1. Overview

Density ratio estimation is described as follows: for given two data samples x1 and x2 from unknown distributions p(x) and q(x) respectively, estimate w(x) = p(x) / q(x), where x1 and x2 are d-dimensional real numbers.

The estimated density ratio function w(x) can be used in many applications such as the inlier-based outlier detection [1] and covariate shift adaptation [2]. Other useful applications for density ratio estimation were summarized by Sugiyama et al. (2012) in [3].

The package densratio provides a function densratio() that returns an object with a method to estimate density ratio as compute_density_ratio().

Further, the alpha-relative density ratio p(x)/(alpha * p(x) + (1 - alpha) * q(x)) (where alpha is in the range [0, 1]) can also be estimated. When alpha is 0, this reduces to the ordinary density ratio w(x). The alpha-relative PE-divergence and KL-divergence between p(x) and q(x) are also computed.

For example,

import numpy as np
from scipy.stats import norm
from densratio import densratio

np.random.seed(1)
x = norm.rvs(size=500, loc=0, scale=1./8)
y = norm.rvs(size=500, loc=0, scale=1./2)
alpha = 0.1
densratio_obj = densratio(x, y, alpha=alpha)
print(densratio_obj)

gives the following output:

#> Method: RuLSIF
#> 
#> Alpha: 0.1
#> 
#> Kernel Information:
#>   Kernel type: Gaussian
#>   Number of kernels: 100
#>   Bandwidth(sigma): 0.1
#>   Centers: array([[-0.09591373],..
#> 
#> Kernel Weights (theta):
#>   array([0.04990797, 0.0550548 , 0.04784736, 0.04951904, 0.04840418,..
#> 
#> Regularization Parameter (lambda): 0.1
#> 
#> Alpha-Relative PE-Divergence: 0.618794133598705
#> 
#> Alpha-Relative KL-Divergence: 0.7037648129307483
#> 
#> Function to Estimate Density Ratio:
#>   compute_density_ratio(x)
#>

In this case, the true density ratio w(x) is known, so we can compare w(x) with the estimated density ratio w-hat(x). The code below gives the plot shown above.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from numpy import linspace

def true_alpha_density_ratio(sample):
    return norm.pdf(sample, 0, 1./8) / (alpha * norm.pdf(sample, 0, 1./8) + (1 - alpha) * norm.pdf(sample, 0, 1./2))

def estimated_alpha_density_ratio(sample):
    return densratio_obj.compute_density_ratio(sample)

sample_points = np.linspace(-1, 3, 400)
plt.plot(sample_points, true_alpha_density_ratio(sample_points), 'b-', label='True Alpha-Relative Density Ratio')
plt.plot(sample_points, estimated_alpha_density_ratio(sample_points), 'r-', label='Estimated Alpha-Relative Density Ratio')
plt.title("Alpha-Relative Density Ratio - Normal Random Variables (alpha={:03.2f})".format(alpha))
plt.legend()
plt.show()

2. Installation

You can install the package from PyPI.

$ pip install densratio

Also, you can install the package from GitHub.

$ pip install git+https://github.com/hoxo-m/densratio_py.git

The source code for densratio package is available on GitHub at https://github.com/hoxo-m/densratio_py.

3. Details

3.1. Basics

The package provides densratio(). The function returns an object that has a function to compute estimated density ratio.

For data samples x and y,

from scipy.stats import norm
from densratio import densratio

x = norm.rvs(size = 200, loc = 1, scale = 1./8)
y = norm.rvs(size = 200, loc = 1, scale = 1./2)
result = densratio(x, y)

In this case, result.compute_density_ratio() can compute estimated density ratio.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

density_ratio = result.compute_density_ratio(y)

plt.plot(y, density_ratio, "o")
plt.xlabel("x")
plt.ylabel("Density Ratio")
plt.show()

3.2. The Method

The package estimates density ratio by the RuLSIF method.

RuLSIF (Relative unconstrained Least-Squares Importance Fitting) estimates the alpha-relative density ratio by minimizing the squared loss between the true and estimated alpha-relative ratios. You can find more information in Hido et al. (2011) [1] and Liu et al (2013) [4].

The method assumes that the alpha-relative density ratio is represented by a linear kernel model:

w(x) = theta1 * K(x, c1) + theta2 * K(x, c2) + ... + thetab * K(x, cb) where K(x, c) = exp(- ||x - c||^2 / (2 * sigma ^ 2)) is the Gaussian RBF kernel.

densratio() performs the following: - Decides kernel parameter sigma by cross-validation. - Optimizes for kernel weights theta. - Computes the alpha-relative PE-divergence and KL-divergence from the learned alpha-relative ratio.

As the result, you can obtain compute_density_ratio(), which will compute the alpha-relative density ratio at the passed coordinates.

3.3. Result and Parameter Settings

densratio() outputs the result like as follows:

#> Method: RuLSIF
#> 
#> Alpha: 0
#> 
#> Kernel Information:
#>   Kernel type: Gaussian
#>   Number of kernels: 100
#>   Bandwidth(sigma): 0.1
#>   Centers: array([[0.92113356],..
#> 
#> Kernel Weights (theta):
#>   array([0.08848922, 0.03377533, 0.0753727 , 0.06141277, 0.02543963,..
#> 
#> Regularization Parameter (lambda): 1.0
#> 
#> Alpha-Relative PE-Divergence: 0.9635169300831041
#> 
#> Alpha-Relative KL-Divergence: 0.838826626547327
#> 
#> Function to Estimate Density Ratio:
#>   compute_density_ratio(x)
#>
  • Method is fixed as RuLSIF.
  • Kernel type is fixed as Gaussian RBF.
  • Number of kernels is the number of kernels in the linear model. You can change by setting kernel_num parameter. In default, kernel_num = 100.
  • Bandwidth(sigma) is the Gaussian kernel bandwidth. In default, sigma = "auto", the algorithm automatically select an optimal value by cross validation. If you set sigma a number, that will be used. If you set sigma a numeric array, the algorithm select an optimal value in them by cross validation.
  • Centers are centers of Gaussian kernels in the linear model. These are selected at random from the data sample x underlying a numerator distribution p(x). You can find the whole values in result.kernel_info.centers.
  • Kernel weights(theta) are theta parameters in the linear kernel model. You can find these values in result.theta.
  • The function to estimate the alpha-relative density ratio is named compute_density_ratio().

4. Multi Dimensional Data Samples

So far, we have deal with one-dimensional data samples x and y. densratio() allows to input multidimensional data samples as numpy.ndarray or numpy.matrix, as long as their dimensions are the same.

For example,

from scipy.stats import multivariate_normal
from densratio import densratio

np.random.seed(1)
x = multivariate_normal.rvs(size=3000, mean=[1, 1], cov=[[1. / 8, 0], [0, 1. / 8]])
y = multivariate_normal.rvs(size=3000, mean=[1, 1], cov=[[1. / 2, 0], [0, 1. / 2]])
alpha = 0
densratio_obj = densratio(x, y, alpha=alpha, sigma_range=[0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1], lambda_range=[0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05])
print(densratio_obj)

gives the following output:

#> Method: RuLSIF
#> 
#> Alpha: 0
#> 
#> Kernel Information:
#>   Kernel type: Gaussian
#>   Number of kernels: 100
#>   Bandwidth(sigma): 0.3
#>   Centers: array([[1.01477443, 1.38864061],..
#> 
#> Kernel Weights (theta):
#>   array([0.06151164, 0.08012094, 0.10467369, 0.13868176, 0.14917063,..
#> 
#> Regularization Parameter (lambda): 0.04
#> 
#> Alpha-Relative PE-Divergence: 0.653615870855595
#> 
#> Alpha-Relative KL-Divergence: 0.6214285743087565
#> 
#> Function to Estimate Density Ratio:
#>   compute_density_ratio(x)
#>

In this case, as well, we can compare the true density ratio with the estimated density ratio.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from numpy import linspace, dstack, meshgrid, concatenate

def true_alpha_density_ratio(x):
    return multivariate_normal.pdf(x, [1., 1.], [[1. / 8, 0], [0, 1. / 8]]) / \
           (alpha * multivariate_normal.pdf(x, [1., 1.], [[1. / 8, 0], [0, 1. / 8]]) + (1 - alpha) * multivariate_normal.pdf(x, [1., 1.], [[1. / 2, 0], [0, 1. / 2]]))

def estimated_alpha_density_ratio(x):
    return densratio_obj.compute_density_ratio(x)

range_ = np.linspace(0, 2, 200)
grid = np.concatenate(np.dstack(np.meshgrid(range_, range_)))
levels = [0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4.5]

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 4))
plt.subplot(1, 2, 1)
plt.contourf(range_, range_, true_alpha_density_ratio(grid).reshape(200, 200), levels)
#> <matplotlib.contour.QuadContourSet object at 0x0000022E950202E0>
plt.colorbar()
#> <matplotlib.colorbar.Colorbar object at 0x0000022E9500DA80>
plt.title("True Alpha-Relative Density Ratio")
plt.subplot(1, 2, 2)
plt.contourf(range_, range_, estimated_alpha_density_ratio(grid).reshape(200, 200), levels)
#> <matplotlib.contour.QuadContourSet object at 0x0000022E942C8EE0>
plt.colorbar()
#> <matplotlib.colorbar.Colorbar object at 0x0000022E95095150>
plt.title("Estimated Alpha-Relative Density Ratio")
plt.show()
