This function generates a Gumbel Minimum distribution with a specified mean \(\mu\) and standard deviation \(\sigma\).

u = gumbel_min_sampling(parameters, method, n_samples, seed)

Input variables

Name Description Type
parameters

Dictionary of parameters for the Gumbel minimum distribution. Keys:

  • 'mean': Mean [float]
  • 'sigma': Standard deviation [float]

dictionary
method

Sampling method. Supports the following values:

  • 'mcs': Crude Monte Carlo Sampling
  • 'lhs': Latin Hypercube Sampling

string
n_samples Number of samples to generate integer
seed Seed for random number generation. Use None for a random seed integer or none

Output variables

Name Description Type
u Random samples list

Example 1

In this example, we will use the gumbel_min_sampling function from the parepy_toolbox to generate two random samples (\(n=400\)) following a Gumbel Minimum distribution. The first set is sampled using the Monte Carlo Sampling (MCS) method, and the second using the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) method. The mean and standard deviation are defined asĀ \([10, 2]\). The results are visualized using histograms with Kernel Density Estimates (KDE) plotted (using matplotlib lib) side-by-side for comparison.

# Library
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from parepy_toolbox import gumbel_min_sampling

# Sampling
n = 400
x = gumbel_min_sampling({'mean': 10, 'sigma': 2}, 'mcs', n)
y = gumbel_min_sampling({'mean': 10, 'sigma': 2}, 'lhs', n)

# Plot
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(7, 3))
sns.histplot(x, kde=True, bins=30, color='blue', ax=axes[0], alpha=0.6, edgecolor='black')
axes[0].set_title('MCS Sampling')
axes[0].set_xlabel('Values')
axes[0].set_ylabel('Densidade')
sns.histplot(y, kde=True, bins=30, color='green', ax=axes[1], alpha=0.6, edgecolor='black')
axes[1].set_title('LHS Sampling')
axes[1].set_xlabel('Valores')
axes[1].set_ylabel('Densidade')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

Example 2

In this example, we will use the gumbel_min_sampling function from the parepy_toolbox to generate two random samples (\(n=3\)) following a Gumbel Minimum distribution. Using the Monte Carlo algorithm and the specific seed (seed=25), we generated 3 times and compared the results.

from parepy_toolbox import gumbel_min_sampling

# Sampling
n = 3
x0 = gumbel_min_sampling({'mean': 10, 'sigma': 2}, 'mcs', n, 25)
x1 = gumbel_min_sampling({'mean': 10, 'sigma': 2}, 'mcs', n, 25)
x2 = gumbel_min_sampling({'mean': 10, 'sigma': 2}, 'mcs', n, 25)
print(x0, '\n', x1, '\n', x2)
[7.682671659156481, 10.003120351710036, 12.102906071949647] 
[7.682671659156481, 10.003120351710036, 12.102906071949647]
[7.682671659156481, 10.003120351710036, 12.102906071949647] 

Note that using the seed 25 by 3 times, we can generate the same values in a random variable.
