mat covariance () const

Access to attributes

eEmp & _Smp ()

Constructors

Construction of each epdf should support two types of constructors:

empty constructor,

copy constructor,

The following constructors should be supported for convenience:

constructor followed by calling set_parameters()

constructor accepting random variables calling set_rv()

All internal data structures are constructed as empty. Their values (including sizes) will be set by method set_parameters(). This way references can be initialized in constructors.

void set_parameters (int dim0)

Matematical Operations

virtual mat sample_m (int N) const

Returns N samples, $[x_1 , x_2 , \ldots \$ from density $ f_x(rv)$ .

virtual vec evallog_m (const mat &Val) const

Compute log-probability of multiple values argument val.

virtual vec evallog_m (const Array< vec > &Avec) const

Compute log-probability of multiple values argument val.

virtual shared_ptr< mpdf > condition (const RV &rv) const

Return conditional density on the given RV, the remaining rvs will be in conditioning.

virtual shared_ptr< epdf > marginal (const RV &rv) const

Return marginal density on the given RV, the remainig rvs are intergrated out.

virtual void qbounds (vec &lb, vec &ub, double percentage=0.95) const

Lower and upper bounds of percentage % quantile, returns mean-2*sigma as default.

Connection to other classes

Description of the random quantity via attribute rv is optional. For operations such as sampling rv does not need to be set. However, for marginalization and conditioning rv has to be set. NB:

void set_rv (const RV &rv0)

Name its rv.

bool isnamed () const

True if rv is assigned.

const RV & _rv () const

Return name (fails when isnamed is false).

Access to attributes
