function is defined as follows:

ddf^{seq}_{X_1,\ldots,X_d}(x_1,\ldots,x_d) = \left(\dfrac{d^2}{d\,x_n^2}\Prob{X_n \leq x_n \mid X_1=x_1, \ldots, X_{n-1}=x_{n-1}}\right)_{i=1,\ldots,d}

ie its n-th component is the conditional DDF of X_n at x_n given that X_1=x_1,\ldots,X_{n-1}=x_{n-1}. For n=1 it reduces to \dfrac{d^2}{d\,x_1^2}\Prob{X_1 \leq x_1}, ie the DDF of the first component at x_1.

computeSequentialConditionalPDF(x)

Compute the sequential conditional probability density function.

Parameters
Xsequence of float, with size d

Values to be taken sequentially as argument and conditioning part of the PDF.

Returns
pdfsequence of float

Conditional PDF values at input.

Notes

The sequential conditional density function is defined as follows:

pdf^{seq}_{X_1,\ldots,X_d}(x_1,\ldots,x_d) = \left(\dfrac{d}{d\,x_n}\Prob{X_n \leq x_n \mid X_1=x_1, \ldots, X_{n-1}=x_{n-1}}\right)_{i=1,\ldots,d}

ie its n-th component is the conditional PDF of X_n at x_n given that X_1=x_1,\ldots,X_{n-1}=x_{n-1}. For n=1 it reduces to \dfrac{d}{d\,x_1}\Prob{X_1 \leq x_1}, ie the PDF of the first component at x_1.

computeSequentialConditionalQuantile(q)

Compute the conditional quantile function of the last component.

Parameters
qsequence of float in [0,1], with size d

Values to be taken sequentially as the argument of the conditional quantile.

Returns
Qsequence of float

Conditional quantiles values at input.

Notes

The sequential conditional quantile function is defined as follows:

Q^{seq}_{X_1,\ldots,X_d}(q_1,\ldots,q_d) = \left(F^{-1}(q_n|X_1=x_1,\ldots,X_{n-1}=x_{n_1}\right)_{i=1,\ldots,d}

where x_1,\ldots,x_{n-1} are defined recursively as x_1=F_1^{-1}(q_1) and given (x_i)_{i=1,\ldots,n-1}, x_n=F^{-1}(q_n|X_1=x_1,\ldots,X_{n-1}=x_{n_1}): the conditioning part is the set of already computed conditional quantiles.

Parameters
xsequence of float, 2-d sequence of float

Survival function input(s).

Returns
Sfloat, Point

Survival function value(s) at input(s) x.

Notes

The survival function of the random vector \vect{X} is defined as follows:

S_{\vect{X}}(\vect{x}) = \Prob{\bigcap_{i=1}^d X_i > x_i}
         \quad \forall \vect{x} \in \Rset^d

Returns
confIntervalInterval

Notes

We consider an absolutely continuous measure \mu.

The left unilateral confidence interval I^*_{\alpha} is the cartesian product I^*_{\alpha} = ]-\infty, b_1] \times \dots \times ]-\infty, b_d] where b_i = F_i^{-1}(\beta) for all i and which verifies \mu(I^*_{\alpha}) = \alpha. It means that \vect{b} is the quantile of level \alpha of the measure \mu, with iso-quantile components.

The right unilateral confidence interval I^*_{\alpha} is the cartesian product I^*_{\alpha} = ]a_1; +\infty[ \times \dots \times ]a_d; +\infty[ where a_i = F_i^{-1}(1-\beta) for all i and which verifies \mu(I^*_{\alpha}) = \alpha. It means that S_{\mu}^{-1}(\vect{a}) = \alpha with iso-quantile components, where S_{\mu} is the survival function of the measure \mu.

getInverseIsoProbabilisticTransformation()

Accessor to the inverse iso-probabilistic transformation.

Returns
TinvFunction

Inverse iso-probabilistic transformation.

Notes

The inverse iso-probabilistic transformation is defined as follows:

T^{-1}: \left|\begin{array}{rcl}
            \Rset^n & \rightarrow & \supp{\vect{X}} \\
            \vect{u} & \mapsto & \vect{x}
        \end{array}\right.

getIsoProbabilisticTransformation()

Accessor to the iso-probabilistic transformation.

Refer to Isoprobabilistic transformations.

Returns
TFunction

Iso-probabilistic transformation.

Notes

The iso-probabilistic transformation is defined as follows:

T: \left|\begin{array}{rcl}
        \supp{\vect{X}} & \rightarrow & \Rset^n \\
        \vect{x} & \mapsto & \vect{u}
   \end{array}\right.

An iso-probabilistic transformation is a diffeomorphism 1 from \supp{\vect{X}} to \Rset^d that maps realizations \vect{x} of a random vector \vect{X} into realizations \vect{y} of another random vector \vect{Y} while preserving probabilities. It is hence defined so that it satisfies:

\begin{eqnarray*}
    \Prob{\bigcap_{i=1}^d X_i \leq x_i}
        & = & \Prob{\bigcap_{i=1}^d Y_i \leq y_i} \\
    F_{\vect{X}}(\vect{x})
        & = & F_{\vect{Y}}(\vect{y})
\end{eqnarray*}

The present implementation of the iso-probabilistic transformation maps realizations \vect{x} into realizations \vect{u} of a random vector \vect{U} with spherical distribution 2. To be more specific:

  • if the distribution is elliptical, then the transformed distribution is simply made spherical using the Nataf (linear) transformation.

  • if the distribution has an elliptical Copula, then the transformed distribution is made spherical using the generalized Nataf transformation.

  • otherwise, the transformed distribution is the standard multivariate Normal distribution and is obtained by means of the Rosenblatt transformation.

1

A differentiable map f is called a diffeomorphism if it is a bijection and its inverse f^{-1} is differentiable as well. Hence, the iso-probabilistic transformation implements a gradient (and even a Hessian).

2

A distribution is said to be spherical if it is invariant by rotation. Mathematically, \vect{U} has a spherical distribution if:

\mat{Q}\,\vect{U} \sim \vect{U},
\quad \forall \mat{Q} \in \cO_n(\Rset)
