Question

我有许多元组（par1，par2），即通过多次重复实验获得的二维参数空间中的点。

我正在寻找计算和可视化置信椭圆的可能性（不确定这是否是正确的术语）。这是我在网上找到的一个示例图，用于显示我的意思：

所以原则上我必须将多元正态分布拟合到我猜测的数据点的二维直方图。有人可以帮我吗？

Answer 1

听起来你只想要分散点的2-sigma椭圆？

如果是这样，请考虑这样的事情（从一些论文的代码：https://github.com/joferkington/oost_paper_code/blob/master/error_ellipse.py）：

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse

def plot_point_cov(points, nstd=2, ax=None, **kwargs):
    """
    Plots an `nstd` sigma ellipse based on the mean and covariance of a point
    "cloud" (points, an Nx2 array).

    Parameters
    ----------
        points : An Nx2 array of the data points.
        nstd : The radius of the ellipse in numbers of standard deviations.
            Defaults to 2 standard deviations.
        ax : The axis that the ellipse will be plotted on. Defaults to the 
            current axis.
        Additional keyword arguments are pass on to the ellipse patch.

    Returns
    -------
        A matplotlib ellipse artist
    """
    pos = points.mean(axis=0)
    cov = np.cov(points, rowvar=False)
    return plot_cov_ellipse(cov, pos, nstd, ax, **kwargs)

def plot_cov_ellipse(cov, pos, nstd=2, ax=None, **kwargs):
    """
    Plots an `nstd` sigma error ellipse based on the specified covariance
    matrix (`cov`). Additional keyword arguments are passed on to the 
    ellipse patch artist.

    Parameters
    ----------
        cov : The 2x2 covariance matrix to base the ellipse on
        pos : The location of the center of the ellipse. Expects a 2-element
            sequence of [x0, y0].
        nstd : The radius of the ellipse in numbers of standard deviations.
            Defaults to 2 standard deviations.
        ax : The axis that the ellipse will be plotted on. Defaults to the 
            current axis.
        Additional keyword arguments are pass on to the ellipse patch.

    Returns
    -------
        A matplotlib ellipse artist
    """
    def eigsorted(cov):
        vals, vecs = np.linalg.eigh(cov)
        order = vals.argsort()[::-1]
        return vals[order], vecs[:,order]

    if ax is None:
        ax = plt.gca()

    vals, vecs = eigsorted(cov)
    theta = np.degrees(np.arctan2(*vecs[:,0][::-1]))

    # Width and height are "full" widths, not radius
    width, height = 2 * nstd * np.sqrt(vals)
    ellip = Ellipse(xy=pos, width=width, height=height, angle=theta, **kwargs)

    ax.add_artist(ellip)
    return ellip

if __name__ == '__main__':
    #-- Example usage -----------------------
    # Generate some random, correlated data
    points = np.random.multivariate_normal(
            mean=(1,1), cov=[[0.4, 9],[9, 10]], size=1000
            )
    # Plot the raw points...
    x, y = points.T
    plt.plot(x, y, 'ro')

    # Plot a transparent 3 standard deviation covariance ellipse
    plot_point_cov(points, nstd=3, alpha=0.5, color='green')

    plt.show()

Answer 2

参阅帖子How to draw a covariance error ellipse。

这是python的实现：

import numpy as np
from scipy.stats import norm, chi2

def cov_ellipse(cov, q=None, nsig=None, **kwargs):
    """
    Parameters
    ----------
    cov : (2, 2) array
        Covariance matrix.
    q : float, optional
        Confidence level, should be in (0, 1)
    nsig : int, optional
        Confidence level in unit of standard deviations. 
        E.g. 1 stands for 68.3% and 2 stands for 95.4%.

    Returns
    -------
    width, height, rotation :
         The lengths of two axises and the rotation angle in degree
    for the ellipse.
    """

    if q is not None:
        q = np.asarray(q)
    elif nsig is not None:
        q = 2 * norm.cdf(nsig) - 1
    else:
        raise ValueError('One of `q` and `nsig` should be specified.')
    r2 = chi2.ppf(q, 2)

    val, vec = np.linalg.eigh(cov)
    width, height = 2 * sqrt(val[:, None] * r2)
    rotation = np.degrees(arctan2(*vec[::-1, 0]))

    return width, height, rotation

在Joe Kington的回答中，标准差的含义是错误。通常我们使用1,2西格玛为68％，95％置信水平，但他的答案中的2西格玛椭圆不包含95％的总分布概率。正确的方法是使用卡方分布来估算椭圆大小，如post所示。

Answer 3

我略微修改了上面的一个示例，它绘制了错误或置信区域轮廓。现在我认为它给出了正确的轮廓。

它给出了错误的轮廓，因为当它应该分别应用于每个数据集时，它将scoreatpercentile方法应用于联合数据集（蓝色+红色点）。

修改后的代码可以在下面找到：

import numpy
import scipy
import scipy.stats
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# generate two normally distributed 2d arrays
x1=numpy.random.multivariate_normal((100,420),[[120,80],[80,80]],400)
x2=numpy.random.multivariate_normal((140,340),[[90,-70],[-70,80]],400)

# fit a KDE to the data
pdf1=scipy.stats.kde.gaussian_kde(x1.T)
pdf2=scipy.stats.kde.gaussian_kde(x2.T)

# create a grid over which we can evaluate pdf
q,w=numpy.meshgrid(range(50,200,10), range(300,500,10))
r1=pdf1([q.flatten(),w.flatten()])
r2=pdf2([q.flatten(),w.flatten()])

# sample the pdf and find the value at the 95th percentile
s1=scipy.stats.scoreatpercentile(pdf1(pdf1.resample(1000)), 5)
s2=scipy.stats.scoreatpercentile(pdf2(pdf2.resample(1000)), 5)

# reshape back to 2d
r1.shape=(20,15)
r2.shape=(20,15)

# plot the contour at the 95th percentile
plt.contour(range(50,200,10), range(300,500,10), r1, [s1],colors='b')
plt.contour(range(50,200,10), range(300,500,10), r2, [s2],colors='r')

# scatter plot the two normal distributions
plt.scatter(x1[:,0],x1[:,1],alpha=0.3)
plt.scatter(x2[:,0],x2[:,1],c='r',alpha=0.3)

Answer 4

我猜你要找的是计算Confidence Regions。

我不知道怎么回事，但作为一个起点，我会检查sherpa python的应用程序。至少，在他们的Scipy 2011演讲中，作者提到你可以用它确定并获得置信区域（你可能需要为你的数据建立一个模型）。
