CLinearTimeMMD Class Reference

## Detailed Description

This class implements the linear time Maximum Mean Statistic as described in [1] for streaming data (see CStreamingMMD for description).

Given two sets of samples $$\{x_i\}_{i=1}^m\sim p$$ and $$\{y_i\}_{i=1}^m\sim q$$ the (unbiased) statistic is computed as

$\text{MMD}_l^2[\mathcal{F},X,Y]=\frac{1}{m_2}\sum_{i=1}^{m_2} h(z_{2i},z_{2i+1})$

where

$h(z_{2i},z_{2i+1})=k(x_{2i},x_{2i+1})+k(y_{2i},y_{2i+1})-k(x_{2i},y_{2i+1})- k(x_{2i+1},y_{2i})$

and $$m_2=\lfloor\frac{m}{2} \rfloor$$.

## Member Function Documentation

 void build_gradient_parameter_dictionary ( CMap< TParameter *, CSGObject * > * dict )
inherited

Builds a dictionary of all parameters in SGObject as well of those of SGObjects that are parameters of this object. Dictionary maps parameters to the objects that own them.

Parameters
 dict dictionary of parameters to be built.

Definition at line 1185 of file SGObject.cpp.

 CSGObject * clone ( )
virtualinherited

Creates a clone of the current object. This is done via recursively traversing all parameters, which corresponds to a deep copy. Calling equals on the cloned object always returns true although none of the memory of both objects overlaps.

Returns
an identical copy of the given object, which is disjoint in memory. NULL if the clone fails. Note that the returned object is SG_REF'ed

Definition at line 1302 of file SGObject.cpp.

 float64_t compute_p_value ( float64_t statistic )
virtualinherited

computes a p-value based on current method for approximating the null-distribution. The p-value is the 1-p quantile of the null- distribution where the given statistic lies in.

The method for computing the p-value can be set via set_null_approximation_method(). Since the null- distribution is normal, a Gaussian approximation is available.

Parameters
 statistic statistic value to compute the p-value for
Returns
p-value parameter statistic is the (1-p) percentile of the null distribution

Reimplemented from CTwoSampleTest.

Definition at line 119 of file StreamingMMD.cpp.

 SGVector< float64_t > compute_squared_mmd ( CKernel * kernel, CList * data, index_t num_this_run )
protectedvirtual

method that computes the squared MMD in linear time (see class description for the equation)

Parameters
 kernel the kernel to be used for computing MMD. This will be useful when multiple kernels are used data the list of data on which kernels are computed. The order of data in the list is $$x,x',\cdots\sim p$$ followed by $$y,y',\cdots\sim q$$. It is assumed that detele_data flag is set inside the list num_this_run number of data points in current blocks
Returns
the MMD values (the h-vectors)

Implements CStreamingMMD.

Definition at line 103 of file LinearTimeMMD.cpp.

 float64_t compute_statistic ( )
virtualinherited

Computes the squared MMD for the current data. This is an unbiased estimate. This method relies on compute_statistic_and_variance which has to be defined in the subclasses

Note that the underlying streaming feature parser has to be started before this is called. Otherwise deadlock.

Returns
squared MMD

Implements CKernelTwoSampleTest.

Definition at line 85 of file StreamingMMD.cpp.

 SGVector< float64_t > compute_statistic ( bool multiple_kernels )
virtualinherited

Same as compute_statistic(), but with the possibility to perform on multiple kernels at once

Parameters
 multiple_kernels if true, and underlying kernel is K_COMBINED, method will be executed on all subkernels on the same data
Returns
vector of results for subkernels

Implements CKernelTwoSampleTest.

Definition at line 95 of file StreamingMMD.cpp.

 void compute_statistic_and_Q ( SGVector< float64_t > & statistic, SGMatrix< float64_t > & Q )
virtual

Same as compute_statistic_and_variance, but computes a linear time estimate of the covariance of the multiple-kernel-MMD. See [1] for details.

Implements CStreamingMMD.

Definition at line 250 of file LinearTimeMMD.cpp.

 void compute_statistic_and_variance ( SGVector< float64_t > & statistic, SGVector< float64_t > & variance, bool multiple_kernels = false )
virtual

Computes squared MMD and a variance estimate, in linear time. If multiple_kernels is set to true, each subkernel is evaluated on the same data.

Parameters
 statistic return parameter for statistic, vector with entry for each kernel. May be allocated before but doesn not have to be variance return parameter for statistic, vector with entry for each kernel. May be allocated before but doesn not have to be multiple_kernels optional flag, if set to true, it is assumed that the underlying kernel is of type K_COMBINED. Then, the MMD is computed on all subkernel separately rather than computing it on the combination. This is used by kernel selection strategies that need to evaluate multiple kernels on the same data. Since the linear time MMD works on streaming data, one cannot simply compute MMD, change kernel since data would be different for every kernel.

Implements CStreamingMMD.

Definition at line 116 of file LinearTimeMMD.cpp.

 float64_t compute_threshold ( float64_t alpha )
virtualinherited

computes a threshold based on current method for approximating the null-distribution. The threshold is the value that a statistic has to have in ordner to reject the null-hypothesis.

The method for computing the p-value can be set via set_null_approximation_method(). Since the null- distribution is normal, a Gaussian approximation is available.

Parameters
 alpha test level to reject null-hypothesis
Returns
threshold for statistics to reject null-hypothesis

Reimplemented from CTwoSampleTest.

Definition at line 142 of file StreamingMMD.cpp.

 float64_t compute_variance_estimate ( )
virtualinherited

 DynArray< TParameter * > * load_all_file_parameters ( int32_t file_version, int32_t current_version, CSerializableFile * file, const char * prefix = "" )
inherited

maps all parameters of this instance to the provided file version and loads all parameter data from the file into an array, which is sorted (basically calls load_file_parameter(...) for all parameters and puts all results into a sorted array)

Parameters

 DynArray< TParameter * > * load_file_parameters ( const SGParamInfo * param_info, int32_t file_version, CSerializableFile * file, const char * prefix = "" )
inherited

Returns
new array with TParameter instances with the attached data

Definition at line 489 of file SGObject.cpp.

 void map_parameters ( DynArray< TParameter * > * param_base, int32_t & base_version, DynArray< const SGParamInfo * > * target_param_infos )
inherited

Takes a set of TParameter instances (base) with a certain version and a set of target parameter infos and recursively maps the base level wise to the current version using CSGObject::migrate(...). The base is replaced. After this call, the base version containing parameters should be of same version/type as the initial target parameter infos. Note for this to work, the migrate methods and all the internal parameter mappings have to match

Parameters
 param_base set of TParameter instances that are mapped to the provided target parameter infos base_version version of the parameter base target_param_infos set of SGParamInfo instances that specify the target parameter base

Definition at line 686 of file SGObject.cpp.

 TParameter * migrate ( DynArray< TParameter * > * param_base, const SGParamInfo * target )
protectedvirtualinherited

creates a new TParameter instance, which contains migrated data from the version that is provided. The provided parameter data base is used for migration, this base is a collection of all parameter data of the previous version. Migration is done FROM the data in param_base TO the provided param info Migration is always one version step. Method has to be implemented in subclasses, if no match is found, base method has to be called.

If there is an element in the param_base which equals the target, a copy of the element is returned. This represents the case when nothing has changed and therefore, the migrate method is not overloaded in a subclass

Parameters
 param_base set of TParameter instances to use for migration target parameter info for the resulting TParameter
Returns
a new TParameter instance with migrated data from the base of the type which is specified by the target parameter

Definition at line 893 of file SGObject.cpp.

 void one_to_one_migration_prepare ( DynArray< TParameter * > * param_base, const SGParamInfo * target, TParameter *& replacement, TParameter *& to_migrate, char * old_name = NULL )
protectedvirtualinherited

This method prepares everything for a one-to-one parameter migration. One to one here means that only ONE element of the parameter base is needed for the migration (the one with the same name as the target). Data is allocated for the target (in the type as provided in the target SGParamInfo), and a corresponding new TParameter instance is written to replacement. The to_migrate pointer points to the single needed TParameter instance needed for migration. If a name change happened, the old name may be specified by old_name. In addition, the m_delete_data flag of to_migrate is set to true. So if you want to migrate data, the only thing to do after this call is converting the data in the m_parameter fields. If unsure how to use - have a look into an example for this. (base_migration_type_conversion.cpp for example)

Parameters
 param_base set of TParameter instances to use for migration target parameter info for the resulting TParameter replacement (used as output) here the TParameter instance which is returned by migration is created into to_migrate the only source that is used for migration old_name with this parameter, a name change may be specified

Definition at line 833 of file SGObject.cpp.

 bool parameter_hash_changed ( )
virtualinherited
Returns
whether parameter combination has changed since last update

Definition at line 209 of file SGObject.cpp.

 bool perform_test ( float64_t alpha )
inherited

Performs the complete two-sample test on current data and returns a binary answer wheter null hypothesis is rejected or not.

This is just a wrapper for the above perform_test() method that returns a p-value. If this p-value lies below the test level alpha, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Should not be overwritten in subclasses. (Therefore not virtual)

Parameters
 alpha test level alpha.
Returns
true if null hypothesis is rejected and false otherwise

Definition at line 120 of file HypothesisTest.cpp.

 float64_t perform_test ( )
virtualinherited

Performs the complete two-sample test on current data and returns a p-value.

In case null distribution should be estimated with MMD1_GAUSSIAN, statistic and p-value are computed in the same loop, which is more efficient than first computing statistic and then computung p-values.

In case of sampling null, superclass method is called.

The method for computing the p-value can be set via set_null_approximation_method().

Returns
p-value such that computed statistic is the (1-p) quantile of the estimated null distribution

Reimplemented from CHypothesisTest.

Definition at line 255 of file SGObject.cpp.

 SGVector< float64_t > sample_null ( )
virtualinherited

Mimics sampling null for MMD. However, samples are not permutated but constantly streamed and then merged. Usually, this is not necessary since there is the Gaussian approximation for the null distribution. However, in certain cases this may fail and sampling the null distribution might be numerically more stable. Ovewrite superclass method that merges samples.

Returns
vector of all statistics

Reimplemented from CKernelTwoSampleTest.
