Stats¶

Diofant statistics module

Introduces a random variable type into the Diofant language.

Random variables may be declared using prebuilt functions such as Normal, Exponential, Coin, Die, etc… or built with functions like FiniteRV.

Queries on random expressions can be made using the functions

 Expression Meaning P(condition) Probability E(expression) Expected value variance(expression) Variance density(expression) Probability Density Function sample(expression) Produce a realization where(condition) Where the condition is true

Examples¶

>>> from diofant.stats import P, E, variance, Die, Normal
>>> X, Y = Die('X', 6), Die('Y', 6) # Define two six sided dice
>>> Z = Normal('Z', 0, 1) # Declare a Normal random variable with mean 0, std 1
>>> P(X>3) # Probability X is greater than 3
1/2
>>> E(X+Y) # Expectation of the sum of two dice
7
>>> variance(X+Y) # Variance of the sum of two dice
35/6
>>> simplify(P(Z>1)) # Probability of Z being greater than 1
-erf(sqrt(2)/2)/2 + 1/2

Mechanics¶

Diofant Stats employs a relatively complex class hierarchy.

RandomDomains are a mapping of variables to possible values. For example we might say that the symbol Symbol('x') can take on the values $$\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$$.

class diofant.stats.rv.RandomDomain[source]

A PSpace, or Probability Space, combines a RandomDomain with a density to provide probabilistic information. For example the above domain could be enhanced by a finite density {1:1/6, 2:1/6, 3:1/6, 4:1/6, 5:1/6, 6:1/6} to fully define the roll of a fair die named x.

class diofant.stats.rv.PSpace[source]

A RandomSymbol represents the PSpace’s symbol ‘x’ inside of Diofant expressions.

class diofant.stats.rv.RandomSymbol[source]

The RandomDomain and PSpace classes are almost never directly instantiated. Instead they are subclassed for a variety of situations.

RandomDomains and PSpaces must be sufficiently general to represent domains and spaces of several variables with arbitrarily complex densities. This generality is often unnecessary. Instead we often build SingleDomains and SinglePSpaces to represent single, univariate events and processes such as a single die or a single normal variable.

class diofant.stats.rv.SinglePSpace[source]
class diofant.stats.rv.SingleDomain[source]

Another common case is to collect together a set of such univariate random variables. A collection of independent SinglePSpaces or SingleDomains can be brought together to form a ProductDomain or ProductPSpace. These objects would be useful in representing three dice rolled together for example.

class diofant.stats.rv.ProductDomain[source]
class diofant.stats.rv.ProductPSpace[source]

The Conditional adjective is added whenever we add a global condition to a RandomDomain or PSpace. A common example would be three independent dice where we know their sum to be greater than 12.

class diofant.stats.rv.ConditionalDomain[source]

We specialize further into Finite and Continuous versions of these classes to represent finite (such as dice) and continuous (such as normals) random variables.

class diofant.stats.frv.FiniteDomain[source]
class diofant.stats.frv.FinitePSpace[source]
class diofant.stats.crv.ContinuousDomain[source]
class diofant.stats.crv.ContinuousPSpace[source]

Additionally there are a few specialized classes that implement certain common random variable types. There is for example a DiePSpace that implements SingleFinitePSpace and a NormalPSpace that implements SingleContinuousPSpace.

class diofant.stats.frv_types.DiePSpace
class diofant.stats.crv_types.NormalPSpace

RandomVariables can be extracted from these objects using the PSpace.values method.

As previously mentioned Diofant Stats employs a relatively complex class structure. Inheritance is widely used in the implementation of end-level classes. This tactic was chosen to balance between the need to allow Diofant to represent arbitrarily defined random variables and optimizing for common cases. This complicates the code but is structured to only be important to those working on extending Diofant Stats to other random variable types.

Users will not use this class structure. Instead these mechanics are exposed through variable creation functions Die, Coin, FiniteRV, Normal, Exponential, etc…. These build the appropriate SinglePSpaces and return the corresponding RandomVariable. Conditional and Product spaces are formed in the natural construction of Diofant expressions and the use of interface functions E, Given, Density, etc….

diofant.stats.Die()
diofant.stats.Normal()

There are some additional functions that may be useful. They are largely used internally.

diofant.stats.rv.random_symbols(expr)[source]

Returns all RandomSymbols within a Diofant Expression.

diofant.stats.rv.pspace(expr)[source]

Returns the underlying Probability Space of a random expression.

For internal use.

True

diofant.stats.rv.rs_swap(a, b)[source]
