pm_distMultiNorm::getMultiNormRand Interface Reference

Generate and return a (collection) of random vector(s) of size ndim from the ndim-dimensional MultiVariate Normal (MVN) distribution, optionally with the specified input mean(1:ndim) and the specified subset of the Cholesky Factorization of the Covariance matrix of the MVN distribution. More...

Detailed Description

Generate and return a (collection) of random vector(s) of size ndim from the ndim-dimensional MultiVariate Normal (MVN) distribution, optionally with the specified input mean(1:ndim) and the specified subset of the Cholesky Factorization of the Covariance matrix of the MVN distribution.

The procedures of this generic interface are merely wrappers around the subroutine interface setMultiNormRand.

Parameters
[in,out]rng: The input/output scalar that can be an object of,
  1. type rngf_type, implying the use of intrinsic Fortran uniform RNG.
  2. type xoshiro256ssw_type, implying the use of xoshiro256** uniform RNG.
(optional, default = rngf_type.)
[in]mean: The input contiguous vector of shape (1:ndim), of the same type and kind as the output rand, representing the mean of the Multivariate Normal distribution.
(optional, default = [(0., i = 1, size(rand))]. It must be present if the input argument chol is missing.)
[in]chol: The input contiguous matrix of shape (ndim, ndim) whose specified triangular subset contains the Cholesky Factorization of the covariance matrix of the MVN distribution.
(optional, the default is the Identity matrix of rank ndim. It must be present if and only if the input argument subset is also present.)
[in]subset: The input scalar constant that can be any of the following:
  1. the constant uppDia or an object of type uppDia_type implying that the upper-diagonal triangular block of the input chol must be used while the lower subset is not referenced.
  2. the constant lowDia or an object of type lowDia_type implying that the lower-diagonal triangular block of the input chol must be used while the upper subset is not referenced.
This argument is merely a convenience to differentiate the different procedure functionalities within this generic interface.
(optional. It must be present if and only if the input argument chol is present.)
[in]nsam: The input scalar integer of default kind IK containing the number of random MVN vectors to generate.
(optional. If present, the output rand is of rank 2, otherwise is of rank 1.)
Returns
rand : The output vector of
  1. type real of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., RK, RK32, RK64, or RK128),
containing the MVN distributed random output vector(s):
  1. If the input argument nsam is missing, then rand shall be of shape (1:ndim).
  2. If the input argument nsam is present, then rand shall be of shape (1:ndim, 1:nsam).


Possible calling interfaces

! single vector, using default rng
rand(1:ndim) = getMultiNormRand(mean(1:ndim))
rand(1:ndim) = getMultiNormRand(chol(1:ndim, 1:ndim), subset)
rand(1:ndim) = getMultiNormRand(mean(1:ndim), chol(1:ndim, 1:ndim), subset)
! single vector, using custom rng
rand(1:ndim) = getMultiNormRand(rng, mean(1:ndim))
rand(1:ndim) = getMultiNormRand(rng, chol(1:ndim, 1:ndim), subset)
rand(1:ndim) = getMultiNormRand(rng, mean(1:ndim), chol(1:ndim, 1:ndim), subset)
! collection of `nsam` vectors, using default rng
rand(1:ndim, 1:nsam) = getMultiNormRand(mean(1:ndim), nsam)
rand(1:ndim, 1:nsam) = getMultiNormRand(chol(1:ndim, 1:ndim), subset, nsam)
rand(1:ndim, 1:nsam) = getMultiNormRand(mean(1:ndim), chol(1:ndim, 1:ndim), subset, nsam)
! collection of `nsam` vectors, using custom rng
rand(1:ndim, 1:nsam) = getMultiNormRand(rng, mean(1:ndim), nsam)
rand(1:ndim, 1:nsam) = getMultiNormRand(rng, chol(1:ndim, 1:ndim), subset, nsam)
rand(1:ndim, 1:nsam) = getMultiNormRand(rng, mean(1:ndim), chol(1:ndim, 1:ndim), subset, nsam)
