- """
- Generate random samples from a probability density function using the
- ratio-of-uniforms method.
- Parameters
- ----------
- pdf : callable
- A function with signature `pdf(x)` that is proportional to the
- probability density function of the distribution.
- umax : float
- The upper bound of the bounding rectangle in the u-direction.
- vmin : float
- The lower bound of the bounding rectangle in the v-direction.
- vmax : float
- The upper bound of the bounding rectangle in the v-direction.
- size : int or tuple of ints, optional
- Defining number of random variates (default is 1).
- c : float, optional.
- Shift parameter of ratio-of-uniforms method, see Notes. Default is 0.
- random_state : {None, int, `numpy.random.Generator`,
- `numpy.random.RandomState`}, optional
- If `seed` is None (or `np.random`), the `numpy.random.RandomState`
- singleton is used.
- If `seed` is an int, a new ``RandomState`` instance is used,
- seeded with `seed`.
- If `seed` is already a ``Generator`` or ``RandomState`` instance then
- that instance is used.
- Returns
- -------
- rvs : ndarray
- The random variates distributed according to the probability
- distribution defined by the pdf.
- Notes
- -----
- Given a univariate probability density function `pdf` and a constant `c`,
- define the set ``A = {(u, v) : 0 < u <= sqrt(pdf(v/u + c))}``.
- If `(U, V)` is a random vector uniformly distributed over `A`,
- then `V/U + c` follows a distribution according to `pdf`.
- The above result (see [1]_, [2]_) can be used to sample random variables
- using only the pdf, i.e. no inversion of the cdf is required. Typical
- choices of `c` are zero or the mode of `pdf`. The set `A` is a subset of
- the rectangle ``R = [0, umax] x [vmin, vmax]`` where
- - ``umax = sup sqrt(pdf(x))``
- - ``vmin = inf (x - c) sqrt(pdf(x))``
- - ``vmax = sup (x - c) sqrt(pdf(x))``
- In particular, these values are finite if `pdf` is bounded and
- ``x**2 * pdf(x)`` is bounded (i.e. subquadratic tails).
- One can generate `(U, V)` uniformly on `R` and return
- `V/U + c` if `(U, V)` are also in `A` which can be directly
- verified.
- The algorithm is not changed if one replaces `pdf` by k * `pdf` for any
- constant k > 0. Thus, it is often convenient to work with a function
- that is proportional to the probability density function by dropping
- unneccessary normalization factors.
- Intuitively, the method works well if `A` fills up most of the
- enclosing rectangle such that the probability is high that `(U, V)`
- lies in `A` whenever it lies in `R` as the number of required
- iterations becomes too large otherwise. To be more precise, note that
- the expected number of iterations to draw `(U, V)` uniformly
- distributed on `R` such that `(U, V)` is also in `A` is given by
- the ratio ``area(R) / area(A) = 2 * umax * (vmax - vmin) / area(pdf)``,
- where `area(pdf)` is the integral of `pdf` (which is equal to one if the
- probability density function is used but can take on other values if a
- function proportional to the density is used). The equality holds since
- the area of `A` is equal to 0.5 * area(pdf) (Theorem 7.1 in [1]_).
- If the sampling fails to generate a single random variate after 50000
- iterations (i.e. not a single draw is in `A`), an exception is raised.
- If the bounding rectangle is not correctly specified (i.e. if it does not
- contain `A`), the algorithm samples from a distribution different from
- the one given by `pdf`. It is therefore recommended to perform a
- test such as `~scipy.stats.kstest` as a check.

- Examples
- --------
- >>> import numpy as np
- >>> from scipy import stats
- >>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
- Simulate normally distributed random variables. It is easy to compute the
- bounding rectangle explicitly in that case. For simplicity, we drop the
- normalization factor of the density.
- >>> f = lambda x: np.exp(-x**2 / 2)
- >>> v_bound = np.sqrt(f(np.sqrt(2))) * np.sqrt(2)
- >>> umax, vmin, vmax = np.sqrt(f(0)), -v_bound, v_bound
- >>> rvs = stats.rvs_ratio_uniforms(f, umax, vmin, vmax, size=2500,
- ... random_state=rng)
- The K-S test confirms that the random variates are indeed normally
- distributed (normality is not rejected at 5% significance level):
- >>> stats.kstest(rvs, 'norm')[1]
- 0.250634764150542
- The exponential distribution provides another example where the bounding
- rectangle can be determined explicitly.
- >>> rvs = stats.rvs_ratio_uniforms(lambda x: np.exp(-x), umax=1,
- ... vmin=0, vmax=2*np.exp(-1), size=1000,
- ... random_state=rng)
- >>> stats.kstest(rvs, 'expon')[1]
