Generate random samples from a probability density function using the
|
|
ratio-of-uniforms method.
|
|
|
|
Parameters
|
|
----------
|
|
pdf : callable
|
|
A function with signature `pdf(x)` that is proportional to the
|
|
probability density function of the distribution.
|
|
umax : float
|
|
The upper bound of the bounding rectangle in the u-direction.
|
|
vmin : float
|
|
The lower bound of the bounding rectangle in the v-direction.
|
|
vmax : float
|
|
The upper bound of the bounding rectangle in the v-direction.
|
|
size : int or tuple of ints, optional
|
|
Defining number of random variates (default is 1).
|
|
c : float, optional.
|
|
Shift parameter of ratio-of-uniforms method, see Notes. Default is 0.
|
|
random_state : {None, int, `~np.random.RandomState`, `~np.random.Generator`}, optional
|
|
If `random_state` is `None` the `~np.random.RandomState` singleton is
|
|
used.
|
|
If `random_state` is an int, a new ``RandomState`` instance is used,
|
|
seeded with random_state.
|
|
If `random_state` is already a ``RandomState`` or ``Generator``
|
|
instance, then that object is used.
|
|
Default is None.
|
|
|
|
Returns
|
|
-------
|
|
rvs : ndarray
|
|
The random variates distributed according to the probability
|
|
distribution defined by the pdf.
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
Given a univariate probability density function `pdf` and a constant `c`,
|
|
define the set ``A = {(u, v) : 0 < u <= sqrt(pdf(v/u + c))}``.
|
|
If `(U, V)` is a random vector uniformly distributed over `A`,
|
|
then `V/U + c` follows a distribution according to `pdf`.
|
|
|
|
The above result (see [1]_, [2]_) can be used to sample random variables
|
|
using only the pdf, i.e. no inversion of the cdf is required. Typical
|
|
choices of `c` are zero or the mode of `pdf`. The set `A` is a subset of
|
|
the rectangle ``R = [0, umax] x [vmin, vmax]`` where
|
|
|
|
- ``umax = sup sqrt(pdf(x))``
|
|
- ``vmin = inf (x - c) sqrt(pdf(x))``
|
|
- ``vmax = sup (x - c) sqrt(pdf(x))``
|
|
|
|
In particular, these values are finite if `pdf` is bounded and
|
|
``x**2 * pdf(x)`` is bounded (i.e. subquadratic tails).
|
|
One can generate `(U, V)` uniformly on `R` and return
|
|
`V/U + c` if `(U, V)` are also in `A` which can be directly
|
|
verified.
|
|
|
|
The algorithm is not changed if one replaces `pdf` by k * `pdf` for any
|
|
constant k > 0. Thus, it is often convenient to work with a function
|
|
that is proportional to the probability density function by dropping
|
|
unneccessary normalization factors.
|
|
|
|
Intuitively, the method works well if `A` fills up most of the
|
|
enclosing rectangle such that the probability is high that `(U, V)`
|
|
lies in `A` whenever it lies in `R` as the number of required
|
|
iterations becomes too large otherwise. To be more precise, note that
|
|
the expected number of iterations to draw `(U, V)` uniformly
|
|
distributed on `R` such that `(U, V)` is also in `A` is given by
|
|
the ratio ``area(R) / area(A) = 2 * umax * (vmax - vmin) / area(pdf)``,
|
|
where `area(pdf)` is the integral of `pdf` (which is equal to one if the
|
|
probability density function is used but can take on other values if a
|
|
function proportional to the density is used). The equality holds since
|
|
the area of `A` is equal to 0.5 * area(pdf) (Theorem 7.1 in [1]_).
|
|
If the sampling fails to generate a single random variate after 50000
|
|
iterations (i.e. not a single draw is in `A`), an exception is raised.
|
|
|
|
If the bounding rectangle is not correctly specified (i.e. if it does not
|
|
contain `A`), the algorithm samples from a distribution different from
|
|
the one given by `pdf`. It is therefore recommended to perform a
|
|
test such as `~scipy.stats.kstest` as a check.

Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
>>> from scipy import stats
|
|
|
|
Simulate normally distributed random variables. It is easy to compute the
|
|
bounding rectangle explicitly in that case. For simplicity, we drop the
|
|
normalization factor of the density.
|
|
|
|
>>> f = lambda x: np.exp(-x**2 / 2)
|
|
>>> v_bound = np.sqrt(f(np.sqrt(2))) * np.sqrt(2)
|
|
>>> umax, vmin, vmax = np.sqrt(f(0)), -v_bound, v_bound
|
|
>>> np.random.seed(12345)
|
|
>>> rvs = stats.rvs_ratio_uniforms(f, umax, vmin, vmax, size=2500)
|
|
|
|
The K-S test confirms that the random variates are indeed normally
|
|
distributed (normality is not rejected at 5% significance level):
|
|
|
|
>>> stats.kstest(rvs, 'norm')[1]
|
|
0.33783681428365553
|
|
|
|
The exponential distribution provides another example where the bounding
|
|
rectangle can be determined explicitly.
|
|
|
|
>>> np.random.seed(12345)
|
|
>>> rvs = stats.rvs_ratio_uniforms(lambda x: np.exp(-x), umax=1,
|
|
... vmin=0, vmax=2*np.exp(-1), size=1000)
|
|
>>> stats.kstest(rvs, 'expon')[1]
