mvstdnormcdf
(lower, upper, corrcoef, **kwds)[source]¶ standardized multivariate normal cumulative distribution function
This is a wrapper for scipy.stats.kde.mvn.mvndst which calculates a rectangular integral over a standardized multivariate normal distribution.
This function assumes standardized scale, that is the variance in each dimension is one, but correlation can be arbitrary, covariance = correlation matrix
- Parameters
- lower, upperarray_like, 1d
lower and upper integration limits with length equal to the number of dimensions of the multivariate normal distribution. It can contain -np.inf or np.inf for open integration intervals
- corrcoef
float
or array_like specifies correlation matrix in one of three ways, see notes
- optional keyword parameters to influence integration
- maxptsint, maximum number of function values allowed. This
parameter can be used to limit the time. A sensible strategy is to start with maxpts = 1000*N, and then increase maxpts if ERROR is too large.
abseps : float absolute error tolerance.
releps : float relative error tolerance.
- Returns
- cdfvalue
float
value of the integral
- cdfvalue

mvnormcdf
cdf of multivariate normal distribution without standardization
Notes
The correlation matrix corrcoef can be given in 3 different ways If the multivariate normal is two-dimensional than only the correlation coefficient needs to be provided. For general dimension the correlation matrix can be provided either as a one-dimensional array of the upper triangular correlation coefficients stacked by rows, or as full square correlation matrix
Examples
>>> print(mvstdnormcdf([-np.inf,-np.inf], [0.0,np.inf], 0.5)) 0.5 >>> corr = [[1.0, 0, 0.5],[0,1,0],[0.5,0,1]] >>> print(mvstdnormcdf([-np.inf,-np.inf,-100.0], [0.0,0.0,0.0], corr, abseps=1e-6)) 0.166666399198 >>> print(mvstdnormcdf([-np.inf,-np.inf,-100.0],[0.0,0.0,0.0],corr, abseps=1e-8)) something wrong completion with ERROR > EPS and MAXPTS function values used; increase MAXPTS to decrease ERROR; 1.048330348e-006 0.166666546218 >>> print(mvstdnormcdf([-np.inf,-np.inf,-100.0],[0.0,0.0,0.0], corr, maxpts=100000, abseps=1e-8)) 0.166666588293
