Detailed Description

Extends MultinormalGen for a multivariate normal distribution.

[94] , generated via a Cholesky decomposition of the covariance matrix. The covariance matrix \(\boldsymbol{\Sigma}\) is decomposed (by the constructor) as \(\boldsymbol{\Sigma}= \mathbf{A}\mathbf{A}^{\!\mathsf{t}}\) where \(\mathbf{A}\) is a lower-triangular matrix (this is the Cholesky decomposition), and \(\mathbf{X}\) is generated via

\[ \mathbf{X}= \boldsymbol{\mu}+ \mathbf{A}\mathbf{Z}, \]

where \(\mathbf{Z}\) is a \(d\)-dimensional vector of independent standard normal random variates, and \(\mathbf{A}^{\!\mathsf{t}}\) is the transpose of \(\mathbf{A}\). The covariance matrix \(\boldsymbol{\Sigma}\) must be positive-definite, otherwise the Cholesky decomposition will fail. The decomposition method uses the CholeskyDecomposition class in colt.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MultinormalCholeskyGen() [1/2]

umontreal.ssj.randvarmulti.MultinormalCholeskyGen.MultinormalCholeskyGen ( NormalGen gen1,
double[] mu,
double sigma[][] )

Equivalent to MultinormalCholeskyGen(gen1, mu, new DenseDoubleMatrix2D(sigma)).

Parameters
gen1the one-dimensional generator
muthe mean vector.
sigmathe covariance matrix.
Exceptions
NullPointerExceptionif any argument is `null`.
IllegalArgumentExceptionif the length of the mean vector is incompatible with the dimensions of the covariance matrix.

Definition at line 79 of file MultinormalCholeskyGen.java.

◆ MultinormalCholeskyGen() [2/2]

umontreal.ssj.randvarmulti.MultinormalCholeskyGen.MultinormalCholeskyGen ( NormalGen gen1,
double[] mu,
DoubleMatrix2D sigma )

Constructs a multinormal generator with mean vector mu and covariance matrix sigma.

The mean vector must have the same length as the dimensions of the covariance matrix, which must be symmetric and positive-definite. If any of the above conditions is violated, an exception is thrown. The vector \(\mathbf{Z}\) is generated by calling \(d\) times the generator gen1, which must be a standard normal 1-dimensional generator.

Parameters
gen1the one-dimensional generator
muthe mean vector.
sigmathe covariance matrix.
Exceptions
NullPointerExceptionif any argument is `null`.
IllegalArgumentExceptionif the length of the mean vector is incompatible with the dimensions of the covariance matrix.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getCholeskyDecompSigma()

DoubleMatrix2D umontreal.ssj.randvarmulti.MultinormalCholeskyGen.getCholeskyDecompSigma ( )

Returns the lower-triangular matrix \(\mathbf{A}\) in the Cholesky decomposition of \(\boldsymbol{\Sigma}\).

Returns
the Cholesky decomposition of the covariance matrix.

Definition at line 111 of file MultinormalCholeskyGen.java.

◆ nextPoint() [1/3]

void umontreal.ssj.randvarmulti.MultinormalCholeskyGen.nextPoint ( double[] p)

Generates a point from this multinormal distribution.

This is much faster than the static method as it computes the singular value decomposition matrix only once in the constructor.

Parameters
pthe array to be filled with the generated point

Reimplemented from umontreal.ssj.randvarmulti.MultinormalGen.

◆ nextPoint() [3/3]

void umontreal.ssj.randvarmulti.MultinormalCholeskyGen.nextPoint ( NormalGen gen1,
double[] mu,
DoubleMatrix2D sigma,
double[] p )
static

Generates a \(d\)-dimensional vector from the multinormal distribution with mean vector mu and covariance matrix sigma, using the one-dimensional normal generator gen1 to generate the coordinates of \(\mathbf{Z}\), and using the Cholesky decomposition of \(\boldsymbol{\Sigma}\).

The resulting vector is put into p. Note that this static method will be very slow for large dimensions, since it computes the Cholesky decomposition at every call. It is therefore recommended to use a MultinormalCholeskyGen object instead, if the method is to be called more than once.

Parameters
pthe array to be filled with the generated point.
Exceptions
IllegalArgumentExceptionif the one-dimensional normal generator uses a normal distribution with \(\mu\) not equal to 0, or \(\sigma\) not equal to 1.
IllegalArgumentExceptionif the length of the mean vector is different from the dimensions of the covariance matrix, or if the covariance matrix is not symmetric and positive-definite.
NullPointerExceptionif any argument is `null`.

Definition at line 163 of file MultinormalCholeskyGen.java.

◆ setSigma()

void umontreal.ssj.randvarmulti.MultinormalCholeskyGen.setSigma ( DoubleMatrix2D sigma)

Sets the covariance matrix \(\boldsymbol{\Sigma}\) of this multinormal generator to sigma (and recomputes \(\mathbf{A}\)).

Parameters
sigmathe new covariance matrix.
Exceptions
IllegalArgumentExceptionif `sigma` has incorrect dimensions.
