Classes

ChiBarSquared

class nipy.algorithms.statistics.rft.ChiBarSquared(dfn=1, search=[1])

ECcone

class nipy.algorithms.statistics.rft.ECcone(mu=[1], dfd=inf, search=[1], product=[1])

Bases: IntrinsicVolumes

EC approximation to supremum distribution of var==1 Gaussian process

A class that takes the intrinsic volumes of a set and gives the EC approximation to the supremum distribution of a unit variance Gaussian process with these intrinsic volumes. This is the basic building block of all of the EC densities.

If product is not None, then this product (an instance of IntrinsicVolumes) will effectively be prepended to the search region in any call, but it will also affect the (quasi-)polynomial part of the EC density. For instance, Hotelling’s T^2 random field has a sphere as product, as does Roy’s maximum root.

ECquasi

class nipy.algorithms.statistics.rft.ECquasi(c_or_r, r=0, exponent=None, m=None)

Bases: poly1d

Polynomials with premultiplier

A subclass of poly1d consisting of polynomials with a premultiplier of the form:

(1 + x^2/m)^-exponent

where m is a non-negative float (possibly infinity, in which case the function is a polynomial) and exponent is a non-negative multiple of 1/2.

These arise often in the EC densities.
