Detailed Description

epdf with functions implemented in matlab

#include <mex_BM.h>

List of all members.

Public Member Functions

void from_setting (const Setting &S)
vec mean () const
 return expected value
virtual string to_string ()
 This method returns a basic info about the current instance.
virtual void to_setting (Setting &set) const
 This method save all the instance properties into the Setting structure.
virtual void validate ()
 This method TODO.
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 vec sample () const
 Returns a sample, $ x $ from density $ f_x()$.
virtual mat sample_m (int N) const
 Returns N samples, $ [x_1 , x_2 , \ldots \ $ from density $ f_x(rv)$.
virtual double evallog (const vec &val) const
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< mpdfcondition (const RV &rv) const
 Return conditional density on the given RV, the remaining rvs will be in conditioning.
virtual shared_ptr< epdfmarginal (const RV &rv) const
 Return marginal density on the given RV, the remainig rvs are intergrated out.
virtual vec variance () const
 return expected variance (not covariance!)
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



int dimension () const
 Size of the random variable.

Protected Attributes

string name
 prefix of matlab functions
mxArray * data
 pointer to storage structure
int dim
 dimension of the random variable
RV rv
 Description of the random variable.

void bdm::mexEpdf::from_setting ( const Setting &  set  )  [inline, virtual]

 { rv = {class="RV", names=(...),}; // RV describing meaning of random variable
   // elements of offsprings
 }
