__init__(*args)
static ComputeAMISEBinNumber(sample)

Compute the optimal AMISE number of bins.

Parameters
sample2-d sequence of float, of dimension 1

The sample from which the optimal AMISE bin number is computed.

Notes

The number of bins is computed by minimizing the asymptotic mean integrated squared error (AMISE), leading to

m = 1+\left\lfloor n^{\dfrac{2}{4+d}} \right\rfloor

where \lfloor x \rfloor is the largest integer less than or equal to x, n the sample size and d the sample dimension.

static ComputeLogLikelihoodBinNumber(*args)

Compute the optimal log-likelihood number of bins by cross-validation.

Parameters
sample2-d sequence of float, of dimension 1

The sample of size n from which the optimal log-likelihood bin number is computed.

kFractionint, 0<kFraction<n

The fraction of the sample used for the validation.

Notes

Let \cE=\left\{\vect{X}_1,\dots,\vect{X}_n\right\} be the given sample. If kFraction=1, the bin number m is given by:

m = \argmin_{M\in\{1,\dots,n\}}\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{\vect{X}_i\in\cE}-\log c^{\cE}_{M}(\vect{X}_i)

where c_M^{\cE} is the density function of the EmpiricalBernsteinCopula associated to the sample \cE and the bin number M.

If kFraction>1, the bin number m is given by:

m = \argmin_{M\in\{1,\dots,n\}}\dfrac{1}{kFraction}\sum_{k=0}^{kFraction-1}\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{\vect{X}_i\in\cE^V_k}-\log c^{\cE^L_k}_{M}(\vect{X}_i)

where \cE^V_k=\left\{\vect{X}_i\in\cE\,|\,i\equiv k \mod kFraction\right\} and \cE^L_k=\cE \backslash \cE^V_k

static ComputePenalizedCsiszarDivergenceBinNumber(*args)

Compute the optimal penalized Csiszar divergence number of bins.

Parameters
sample2-d sequence of float, of dimension 1

The sample of size n from which the optimal AMISE bin number is computed.

fFunction

The function defining the Csiszar divergence of interest.

alphafloat, \alpha\geq 0

The penalization factor.

Notes

Let \cE=\left\{\vect{X}_1,\dots,\vect{X}_n\right\} be the given sample. The bin number m is given by:

m = \argmin_{M\in\{1,\dots,n\}}\left[\hat{D}_f(c^{\cE}_{M})-\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{\vect{X}_i\in\cE}f\left(\dfrac{1}{c^{\cE}_{M}(\vect{X}_i)}\right)\right]^2-[\rho_S(c^{\cE}_{M})-\rho_S({\cE}_{M})]^2

where c_M^{\cE} is the density function of the EmpiricalBernsteinCopula associated to the sample \cE and the bin number M, \hat{D}_f(c^{\cE}_{M})=\dfrac{1}{N}\sum_{j=1}^Nf\left(\dfrac{1}{\vect{U}_j}\right) a Monte Carlo estimate of the Csiszar f divergence, \rho_S(c^{\cE}_{M}) the exact Spearman correlation of the empirical Bernstein copula c^{\cE}_{M} and \rho_S({\cE}_{M}) the empirical Spearman correlation of the sample {\cE}_{M}.

The parameter N is controlled by the ‘BernsteinCopulaFactory-SamplingSize’ key in ResourceMap.

Returns
resDistDistributionFactoryResult

Notes

According to the way the native parameters of the distribution are estimated, the parameters distribution differs:

  • Moments method: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data;

  • Maximum likelihood method with a regular model: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and its covariance matrix is the inverse Fisher information matrix;

  • Other methods: the asymptotic parameters distribution is estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data and kernel fitting (see KernelSmoothing).

If another set of parameters is specified, the native parameters distribution is first estimated and the new distribution is determined from it:

  • if the native parameters distribution is normal and the transformation regular at the estimated parameters values: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and its covariance matrix determined from the inverse Fisher information matrix of the native parameters and the transformation;

  • in the other cases, the asymptotic parameters distribution is estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data and kernel fitting.
