Let \(X, Y\) be i.i.d. random variables with the distribution of self.

If x is None, returns \(\mathbb{E}[|X-Y|]\) (per row), “self-energy”. If x is passed, returns \(\mathbb{E}[|X-x|]\) (per row), “energy wrt x”.

Parameters:

xNone or pd.DataFrame, optional, default=None: if pd.DataFrame, must have same rows and columns as self

Returns:

pd.DataFrame with same rows as self, single column “energy”
each row contains one float, self-energy/energy as described above.

Let \(X\) be a random variable with the distribution of self. Returns the expectation \(\mathbb{E}[X]\)

Returns:

pd.DataFrame with same rows, columns as self
expected value of distribution (entry-wise)

var()[source]#

Return element/entry-wise variance of the distribution.

Let \(X\) be a random variable with the distribution of self. Returns \(\mathbb{V}[X] = \mathbb{E}\left(X - \mathbb{E}[X]\right)^2\)

classmethod get_test_params(parameter_set='default')[source]#: Return testing parameter settings for the estimator.

clone()[source]#

Obtain a clone of the object with same hyper-parameters.

A clone is a different object without shared references, in post-init state. This function is equivalent to returning sklearn.clone of self.

Raises:

RuntimeError if the clone is non-conforming, due to faulty __init__.

Notes

If successful, equal in value to type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False)).

clone_tags(estimator, tag_names=None)[source]#

Clone tags from another estimator as dynamic override.

Parameters:

Returns:

Self: Reference to self.

Notes

Changes object state by setting tag values in tag_set from estimator as dynamic tags in self.

classmethod create_test_instance(parameter_set='default')[source]#

Parameters:

property iloc[source]#

Integer location indexer.

Use my_distribution.iloc[index] for pandas-like row/column subsetting of BaseDistribution descendants.

index can be any pandas iloc compatible index subsetter.

my_distribution.iloc[index] or my_distribution.iloc[row_index, col_index] subset my_distribution to rows defined by row_index, cols by col_index, to exactly the same/cols rows as pandas iloc would subset rows in my_distribution.index and columns in my_distribution.columns.

is_composite()[source]#

Check if the object is composed of other BaseObjects.

A composite object is an object which contains objects, as parameters. Called on an instance, since this may differ by instance.

Returns:

composite: bool: Whether an object has any parameters whose values are BaseObjects.

property loc[source]#

Location indexer.

Use my_distribution.loc[index] for pandas-like row/column subsetting of BaseDistribution descendants.

index can be any pandas loc compatible index subsetter.

my_distribution.loc[index] or my_distribution.loc[row_index, col_index] subset my_distribution to rows defined by row_index, cols by col_index, to exactly the same/cols rows as pandas loc would subset rows in my_distribution.index and columns in my_distribution.columns.

property name[source]#: Return the name of the object or estimator.

pdfnorm(a=2)[source]#

a-norm of pdf, defaults to 2-norm.

computes a-norm of the entry marginal pdf, i.e., \(\mathbb{E}[p_X(X)^{a-1}] = \int p(x)^a dx\), where \(X\) is a random variable distributed according to the entry marginal of self, and \(p_X\) is its pdf

Parameters:

a: int or float, optional, default=2

Returns:

pd.DataFrame with same rows and columns as self
each entry is \(\mathbb{E}[p_X(X)^{a-1}] = \int p(x)^a dx\), see above

quantile(alpha)[source]#

Return entry-wise quantiles, in Proba/pred_quantiles mtype format.

This method broadcasts as follows: for a scalar alpha, computes the alpha-quantile entry-wise, and returns as a pd.DataFrame with same index, and columns as in return. If alpha is iterable, multiple quantiles will be calculated, and the result will be concatenated column-wise (axis=1).

The ppf method also computes quantiles, but broadcasts differently, in numpy style closer to tensorflow. In contrast, this quantile method broadcasts as sktime forecaster predict_quantiles, i.e., columns first.

Parameters:

alphafloat or list of float of unique values: A probability or list of, at which quantiles are computed.

Returns:

quantilespd.DataFrame: Column has multi-index: first level is variable name from self.columns, second level being the values of alpha passed to the function. Row index is self.index. Entries in the i-th row, (j, p)-the column is the p-th quantile of the marginal of self at index (i, j).

reset()[source]#

Reset the object to a clean post-init state.

Using reset, runs __init__ with current values of hyper-parameters (result of get_params). This Removes any object attributes, except:

hyper-parameters = arguments of __init__

object attributes containing double-underscores, i.e., the string “__”

Class and object methods, and class attributes are also unaffected.

Returns:

self: Instance of class reset to a clean post-init state but retaining the current hyper-parameter values.

Notes

Equivalent to sklearn.clone but overwrites self. After self.reset() call, self is equal in value to type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False))

sample(n_samples=None)[source]#

Sample from the distribution.

Parameters:

n_samplesint, optional, default = None

Returns:

if n_samples is None:
returns a sample that contains a single sample from self,
in pd.DataFrame mtype format convention, with index and columns as self
if n_samples is int:
returns a pd.DataFrame that contains n_samples i.i.d. samples from self,
in pd-multiindex mtype format convention, with same columns as self,
and MultiIndex that is product of RangeIndex(n_samples) and self.index

set_config(**config_dict)[source]#

Set config flags to given values.

Parameters:

config_dictdict: Dictionary of config name : config value pairs.

Returns:

selfreference to self.

Notes

Changes object state, copies configs in config_dict to self._config_dynamic.

set_params(**params)[source]#

Set the parameters of this object.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on composite objects. Parameter key strings <component>__<parameter> can be used for composites, i.e., objects that contain other objects, to access <parameter> in the component <component>. The string <parameter>, without <component>__, can also be used if this makes the reference unambiguous, e.g., there are no two parameters of components with the name <parameter>.

Parameters:

**paramsdict: BaseObject parameters, keys must be <component>__<parameter> strings. __ suffixes can alias full strings, if unique among get_params keys.

Returns:

selfreference to self (after parameters have been set)

set_tags(**tag_dict)[source]#

Set dynamic tags to given values.

Parameters:

**tag_dictdict: Dictionary of tag name: tag value pairs.

Returns:

Self: Reference to self.

Notes

Changes object state by setting tag values in tag_dict as dynamic tags in self.

property shape[source]#: Shape of self, a pair (2-tuple).

to_str()[source]#: Return string representation of self.
