Class TruncatedDistribution

java.lang.Object

jsat.distributions.Distribution

jsat.distributions.ContinuousDistribution

jsat.distributions.TruncatedDistribution

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class TruncatedDistribution
extends ContinuousDistribution

This distribution truncates a given continuous distribution only be valid for values in the range (min, max]. The pdf for any value outside that range will be 0.

The pdf(double), cdf(double), and the invCdf(double) methods are implemented efficiently, with little overhead per call. All other methods are approximated numerically, and incur more overhead.

Constructor Detail

TruncatedDistribution

public TruncatedDistribution(ContinuousDistribution base,
                             double min,
                             double max)

Method Detail

pdf

public double pdf(double x)

Description copied from class: ContinuousDistribution

Computes the value of the Probability Density Function (PDF) at the given point

Specified by:

pdf in class ContinuousDistribution

Parameters:

x - the value to get the PDF

Returns:

the PDF(x)

cdf

public double cdf(double x)

Description copied from class: Distribution

Computes the value of the Cumulative Density Function (CDF) at the given point. The CDF returns a value in the range [0, 1], indicating what portion of values occur at or below that point.

Overrides:

cdf in class ContinuousDistribution

Parameters:

x - the value to get the CDF of

Returns:

the CDF(x)

invCdf

public double invCdf(double p)

Description copied from class: Distribution

Computes the inverse Cumulative Density Function (CDF^-1) at the given point. It takes in a value in the range of [0, 1] and returns the value x, such that CDF(x) = p

Overrides:

invCdf in class ContinuousDistribution

Parameters:

p - the probability value

Returns:

the value such that the CDF would return p

getDistributionName

public java.lang.String getDistributionName()

Description copied from class: ContinuousDistribution

Return the name of the distribution.

Specified by:

getDistributionName in class ContinuousDistribution

Returns:

the name of the distribution.

getVariables

public java.lang.String[] getVariables()

Description copied from class: ContinuousDistribution

Returns an array, where each value contains the name of a parameter in the distribution. The order must always be the same, and match up with the values returned by ContinuousDistribution.getCurrentVariableValues()

Specified by:

getVariables in class ContinuousDistribution

Returns:

a string of the variable names this distribution uses

getCurrentVariableValues

public double[] getCurrentVariableValues()

Description copied from class: ContinuousDistribution

Returns an array, where each value contains the value of a parameter in the distribution. The order must always be the same, and match up with the values returned by ContinuousDistribution.getVariables()

Specified by:

getCurrentVariableValues in class ContinuousDistribution

Returns:

the current values of the parameters used by this distribution, in the same order as their names are returned by ContinuousDistribution.getVariables()

setVariable

public void setVariable(java.lang.String var,
                        double value)

Description copied from class: ContinuousDistribution

Sets one of the variables of this distribution by the name.

Specified by:

setVariable in class ContinuousDistribution

Parameters:

var - the variable to set

value - the value to set

clone

public TruncatedDistribution clone()

Specified by:

clone in class ContinuousDistribution

setUsingData

public void setUsingData(Vec data)

Description copied from class: ContinuousDistribution

Attempts to set the variables used by this distribution based on population sample data, assuming the sample data is from this type of distribution.

Specified by:

setUsingData in class ContinuousDistribution

Parameters:

data - the data to use to attempt to fit against

mode

public double mode()

Description copied from class: Distribution

Computes the mode of the distribution. Not all distributions have a mode for all parameter values. NaN may be returned if the mode is not defined for the current values of the distribution.

Overrides:

mode in class ContinuousDistribution

Returns:

the mode of the distribution

min

public double min()

Description copied from class: Distribution

The minimum value for which the #pdf(double) is meant to return a value. Note that Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY is a valid return value.

Specified by:

min in class Distribution

Returns:

the minimum value for which the #pdf(double) is meant to return a value.

max

public double max()

Description copied from class: Distribution

The maximum value for which the #pdf(double) is meant to return a value. Note that Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY is a valid return value.

Specified by:

max in class Distribution

Returns:

the maximum value for which the #pdf(double) is meant to return a value.
