Introduction

cl-random is a library for (1) generating random draws from various commonly used distributions, and (2) calculating statistical functions, such as density, distribution and quantiles for these distributions.

In the implementation and the interface, our primary considerations were

1. Correctness. Above everything, all calculations should be correct. Correctness shall not be sacrificed for speed or implementational simplicity. Consequently, everything should be unit-tested all the time.

2. Simple and unified interface. Random variables are instances which can be used for calculations and random draws, for example,

(let ((rv (r-normal 13 2)))
  (pdf rv 15d0)             ; density
  (cdf rv 13d0)             ; CDF
  (draw rv))                ; a random draw

1. Speed and exposed building blocks on demand. You can obtain the generator function for random draws as a closure using the accessor "generator" from an rv. In addition, the package exports independent building blocks such as draw-standard-normal, which can be inlined into your code if absolutely necessary.

Implementation note: Subclasses are allowed to calculate intermediate values (eg to speed up computation) any time, eg right after the initialization of the instance, or on demand. The consequences or changing the slots of RV classes are UNDEFINED, but probably quite nasty. Don't do it. Note: lazy slots are currently not used, will be reintroduced in the future after some serious profiling/benchmarking.

To do list

Roadmap

1. Sketch the interface.

2. Some basic functionality. We are currently here, eg exponential, normal and gamma distributions are partially implemented.

3. Keep extending the library based on user demand.

4. Optimize things on demand, see where the bottlenecks are.

Specific planned improvements, roughly in order of priority

• more serious testing. I like the approach in Cook (2006): we should transform empirical quantiles to z-statistics and calculate the p-value using chi-square tests

• (mm rv x) and similar methods for multivariate normal (and maybe T)

Coding guidelines

Always try to implement state-of-the-art generation and calculation methods. If you need something, read up on the literature, the field has developed a lot in the last decades, and most older books present obsolete methods. Good starting points are Gentle (2005) and Press et al (2007), though you should use the latter one with care and don't copy algorithms without reading a few recent articles, they are not always the best ones (the authors admit this, but they claim that some algorithms are there for pedagogical purposes).

Always document the references in the docstring, and include the full citation in doc/references.bib (BibTeX format).

Do at least basic optimization with declarations (eg until SBCL doesn't give a notes any more, notes about return values are OK). Benchmarks are always welcome, and should be documented.

Document doubts and suggestions for improvements, use !! and ??, more marks mean higher priority.

The naming convention for building blocks is something like (draw|cdf|pdf|quantile|...)-(standard-)?distribution-name(possible-suffix)?, eg pdf-standard-normal or draw-standard-gamma1

Structure: r-uniformized-markov-jump ()

Define a random variable for uniformized markov jumps,
which returns two values: the time spent in the state, and the index of the next state (or the corresponding element in KEYS, which is a vector of the same length). TRANSITION-RATES defaults to the sum of keys, however, it can be specified to be larger, in which case the markov chain may remain in the same state and return NO-CHANGE as the second value. Defines features DURATION and JUMP, which return the two underlying random variables.

5.2.3 Macros

Macro: define-rv NAME CONSTRUCTOR-LAMBDA-LIST OPTIONS SLOTS CONSTRUCTOR-FORM &rest METHODS

Define a random variable, abstracting from the representation. Syntax:

NAME is a symbol, and will name the class and the creation function.

CONSTRUCTOR-LAMBDA-LIST will be used to wrap the CONSTRUCTOR-FORM, which can use the locally define macro (MAKE :slot-name value1 ...) to initialize slots.

SLOTS is a list of (slot-name &key type read-only reader) slot specifications. When READER is T, SLOT-NAME is used instead, otherwise a method is defined using the given symbol.

OPTIONS is (&key documentation instance), the default instance is a gensym.

METHODS are (function-name lambda-list &body body), with (INSTANCE NAME) prepended to the lambda-list, ie the instance is accessible using INSTANCE. Also, within BODY, slots are accessible by their names.

5.2.4 Functions

Function: %next-double-float LIMIT RNG

Handle the single or double float case of RANDOM. We generate a float in [0d0, 1d0) by clobbering the mantissa of 1d0 with random bits (52 bits); this yields a number in [1d0, 2d0). Then 1d0 is subtracted.

Package

cl-random

Source

generator.lisp (file)

Function: %next-integer LIMIT RNG

Generates an integer greater than or equal to zero and less than LIMIT. Successive chunks are concatenated without overlap to construct integers larger than a single chunk. The return value has this property: If two integers are generated from the same RNG with LIMIT equal to 2^m and 2^n, respectively, then bit k is the same in both integers for 0 <= k < min(m,n). Each call to %NEXT-INTEGER consumes at least one chunk; bits left over from previous chunks are not re-used.

Function: %next-single-float LIMIT RNG

Handle the single or double float case of RANDOM. We generate a float in [0f0, 1f0) by clobbering the mantissa of 1f0 with random bits (23 bits); this yields a number in [1f0, 2f0). Then 1f0 is subtracted.
