CQuadraticTimeMMD Class Reference

Detailed Description

This class implements the quadratic time Maximum Mean Statistic as described in [1]. The MMD is the distance of two probability distributions \(p\) and \(q\) in a RKHS which we denote by

\[ \hat{\eta_k}=\text{MMD}[\mathcal{F},p,q]^2=\textbf{E}_{x,x'} \left[ k(x,x')\right]-2\textbf{E}_{x,y}\left[ k(x,y)\right] +\textbf{E}_{y,y'}\left[ k(y,y')\right]=||\mu_p - \mu_q||^2_\mathcal{F} \]

.

Given two sets of samples \(\{x_i\}_{i=1}^{n_x}\sim p\) and \(\{y_i\}_{i=1}^{n_y}\sim q\), \(n_x+n_y=n\), the unbiased estimate of the above statistic is computed as

\[ \hat{\eta}_{k,U}=\frac{1}{n_x(n_x-1)}\sum_{i=1}^{n_x}\sum_{j\neq i} k(x_i,x_j)+\frac{1}{n_y(n_y-1)}\sum_{i=1}^{n_y}\sum_{j\neq i}k(y_i,y_j) -\frac{2}{n_xn_y}\sum_{i=1}^{n_x}\sum_{j=1}^{n_y}k(x_i,y_j) \]

A biased version is

\[ \hat{\eta}_{k,V}=\frac{1}{n_x^2}\sum_{i=1}^{n_x}\sum_{j=1}^{n_x} k(x_i,x_j)+\frac{1}{n_y^2}\sum_{i=1}^{n_y}\sum_{j=1}^{n_y}k(y_i,y_j) -\frac{2}{n_xn_y}\sum_{i=1}^{n_x}\sum_{j=1}^{n_y}k(x_i,y_j) \]

When \(n_x=n_y=\frac{n}{2}\), an incomplete version can also be computed as the following

\[ \hat{\eta}_{k,U^-}=\frac{1}{\frac{n}{2}(\frac{n}{2}-1)}\sum_{i\neq j} h(z_i,z_j) \]

where for each pair \(z=(x,y)\), \(h(z,z')=k(x,x')+k(y,y')-k(x,y')- k(x',y)\).

The type (biased/unbiased/incomplete) can be selected via set_statistic_type(). Note that there are presently two setups for computing statistic. While using BIASED, UNBIASED or INCOMPLETE, the estimate returned by compute_statistic() is \(\frac{n_xn_y}{n_x+n_y}\hat{\eta}_k\). If DEPRECATED ones are used, then this returns \((n_x+n_y)\hat{\eta}_k\) in general and \((\frac{n}{2}) \hat{\eta}_k\) when \(n_x=n_y=\frac{n}{2}\). This holds for the null distribution samples as well.

Estimating variance of the asymptotic distribution of the statistic under null and alternative hypothesis can be done using compute_variance() method. This is internally done alongwise computing statistics to avoid recomputing the kernel.

Variance under null is computed as \(\sigma_{k,0}^2=2\hat{\kappa}_2=2(\kappa_2-2\kappa_1+\kappa_0)\) where \(\kappa_0=\left(\mathbb{E}_{X,X'}k(X,X')\right )^2\), \(\kappa_1=\mathbb{E}_X\left[(\mathbb{E}_{X'}k(X,X'))^2\right]\), and \(\kappa_2=\mathbb{E}_{X,X'}k^2(X,X')\) and variance under alternative is computed as

\[ \sigma_{k,A}^2=4\rho_y\left\{\mathbb{E}_X\left[\left(\mathbb{E}_{X'} k(X,X')-\mathbb{E}_Yk(X,Y)\right)^2 \right ] -\left(\mathbb{E}_{X,X'} k(X,X')-\mathbb{E}_{X,Y}k(X,Y) \right)^2\right \}+4\rho_x\left\{ \mathbb{E}_Y\left[\left(\mathbb{E}_{Y'}k(Y,Y')-\mathbb{E}_Xk(X,Y) \right)^2\right ] -\left(\mathbb{E}_{Y,Y'}k(Y,Y')-\mathbb{E}_{X,Y} k(X,Y) \right)^2\right \} \]

where \(\rho_x=\frac{n_x}{n}\) and \(\rho_y=\frac{n_y}{n}\).

Note that statistic and variance estimation can be done for multiple kernels at once as well.

Along with the statistic comes a method to compute a p-value based on different methods. Permutation test is also possible. If unsure which one to use, sampling with 250 permutation iterations always is correct (but slow).

To choose, use set_null_approximation_method() and choose from.

MMD2_SPECTRUM_DEPRECATED: For a fast, consistent test based on the spectrum of the kernel matrix, as described in [2]. Only supported if Eigen3 is installed.

MMD2_SPECTRUM: Similar to the deprecated version except it estimates the statistic under null as \(\frac{n_xn_y}{n_x+n_y}\hat{\eta}_{k,U}\rightarrow \sum_r\lambda_r(Z_r^2-1)\) instead (see method description for more details).

MMD2_GAMMA: for a very fast, but not consistent test based on moment matching of a Gamma distribution, as described in [2].

PERMUTATION: For permuting available samples to sample null-distribution

If you do not know about your data, but want to use the MMD from a kernel matrix, just use the custom kernel constructor. Everything else will work as usual.

For kernel selection see CMMDKernelSelection.

NOTE: \(n_x\) and \(n_y\) are represented by \(m\) and \(n\), respectively in the implementation.

SGVector< float64_t > fit_null_gamma ( )

Approximates the null-distribution by the two parameter gamma distribution. It works in O(m^2) where m is the number of samples from each distribution. Its very fast, but may be inaccurate. However, there are cases where it performs very well. Returns parameters of gamma distribution that is fitted.

Called by compute_p_value() if null approximation method is set to MMD2_GAMMA.

Note that when being used for constructing a test, the provided statistic HAS to be the biased version (see paper for details). To use, set BIASED_DEPRECATED as statistic type. Note that m*Null-distribution is fitted, which is fine since the statistic is also m*MMD.

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

This is a wrapper that calls compute_statistic first and then calls compute_p_value using the obtained statistic. In some statistic classes, it might be possible to compute statistic and p-value in one single run which is more efficient. Therefore, this method might be overwritten in subclasses.

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 in CStreamingMMD.

Definition at line 113 of file HypothesisTest.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
alphatest level alpha.
Returns
true if null hypothesis is rejected and false otherwise

SGVector< float64_t > sample_null ( )
virtualinherited

merges both sets of samples and computes the test statistic m_num_null_samples times. This version checks if a precomputed custom kernel is used, and, if so, just permutes it instead of re- computing it in every iteration.

Returns
vector of all statistics

Reimplemented from CTwoSampleTest.

Reimplemented in CStreamingMMD.

Definition at line 55 of file KernelTwoSampleTest.cpp.

SGVector< float64_t > sample_null_spectrum ( index_t  num_samples,
index_t  num_eigenvalues 
)

Returns a set of samples of an estimate of the null distribution using the Eigen-spectrum of the centered kernel matrix of the merged samples of p and q. May be used to compute p-value (easy).

The estimate is computed as

\[ \frac{n_xn_y}{n_x+n_y}\hat{\eta}_{k,U}\rightarrow\sum_{l=1}^\infty \lambda_l\left(Z^2_l-1 \right) \]

where \({Z_l}\stackrel{i.i.d.}{\sim}\mathcal{N}(0,1)\) and \(\lambda_l\) are the eigenvalues of centered kernel matrix HKH.

kernel matrix needs to be stored in memory

Note that m*n/(m+n)*Null-distribution is returned, which is fine since the statistic is also m*n/(m+n)*MMD^2

Works well if the kernel matrix is NOT diagonal dominant. See Gretton, A., Fukumizu, K., & Harchaoui, Z. (2011). A fast, consistent kernel two-sample test.

Parameters
num_samplesnumber of samples to draw
num_eigenvaluesnumber of eigenvalues to use to draw samples Maximum number of m+n-1 where m and n are the sizes of samples from p and q respectively.
Returns
samples from the estimated null distribution

SGVector< float64_t > sample_null_spectrum_DEPRECATED ( index_t  num_samples,
index_t  num_eigenvalues 
)

Returns a set of samples of an estimate of the null distribution using the Eigen-spectrum of the centered kernel matrix of the merged samples of p and q. May be used to compute p-value (easy).

The unbiased version uses

\[ t\text{MMD}_u^2[\mathcal{F},X,Y]\rightarrow\sum_{l=1}^\infty \lambda_l\left((a_l\rho_x^{-\frac{1}{{2}}} -b_l\rho_y^{-\frac{1}{{2}}})^2-(\rho_x\rho_y)^{-1} \right) \]

where \(t=m+n\), \(\lim_{m,n\rightarrow\infty}m/t\rightarrow \rho_x\) and \(\rho_y\) likewise (equation 10 from [1]) and \(\lambda_l\) are estimated as \(\frac{\nu_l}{(m+n)}\), where \(\nu_l\) are the eigenvalues of centered kernel matrix HKH.

The biased version uses

\[ t\text{MMD}_b^2[\mathcal{F},X,Y]\rightarrow\sum_{l=1}^\infty \lambda_l\left((a_l\rho_x^{-\frac{1}{{2}}}- b_l\rho_y^{-\frac{1}{{2}}})^2\right) \]

kernel matrix needs to be stored in memory

Note that (m+n)*Null-distribution is returned, which is fine since the statistic is also (m+n)*MMD: except when m and n are equal, then m*MMD^2 is returned

Works well if the kernel matrix is NOT diagonal dominant. See Gretton, A., Fukumizu, K., & Harchaoui, Z. (2011). A fast, consistent kernel two-sample test.

Parameters
num_samplesnumber of samples to draw
num_eigenvaluesnumber of eigenvalues to use to draw samples Maximum number of m+n-1 where m and n are the sizes of samples from p and q respectively. It is usually safe to use a smaller number since they decay very fast, however, a conservative approach would be to use all (-1 does this). See paper for details.
Returns
samples from the estimated null distribution
