Package umontreal.iro.lecuyer.probdistmulti Description

This package contains Java classes providing methods to compute mass, density, distribution and complementary distribution functions for some multi-dimensional discrete and continuous probability distributions. It does not generate random numbers for multivariate distributions; for that, see the package umontreal.iro.lecuyerrandvarmulti.

Distributions

We recall that the distribution function of a continuous random vector X = {x₁, x₂,…, x_d} with density f (x₁, x₂,…, x_d) over the d-dimensional space R^d is

F(x1, x2,…, xd)	=	P[X1≤x1, X2≤x2,…, Xd≤xd]
	=	1#12#2 ... 3#3f (s1, s2,…, sd) ds1ds2…dsd

while that of a discrete random vector X with mass function {p₁, p₂,…, p_d} over a fixed set of real numbers is

F(x1, x2,…, xd)	=	P[X1≤x1, X2≤x2,…, Xd≤xd]
	=	4#45#5 ... 6#6p(x1, x2,…, xd),

where p(x₁, x₂,…, x_d) = P[X₁ = x₁, X₂ = x₂,…, X_d = x_d]. For a discrete distribution over the set of integers, one has

F(x1, x2,…, xd)	=	P[X1≤x1, X2≤x2,…, Xd≤xd]
	=	7#78#8 ... 9#9p(s1, s2,…, sd),

where p(s₁, s₂,…, s_d) = P[X₁ = s₁, X₂ = s₂,…, X_d = s_d].

We define 10#10, the complementary distribution function of X, as

11#11(x₁, x₂,…, x_d) = P[X₁≥x₁, X₂≥x₂,…, X_d≥x_d].
