Detailed Description

This module contains classes and procedures for setting up and computing the properties of the MultiVariate Uniform Parallelepiped (MVUP) Distribution.

Specifically, this module contains routines for computing the following quantities of the MultiVariate Uniform Parallelepiped (MVUP) distribution:

1. the Probability Density Function (PDF)
2. the Random Number Generation from the distribution (RNG)

An $\ndim$-dimensional parallelepiped $P$ in vector space $\mathbb{R}^{\ndim}$ can be defined by a set of arbitrary but independent column vectors $v_1, \ldots, v_\ndim$ as the set,

$$\begin{equation} P = {\sum_{i = 1}^{\ndim} t_i v_i ~~~,~~~ 0 \leq t_i < 1} ~, \end{equation}$$

where $t_i$ are a set of coefficients whose defined range allows full coverage of the parallelepiped.

A 3-dimensional parallelepiped.

The above parallelepiped can be expressed in the form of a square representative matrix of edges of rank $\ndim$,

$$\begin{equation} M_R = \begin{pmatrix} v_1 ~,~ \vdots ~,~ v_i ~,~ \vdots ~,~ v_{\ndim} \end{pmatrix} \end{equation}$$

where $v_i$ is a column vector representing the $i$th edge of the parallelepiped.
The corresponding (positive definite) Gramian matrix of the parallelepiped is,

$$\begin{equation} M_G = M_R^T M_R ~, \end{equation}$$

where $M_R^T$ is the transpose of $M_R$.
The hyper-volume occupied by the parallelepiped is the given by,

$$\begin{equation} \ms{Vol}(P) = |M_R| = \sqrt{|M_G|} ~, \end{equation}$$

where $|M_G|$ represents the determinant of $M_G$.

The Probability Density Function (PDF) of the Uniform Parallelepiped distribution with support $P$ is given by,

$$\begin{equation} \pi(X | P) = \frac{1}{\ms{Vol}(P)} = \frac{1}{|M_R|} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{|M_G|}} ~. \end{equation}$$

Note

1. A parallelepiped with a diagonal representative matrix $M_R$ is a hyper-rectangle.
   
   1. A hyper-rectangle is uniquely determined by lengths of its $\ndim$ edges.
      
   2. The corresponding Gramian matrix $M_G$ of a hyper-rectangle is also diagonal.
      
2. A hyper-rectangle with equal diagonal elements in the representative matrix $M_R$ is a hyper-cube.
   
   1. A hyper-cube is uniquely determined by a single scalar number representing the length of its edge that is the same along all axes.
      
   2. The representative matrix $M_R$ of a hyper-cube is a multiple of the Identity matrix.
      
   3. The corresponding Gramian matrix $M_G$ a hyper-cube is also a multiple of the Identity matrix.
