The lower extremal dependence matrix is $(\bar{\chi}_L^{ij})_{1 \leq i, j \leq d}$ where $\\bar{\chi}_L^{ij}$ is the lower extremal dependence coefficient of the bivariate distribution $(X_i, X_j)$ . It is defined by:

$\bar{\chi}_L^{ij} = \lim_{u \to 0} \bar{\chi}_L^{ij}(u)$

where $u \mapsto \bar{\chi}_L^{ij}(u)$ is the lower extremal dependence function of the bivariate distribution $(X_i, X_j)$ defined by:

We assume that the distribution is $d$ -dimensional, with $d \geq 2$ and that its copula is denoted by $C$ . The lower tail dependence matrix is $(\chi_L^{ij})_{1 \leq i, j \leq d}$ where $\chi_L^{ij}$ is the lower tail dependence coefficient of the bivariate distribution $(X_i, X_j)$ . It is defined by:

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.

Examples

Create a sample from a Normal distribution:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> sample = ot.Normal().getSample(10)

>>> ot.ResourceMap.Reload()

alphafloat, $\alpha \in [0,1]$: The confidence level.

Returns:

confIntervalInterval: The confidence interval of level $\alpha$ .
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()

Determine the confidence interval of the native parameters at level 0.9 with minimum volume:

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

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 $Y$ .

>>> import openturns as ot

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 $x_1$ .

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 $x_1$ .

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 $x_1$ .

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.

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 $\mu$ .

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.
