Crate rscopulas

Crate rscopulas 

Source
Expand description

Core copula modeling for validated pseudo-observations.

rscopulas is the main Rust surface for fitting, evaluating, and sampling:

  • single-family copulas such as Gaussian, Student t, Clayton, Frank, and Gumbel-Hougaard,
  • low-level pair-copula kernels with h-functions and inverse h-functions, including Khoudraji asymmetric pair copulas,
  • C-vine, D-vine, and R-vine copulas.

The crate assumes your data is already in pseudo-observation form: finite values strictly inside (0, 1). If you start from raw observations, estimate or transform the marginals first, then build a PseudoObs matrix.

§Quick start

use ndarray::array;
use rand::{rngs::StdRng, SeedableRng};
use rscopulas::{CopulaModel, FitOptions, GaussianCopula, PseudoObs};

let data = PseudoObs::new(array![
    [0.12, 0.18],
    [0.21, 0.25],
    [0.27, 0.22],
    [0.35, 0.42],
    [0.48, 0.51],
    [0.56, 0.49],
    [0.68, 0.73],
    [0.82, 0.79],
])?;

let fit = GaussianCopula::fit(&data, &FitOptions::default())?;
println!("AIC: {}", fit.diagnostics.aic);

let log_pdf = fit.model.log_pdf(&data, &Default::default())?;
println!("first log density = {}", log_pdf[0]);

let mut rng = StdRng::seed_from_u64(7);
let sample = fit.model.sample(4, &mut rng, &Default::default())?;
println!("sample = {:?}", sample);

§Fit a vine copula

use ndarray::array;
use rscopulas::{
    PairCopulaFamily, PseudoObs, SelectionCriterion, VineCopula, VineFitOptions,
};

let data = PseudoObs::new(array![
    [0.12, 0.18, 0.21],
    [0.21, 0.25, 0.29],
    [0.27, 0.22, 0.31],
    [0.35, 0.42, 0.39],
    [0.48, 0.51, 0.46],
    [0.56, 0.49, 0.58],
    [0.68, 0.73, 0.69],
    [0.82, 0.79, 0.76],
])?;

let options = VineFitOptions {
    family_set: vec![
        PairCopulaFamily::Independence,
        PairCopulaFamily::Gaussian,
        PairCopulaFamily::Clayton,
        PairCopulaFamily::Frank,
        PairCopulaFamily::Gumbel,
        PairCopulaFamily::Khoudraji,
    ],
    include_rotations: true,
    criterion: SelectionCriterion::Aic,
    truncation_level: Some(1),
    ..VineFitOptions::default()
};

let fit = VineCopula::fit_r_vine(&data, &options)?;
println!("structure = {:?}", fit.model.structure());
println!("order = {:?}", fit.model.order());

§Conditional sampling from a vine

A fitted vine natively supports conditional simulation through the Rosenblatt transform. Pin the conditioning column at the Rosenblatt anchor position variable_order[0] by placing it at the end of order, then feed its uniforms into inverse_rosenblatt alongside fresh random uniforms for the free columns:

use ndarray::{Array2, Axis, s};
use rand::{rngs::StdRng, Rng, SeedableRng};
use rscopulas::{PseudoObs, SampleOptions, VineCopula, VineFitOptions};

let target = 2usize; // column to condition on
let order = vec![0, 1, target];
let vine = VineCopula::fit_c_vine_with_order(
    &data, &order, &VineFitOptions::default(),
)?.model;
assert_eq!(vine.variable_order()[0], target);

// Build U: known column at target, fresh uniforms elsewhere.
let n = 1_000;
let d = vine.variable_order().len();
let known = Array2::<f64>::from_elem((n, 1), 0.9);
let mut rng = StdRng::seed_from_u64(0);
let mut u = Array2::<f64>::zeros((n, d));
u.column_mut(target).assign(&known.index_axis(Axis(1), 0));
for obs in 0..n {
    for var in 0..d {
        if var != target {
            u[(obs, var)] = rng.random();
        }
    }
}
let v = vine.inverse_rosenblatt(u.view(), &SampleOptions::default())?;
assert_eq!(v.shape(), &[n, d]);

The Python API ships a VineCopula.sample_conditional(known, n, seed) convenience that does this plumbing for you and also supports k >= 2 known columns via a partial forward Rosenblatt pass.

§Backend expectations

The crate exposes explicit execution policy controls through ExecPolicy and Device. Today, Auto is conservative and does not promise that every numerically heavy path uses CUDA or Metal. If you need a deterministic backend choice, prefer ExecPolicy::Force(...).
