This module contains classes and procedures for computing various statistical quantities related to the MultiVariate Uniform Ellipsoid (MVUE) distribution.
Specifically, this module contains routines for computing the following quantities of the MultiVariate Uniform Ellipsoid (MVUE) distribution:
An \(\ndim\)-dimensional MVUE distribution is represented by an \(\ndim\)-dimensional hyper-ellipsoid support.
The MVUE distribution is fully determined by the ellipsoid \(\ell\) containing its support.
The ellipsoid \(\ell\) is in turn fully determined by its representative Gramian matrix \(\gramian_\ell\), containing all points in \(\mathbb{R}^\ndim\) that satisfy,
\begin{equation} \large (X - \mu_\ell)^T ~ \gramian_\ell^{-1} ~ (X - \mu_\ell) \leq 1 ~, \end{equation}
where \(\mu_\ell\) represents the center of the ellipsoid, \((X - \mu_\ell)^T\) is the transpose of the vector \((X - \mu_\ell)\), and \(\gramian_\ell^{-1}\) is the inverse of the matrix \(\gramian_\ell\).
The volume of this ellipsoid is given by,
\begin{equation} \large V(\ell) = V_\ndim \sqrt{\left| \gramian_\ell \right|} ~, \end{equation}
where \(\left|\gramian_\ell\right|\) is the determinant of \(\gramian_\ell\) and,
\begin{equation} \large V_\ndim = \frac{\pi^{\ndim / 2}}{\up\Gamma(1 + \ndim / 2)} = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{(\ndim/2)!} \pi^{\ndim/2} & \text{if $\ndim$ is even} \\\\ 2^\ndim \frac{1}{\ndim!} \big( \frac{\ndim-1}{2} \big)! ~ \pi^{(\ndim-1)/2} & \text{if $\ndim$ is odd} \end{cases} \end{equation}
is the volume of an \(\ndim\)-ball (that is, a unit-logChoDia \(\ndim\)-dimensional hyper-sphere).
It is readily seen that the corresponding unit-volume ellipsoid \(\widehat\ell\) has the representative Gramian matrix,
\begin{equation} \large \gramian_{\widehat\ell} = V_\ell^{-2/\ndim} ~ \gramian_\ell ~. \end{equation}
More generally, to scale the ellipsoidal support of an MVUE distribution \(\ell\) by some factor \(\alpha\) along each coordinate axis, it suffices to be used the new scaled ellipsoid \(\ell^*\) with the representative Gramian matrix,
\begin{equation} \large \gramian_{\ell^*} = \alpha^2 ~ \gramian_\ell ~, \end{equation}
in which case, the volume of \(\ell^*\) becomes,
\begin{equation} \large V_{\ell^*} = \alpha^\ndim ~ V_\ell ~. \end{equation}
The Probability Density Function (PDF) of the MVUE distribution with ellipsoidal support \(\ell\) is given by,
\begin{equation} \large \pi(X | \ell) = \frac{1}{V(\ell)} = \frac{1}{V_\ndim \sqrt{\left|\gramian_\ell\right|}} ~. \end{equation}
Random Number Generation
The RNG generic interfaces within this module generate uniformly-distributed random vectors from within an \(\ndim\)-dimensional hyper-ellipsoid by generalizing the proposed approach of Marsaglia (1972) for choosing a point from the surface of a sphere.
\begin{equation} \unit{r} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^\ndim g_i^2}} \sum_{j=1}^{\ndim} g_j \unit{r}_j ~, \end{equation}
where \(\unit{r}_j\) are the unit vectors representing the orthogonal basis the of \(\ndim\)-space.\begin{equation} \bs{r}_{\sphere} = u^{1/\ndim} \unit{r} ~, \end{equation}
represents a vector pointing to a uniformly-distributed location inside of the \(\ndim\)-sphere.\begin{equation} \gramian = \mat{L}\mat{L}^H ~, \end{equation}
where \(\mat{L}\) is the left triangular matrix resulting from the Cholesky factorization, and \(\mat{L}^T\) is its Hermitian transpose.\begin{equation} \bs{r}_\ell = \mat{L} ~ \bs{r}_\sphere + \mu_\ell ~, \end{equation}
is uniformly distributed inside ellipsoid \(\ell\) centered at \(\mu_\ell\).The covariance matrix of the MVUE distribution
The covariance matrix of the multivariate uniform ellipsoidal distribution is given by its Gramian matrix as,
\begin{eqnarray*} \Sigma = \frac{\gramian}{\ndim + 2} ~, \end{eqnarray*}
