Package: lhsmdu
LHS-MDUInstallationYou can install lhsmdu using pip::$ pip install lhsmduAlternatively, you can clone on github and then install the package locally::$ git clone https://github.com/sahilm89/lhsmdu
$ cd lhsmdu
$ python setup.py install --user   # for this user only.or::$ pip install git+https://github.com/sahilm89/lhsmdu --userBasicsThis is a package for generating latin hypercube samples with multi-dimensional uniformity.To use, simply do::>>> import lhsmdu 
>>> k = lhsmdu.sample(2, 20) # Latin Hypercube Sampling with multi-dimensional uniformityThis will generate a nested list with 2 variables, with 20 samples each.To plot and see the difference between Monte Carlo and LHS-MDU sampling for a 2 dimensional system::>>> l = lhsmdu.createRandomStandardUniformMatrix(2, 20) # Monte Carlo sampling
>>> k = lhsmdu.sample(2, 20) # Latin Hypercube Sampling with multi-dimensional uniformity
>>> k = np.array(k)
>>> l = np.array(l)
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
>>> fig = plt.figure() 
>>> ax = fig.gca()
>>> ax.set_xticks(numpy.arange(0,1,0.1))
>>> ax.set_yticks(numpy.arange(0,1,0.1))
>>> plt.scatter(k[0], k[1], color="g", label="LHS-MDU") 
>>> plt.scatter(l[0], l[1], color="r", label="MC") 
>>> plt.grid()
>>> plt.show()You can use the strata generated by the algorithm to sample again, if you so desire. For this, you can do::>>> m = lhsmdu.resample()
>>> n = lhsmdu.resample()
>>> o = lhsmdu.resample()This will again generate the same number of samples as before, a nested list with 2 variables, with 20 samples each.You can plot these together and see the sampling from the strata::
>>> m = np.array(m)
>>> n = np.array(n)
>>> o = np.array(o)>>> fig = plt.figure() 
>>> ax = fig.gca()
>>> ax.set_xticks(numpy.arange(0,1,0.1))
>>> ax.set_yticks(numpy.arange(0,1,0.1))
>>> plt.title("LHS-MDU") 
>>> plt.scatter(k[0], k[1], c="g", label="sample 1") 
>>> plt.scatter(m[0], m[1], c="r", label="resample 2") 
>>> plt.scatter(n[0], n[1], c="b", label="resample 3") 
>>> plt.scatter(o[0], o[1], c="y", label="resample 4") 
>>> plt.grid()
>>> plt.show()Alternatively, you can choose to get new strata each time, and see the sampling hence::>>> p = lhsmdu.sample(2, 20) # Latin Hypercube Sampling with multi-dimensional uniformity 
>>> q = lhsmdu.sample(2, 20) # Latin Hypercube Sampling with multi-dimensional uniformity 
>>> r = lhsmdu.sample(2, 20) # Latin Hypercube Sampling with multi-dimensional uniformity 

>>> p = np.array(p)
>>> q = np.array(q)
>>> r = np.array(r)

>>> fig = plt.figure() 
>>> ax = fig.gca()
>>> ax.set_xticks(numpy.arange(0,1,0.1))
>>> ax.set_yticks(numpy.arange(0,1,0.1))
>>> plt.title("LHS-MDU") 
>>> plt.scatter(k[0], k[1], c="g", label="sample 1") 
>>> plt.scatter(p[0], p[1], c="r", label="sample 2") 
>>> plt.scatter(q[0], q[1], c="b", label="sample 3") 
>>> plt.scatter(r[0], r[1], c="y", label="sample 4") 
>>> plt.grid()
>>> plt.show()===========================================================================================Changing the random seedYou will notice that the strata generated are the same each time you run the program again. This is because the random seed is a global constant set to a default value by design, so that simulations can be replicated. In order to change this behavior, you can set a new random seed using the following code::>>> randSeed = 11 # random number of choice 
>>> lhsmdu.setRandomSeed(randSeed) # Latin Hypercube Sampling with multi-dimensional uniformity 
>>> lhsmdu.sample(2, 20) # Latin Hypercube Sampling with multi-dimensional uniformityAlternatively, you can also set the seed by using sample with a new seed::>>> lhsmdu.sample(2, 20, randomSeed=randSeed) # Latin Hypercube Sampling with multi-dimensional uniformityTo change the random seed in every run, you can set on top of the program::>>> lhsmdu.setRandomSeed(None)Sampling from arbitrary CDFsAfter uniformly distributed samples have been generated from LHSMDU, you can convert these to samples from arbitrary distributions using inverse tranform sampling. In this, the CDF [0,1] of the distribution of interest is inverted, and then data points corresponding to the uniformly sampled points are picked up. To do this, you must have arv_contiuousorrv_discretedistribution instance taken from scipy.stats. You can also use frozen distributions (after setting loc and scale parameters). Following is an example for normal distribution.::>>> import scipy.stats.distributions as ssd
>>> p = ssd.norm
>>> new_samples = lhsmdu.inverseTransformSample(p, k[0])
>>> plt.hist(new_samples[0])
>>> plt.show()Citing this repositoryTo cite, please cite both the original paper from Deutsch and Deutsch:http://dx.doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.jspi.2011.09.016.
