TUnuran Class Reference

TUnuran class.

Interface to the UNU.RAN package for generating non uniform random numbers. This class wraps the UNU.RAN calls in C++ methods. It provides methods for initializing Unuran and then to sample the desired distribution. It provides support for initializing UNU.RAN in these following way (various signatures for TUnuran::Init)

  • with string API via TUnuran::Init passing the distribution type and the method
  • using a one-dimensional distribution object defined by TUnuranContDist
  • using a multi-dimensional distribution object defined by TUnuranMultiContDist
  • using a discrete one-dimensional distribution object defined by TUnuranDiscrDist
  • using an empirical distribution defined by TUnuranEmpDist
  • using pre-defined distributions. Presently only support for Poisson (TUnuran::InitPoisson) and Binomial (TUnuran::InitBinomial) are provided. Other distributions can however be generated using the previous methods (in particular via the string API)

The sampling is provided via these methods:

  • TUnuran::Sample() returns a double for all one-dimensional distribution
  • TUnuran::SampleDiscr() returns an integer for one-dimensional discrete distribution
  • TUnuran::Sample(double *) sample a multi-dimensional distribution. A pointer to a vector with size at least equal to the distribution dimension must be passed

In addition is possible to set the random number generator in the constructor of the class, its seed via the TUnuran::SetSeed() method.

◆ Init() [1/5]

bool TUnuran::Init ( const std::string &  distr,
const std::string &  method 
)

Initialize with Unuran string API interface.

See https://statmath.wu.ac.at/unuran/doc/unuran.html#StringAPI

Parameters
distr: UNU.RAN distribution string
method: UNU.RAN method string

Here is an example using the string API:

Tunuran unr;
unr.Init("normal(3.,0.75); domain = (0,inf)", "method = tdr; c = 0");

Definition at line 75 of file TUnuran.cxx.

◆ Init() [2/5]

bool TUnuran::Init ( const TUnuranContDist distr,
const std::string &  method = "auto" 
)

Initialize method for continuous one-dimensional distribution.

User must provide a distribution object (which is copied inside) and a string for a method. For the list of available method for 1D cont. distribution see the UnuRan doc. A re-initialization is needed whenever distribution parameters have been changed. Note that the method string can contain in addition to the method name all the specific method parameters specified using the UNURAN method string API. For example a valid string can be "method=arou; max_segments=1000; max_sqhratio = 0.9"

Definition at line 89 of file TUnuran.cxx.

◆ Init() [3/5]

bool TUnuran::Init ( const TUnuranDiscrDist distr,
const std::string &  method = "auto" 
)

Initialize method for continuous one-dimensional discrete distribution.

User must provide a distribution object (which is copied inside) and a string for a method. For the list of available method for 1D discrete distribution see the UnuRan doc A re-initialization is needed whenever distribution parameters have been changed.

Definition at line 121 of file TUnuran.cxx.

◆ Init() [4/5]

bool TUnuran::Init ( const TUnuranEmpDist distr,
const std::string &  method = "empk" 
)

Initialize method for continuous empirical distribution.

User must provide a distribution object (which is copied inside) and a string for a method. The distribution object can represent binned (only 1D) or unbinned (1D or multi-dim) data The method for the unbinned empirical distribution are based on the kernel smoothing, see UnuRan doc A re-initialization is needed whenever distribution parameters have been changed.

Definition at line 135 of file TUnuran.cxx.

◆ Init() [5/5]

bool TUnuran::Init ( const TUnuranMultiContDist distr,
const std::string &  method = "vnrou" 
)

Initialize method for continuous multi-dimensional distribution.

User must provide a distribution object (which is copied inside) and a string for a method. For the list of available method for multivariate cont. distribution see the UnuRan doc A re-initialization is needed whenever distribution parameters have been changed.

The default method used for multi-dimensional distributions is "vnrou" Note that some of the multi-dimensional continuous distribution methods like "hitro" are based on Markov-CHain sampler and they are much faster for sampling but require more time to converge. Furthermore, since they are Markov-Chain methods their generated sample values are correlated and cannot be used as i.i.d., one can instead use the obtained sample distribution. (see also the ROOT issue: #10222 ).

◆ InitBinomial()

bool TUnuran::InitBinomial ( unsigned int  ntot,
double  prob,

Initialize method for the Binomial distribution.

Used to generate poisson numbers for a constant parameters (n,p) of the Binomial distribution. Use after the method TUnuran::SampleDiscr to generate the numbers. The flag reinit perform a fast re-initialization when only the distribution parameters are changed in the subsequent calls. If the same TUnuran object is used to generate with other distributions it cannot be used.
