property at

Integer location indexer, for single index.

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

index can be any pandas at compatible index subsetter.

my_distribution.at[index] or my_distribution.at[row_index, col_index] subset my_distribution to the row selected by row_index, col by col_index, to exactly the same col/rows as pandas at would subset rows in my_distribution.index and columns in my_distribution.columns.

cdf(x)

Cumulative distribution function.

Let \(X\) be a random variables with the distribution of self, taking values in (N, n) DataFrame-s Let \(x\in \mathbb{R}^{N\times n}\). By \(F_{X_{ij}}\), denote the marginal cdf of \(X\) at the \((i,j)\)-th entry, i.e., \(F_{X_{ij}}(t) = \mathbb{P}(X_{ij} \leq t)\).

The output of this method, for input x representing \(x\), is a DataFrame with same columns and indices as self, and entries \(F_{X_{ij}}(x_{ij})\).

Parameters:

xpandas.DataFrame or 2D np.ndarray

representing \(x\), as above

Returns:

pd.DataFrame with same columns and index as self

containing \(F_{X_{ij}}(x_{ij})\), as above

clone()

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

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

Equivalent to constructing a new instance of type(self), with parameters of self, that is, type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False)).

If configs were set on self, the clone will also have the same configs as the original, equivalent to calling cloned_self.set_config(**self.get_config()).

Also equivalent in value to a call of self.reset, with the exception that clone returns a new object, instead of mutating self like reset.

Raises:

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

clone_tags(estimator, tag_names=None)

Clone tags from another object as dynamic override.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

clone_tags sets dynamic tag overrides from another object, estimator.

The clone_tags method should be called only in the __init__ method of an object, during construction, or directly after construction via __init__.

The dynamic tags are set to the values of the tags in estimator, with the names specified in tag_names.

The default of tag_names writes all tags from estimator to self.

Current tag values can be inspected by get_tags or get_tag.

Parameters:

estimatorAn instance of :class:BaseObject or derived class

tag_namesstr or list of str, default = None

Names of tags to clone. The default (None) clones all tags from estimator.

Returns:

self

Reference to self.

classmethod create_test_instance(parameter_set='default')

Construct an instance of the class, using first test parameter set.

Parameters:

parameter_setstr, default=”default”

Name of the set of test parameters to return, for use in tests. If no special parameters are defined for a value, will return “default” set.

Returns:

instanceinstance of the class with default parameters

classmethod create_test_instances_and_names(parameter_set='default')

Create list of all test instances and a list of names for them.

Parameters:

parameter_setstr, default=”default”

Name of the set of test parameters to return, for use in tests. If no special parameters are defined for a value, will return “default” set.

Returns:

objslist of instances of cls

i-th instance is cls(**cls.get_test_params()[i])

nameslist of str, same length as objs

i-th element is name of i-th instance of obj in tests. The naming convention is {cls.__name__}-{i} if more than one instance, otherwise {cls.__name__}

energy(x=None)

Energy of self, w.r.t. self or a constant frame x.

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”.

The CRPS is related to energy: it holds that \(\mbox{CRPS}(\mbox{self}, y)\) = self.energy(y) - 0.5 * self.energy().

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.

classmethod get_class_tag(tag_name, tag_value_default=None)

Get class tag value from class, with tag level inheritance from parents.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

The get_class_tag method is a class method, and retrieves the value of a tag taking into account only class-level tag values and overrides.

It returns the value of the tag with name tag_name from the object, taking into account tag overrides, in the following order of descending priority:

1. Tags set in the _tags attribute of the class.

2. Tags set in the _tags attribute of parent classes,

in order of inheritance.

Does not take into account dynamic tag overrides on instances, set via set_tags or clone_tags, that are defined on instances.

To retrieve tag values with potential instance overrides, use the get_tag method instead.

Parameters:

tag_namestr

Name of tag value.

tag_value_defaultany type

Default/fallback value if tag is not found.

Returns:

tag_value

Value of the tag_name tag in self. If not found, returns tag_value_default.

classmethod get_class_tags()

Get class tags from class, with tag level inheritance from parent classes.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

The get_class_tags method is a class method, and retrieves the value of a tag taking into account only class-level tag values and overrides.

It returns a dictionary with keys being keys of any attribute of _tags set in the class or any of its parent classes.

Values are the corresponding tag values, with overrides in the following order of descending priority:

1. Tags set in the _tags attribute of the class.

2. Tags set in the _tags attribute of parent classes,

in order of inheritance.

Instances can override these tags depending on hyper-parameters.

To retrieve tags with potential instance overrides, use the get_tags method instead.

Does not take into account dynamic tag overrides on instances, set via set_tags or clone_tags, that are defined on instances.

For including overrides from dynamic tags, use get_tags.

Returns:

collected_tagsdict

Dictionary of tag name : tag value pairs. Collected from _tags class attribute via nested inheritance. NOT overridden by dynamic tags set by set_tags or clone_tags.

get_config()

Get config flags for self.

Configs are key-value pairs of self, typically used as transient flags for controlling behaviour.

get_config returns dynamic configs, which override the default configs.

Default configs are set in the class attribute _config of the class or its parent classes, and are overridden by dynamic configs set via set_config.

Configs are retained under clone or reset calls.

Returns:

config_dictdict

Dictionary of config name : config value pairs. Collected from _config class attribute via nested inheritance and then any overrides and new tags from _onfig_dynamic object attribute.

classmethod get_param_defaults()

Get object’s parameter defaults.

Returns:

default_dict: dict[str, Any]

Keys are all parameters of cls that have a default defined in __init__. Values are the defaults, as defined in __init__.

classmethod get_param_names(sort=True)

Get object’s parameter names.

Parameters:

sortbool, default=True

Whether to return the parameter names sorted in alphabetical order (True), or in the order they appear in the class __init__ (False).

Returns:

param_names: list[str]

List of parameter names of cls. If sort=False, in same order as they appear in the class __init__. If sort=True, alphabetically ordered.

get_params(deep=True)

Get a dict of parameters values for this object.

This expands on get_params of standard BaseObject by also retrieving components parameters when deep=True a component’s follows the named object API (either sequence of str, BaseObject tuples or dict[str, BaseObject]).

Parameters:

deepbool, default=True

Whether to return parameters of components.

• If True, will return a dict of parameter name : value for this object, including parameters of components.

• If False, will return a dict of parameter name : value for this object, but not include parameters of components.

Returns:

dict[str, Any]

Dictionary of parameter name and value pairs. Includes direct parameters and indirect parameters whose values implement get_params or follow the named object API (either sequence of str, BaseObject tuples or dict[str, BaseObject]).

• If deep=False the name-value pairs for this object’s direct parameters (you can see these via get_param_names) are returned.

• If deep=True then the parameter name-value pairs are returned for direct and component (indirect) parameters.

  • When a BaseObject’s direct parameter value implements get_params the component parameters are returned as [direct_param_name]__[component_param_name] for 1st level components. Arbitrary levels of component recursion are supported (if the component has parameter’s whose values are objects that implement get_params). In this case, return parameters follow [direct_param_name]__[component_param_name]__[param_name] format.

  • When a BaseObject’s direct parameter value is a sequence of (name, BaseObject) tuples or dict[str, BaseObject] the parameters name and value pairs of all component objects are returned. The parameter naming follows scikit-learn convention of treating named component objects like they are direct parameters; therefore, the names are assigned as [component_param_name]__[param_name].

get_params_df()

Return distribution parameters in a dict of DataFrame.

Available only for simple parametric distributions, i.e., distributions with tag “distr:paramtype” having value “parametric”.

Returns:

dict of pd.DataFrame

Dictionary with all distribution parameters, as pd.DataFrame. Keys are the parameter names, values are the pd.DataFrame. Each DataFrame has the same index as self and columns as self. Entries are the values of the distribution parameters.

get_tag(tag_name, tag_value_default=None, raise_error=True)

Get tag value from instance, with tag level inheritance and overrides.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

The get_tag method retrieves the value of a single tag with name tag_name from the instance, taking into account tag overrides, in the following order of descending priority:

1. Tags set via set_tags or clone_tags on the instance,

at construction of the instance.

2. Tags set in the _tags attribute of the class.

Value of the tag_name tag in self. If not found, raises an error if raise_error is True, otherwise it returns tag_value_default.

Raises:

ValueError, if raise_error is True.

The ValueError is then raised if tag_name is not in self.get_tags().keys().

get_tags()

Get tags from instance, with tag level inheritance and overrides.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

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()

Reset the object to a clean post-init state.

Results in setting self to the state it had directly after the constructor call, with the same hyper-parameters. Config values set by set_config are also retained.

A reset call deletes any object attributes, except:

• hyper-parameters = arguments of __init__ written to self, e.g., self.paramname where paramname is an argument of __init__

• object attributes containing double-underscores, i.e., the string “__”. For instance, an attribute named “__myattr” is retained.

• config attributes, configs are retained without change. That is, results of get_config before and after reset are equal.

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

Equivalent to clone, with the exception that reset mutates self instead of returning a new object.

After a self.reset() call, self is equal in value and state, to the object obtained after a constructor call``type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False))``.

Returns:

self

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

sample(n_samples=None)

Sample from the distribution.

Parameters:

n_samplesint, optional, default = None

number of samples to draw from the distribution

pd.DataFrame

samples from the distribution

• 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 row MultiIndex that is product of RangeIndex(n_samples) and self.index

set_config(**config_dict)

Set config flags to given values.

Configs are key-value pairs of self, typically used as transient flags for controlling behaviour.

set_config sets dynamic configs, which override the default configs.

Default configs are set in the class attribute _config of the class or its parent classes, and are overridden by dynamic configs set via set_config.

Configs are retained under clone or reset calls.

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(**kwargs)

Set the object’s direct parameters and the parameters of components.

Valid parameter keys can be listed with get_params().

Like BaseObject implementation it allows values of indirect parameters of a component to be set when a parameter’s value is an object that implements set_params. This also also expands the functionality to allow parameter to allow the indirect parameters of components to be set when a parameter’s values follow the named object API (either sequence of str, BaseObject tuples or dict[str, BaseObject]).

Returns:

Self

Instance of self.

set_random_state(random_state=None, deep=True, self_policy='copy')

Set random_state pseudo-random seed parameters for self.

Finds random_state named parameters via self.get_params, and sets them to integers derived from random_state via set_params. These integers are sampled from chain hashing via sample_dependent_seed, and guarantee pseudo-random independence of seeded random generators.

Applies to random_state parameters in self, depending on self_policy, and remaining component objects if and only if deep=True.

Note: calls set_params even if self does not have a random_state, or none of the components have a random_state parameter. Therefore, set_random_state will reset any scikit-base object, even those without a random_state parameter.

Parameters:

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Pseudo-random number generator to control the generation of the random integers. Pass int for reproducible output across multiple function calls.

deepbool, default=True

Whether to set the random state in skbase object valued parameters, i.e., component estimators.

• If False, will set only self’s random_state parameter, if exists.

• If True, will set random_state parameters in component objects as well.

self_policystr, one of {“copy”, “keep”, “new”}, default=”copy”

• “copy” : self.random_state is set to input random_state

• “keep” : self.random_state is kept as is

• “new” : self.random_state is set to a new random state,

derived from input random_state, and in general different from it

Returns:

selfreference to self

set_tags(**tag_dict)

Set instance level tag overrides to given values.

Every scikit-base compatible object has a dictionary of tags. Tags may be used to store metadata about the object, or to control behaviour of the object.

Tags are key-value pairs specific to an instance self, they are static flags that are not changed after construction of the object.

set_tags sets dynamic tag overrides to the values as specified in tag_dict, with keys being the tag name, and dict values being the value to set the tag to.

The set_tags method should be called only in the __init__ method of an object, during construction, or directly after construction via __init__.

Current tag values can be inspected by get_tags or get_tag.

Parameters:

**tag_dictdict

Dictionary of tag name: tag value pairs.

Returns:

Self

Reference to self.

property shape

Shape of self, a pair (2-tuple).

surv(x)

Survival function.

Let \(X\) be a random variables with the distribution of self, taking values in (N, n) DataFrame-s Let \(x\in \mathbb{R}^{N\times n}\). By \(S_{X_{ij}}\), denote the marginal survival of \(X\) at the \((i,j)\)-th entry, i.e., \(S_{X_{ij}}(t) = \mathbb{P}(X_{ij} \gneq t)\).

The output of this method, for input x representing \(x\), is a DataFrame with same columns and indices as self, and entries \(F_{X_{ij}}(x_{ij})\).

Parameters:

xpandas.DataFrame or 2D np.ndarray

representing \(x\), as above

Returns:

pd.DataFrame with same columns and index as self

containing \(S_{X_{ij}}(x_{ij})\), as above

tail(n=5)

Return the last n rows.

If there are less than n rows in self, returns clone of self.

For negative n, returns all rows except the first n.

Parameters:

nint, default=5

Number of rows to return.

Returns:

self subset to the last n rows, i.e., self.iloc[max(len(self) - n, 0):]

to_df()

Return distribution parameters as a single DataFrame.

Available only for simple parametric distributions, i.e., distributions with tag “distr:paramtype” having value “parametric”.

Returns:

pd.DataFrame

DataFrame with all distribution parameters. column is a MultiIndex (paramname, varname). row index is the index of the distribution. Entries are the values of the distribution parameters.

to_str()

Return string representation of self.

var()

Return element/entry-wise variance of the distribution.

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

Returns:

pd.DataFrame with same rows, columns as self

variance of distribution (entry-wise)
