[docs]def binom_conf_interval(k, n, confidence_level=0.68269, interval="wilson"): r"""Binomial proportion confidence interval given k successes, n trials. Parameters ---------- k : int or numpy.ndarray Number of successes (0 <= ``k`` <= ``n``). n : int or numpy.ndarray Number of trials (``n`` > 0). If both ``k`` and ``n`` are arrays, they must have the same shape. confidence_level : float, optional Desired probability content of interval. Default is 0.68269, corresponding to 1 sigma in a 1-dimensional Gaussian distribution. Confidence level must be in range [0, 1]. interval : {'wilson', 'jeffreys', 'flat', 'wald'}, optional Formula used for confidence interval. See notes for details. The ``'wilson'`` and ``'jeffreys'`` intervals generally give similar results, while 'flat' is somewhat different, especially for small values of ``n``. ``'wilson'`` should be somewhat faster than ``'flat'`` or ``'jeffreys'``. The 'wald' interval is generally not recommended. It is provided for comparison purposes. Default is ``'wilson'``. Returns ------- conf_interval : ndarray ``conf_interval[0]`` and ``conf_interval[1]`` correspond to the lower and upper limits, respectively, for each element in ``k``, ``n``. Notes ----- In situations where a probability of success is not known, it can be estimated from a number of trials (n) and number of observed successes (k). For example, this is done in Monte Carlo experiments designed to estimate a detection efficiency. It is simple to take the sample proportion of successes (k/n) as a reasonable best estimate of the true probability :math:`\epsilon`. However, deriving an accurate confidence interval on :math:`\epsilon` is non-trivial. There are several formulas for this interval (see [1]_). Four intervals are implemented here: **1. The Wilson Interval.** This interval, attributed to Wilson [2]_, is given by .. math:: CI_{\rm Wilson} = \frac{k + \kappa^2/2}{n + \kappa^2} \pm \frac{\kappa n^{1/2}}{n + \kappa^2} ((\hat{\epsilon}(1 - \hat{\epsilon}) + \kappa^2/(4n))^{1/2} where :math:`\hat{\epsilon} = k / n` and :math:`\kappa` is the number of standard deviations corresponding to the desired confidence interval for a *normal* distribution (for example, 1.0 for a confidence interval of 68.269%). For a confidence interval of 100(1 - :math:`\alpha`)%, .. math:: \kappa = \Phi^{-1}(1-\alpha/2) = \sqrt{2}{\rm erf}^{-1}(1-\alpha). **2. The Jeffreys Interval.** This interval is derived by applying Bayes' theorem to the binomial distribution with the noninformative Jeffreys prior [3]_, [4]_. The noninformative Jeffreys prior is the Beta distribution, Beta(1/2, 1/2), which has the density function .. math:: f(\epsilon) = \pi^{-1} \epsilon^{-1/2}(1-\epsilon)^{-1/2}. The justification for this prior is that it is invariant under reparameterizations of the binomial proportion. The posterior density function is also a Beta distribution: Beta(k + 1/2, n - k + 1/2). The interval is then chosen so that it is *equal-tailed*: Each tail (outside the interval) contains :math:`\alpha`/2 of the posterior probability, and the interval itself contains 1 - :math:`\alpha`. This interval must be calculated numerically. Additionally, when k = 0 the lower limit is set to 0 and when k = n the upper limit is set to 1, so that in these cases, there is only one tail containing :math:`\alpha`/2 and the interval itself contains 1 - :math:`\alpha`/2 rather than the nominal 1 - :math:`\alpha`. **3. A Flat prior.** This is similar to the Jeffreys interval, but uses a flat (uniform) prior on the binomial proportion over the range 0 to 1 rather than the reparametrization-invariant Jeffreys prior. The posterior density function is a Beta distribution: Beta(k + 1, n - k + 1). The same comments about the nature of the interval (equal-tailed, etc.) also apply to this option. **4. The Wald Interval.** This interval is given by .. math:: CI_{\rm Wald} = \hat{\epsilon} \pm \kappa \sqrt{\frac{\hat{\epsilon}(1-\hat{\epsilon})}{n}} The Wald interval gives acceptable results in some limiting cases. Particularly, when n is very large, and the true proportion :math:`\epsilon` is not "too close" to 0 or 1. However, as the later is not verifiable when trying to estimate :math:`\epsilon`, this is not very helpful. Its use is not recommended, but it is provided here for comparison purposes due to its prevalence in everyday practical statistics. This function requires ``scipy`` for all interval types.

Given a set of datapoint pairs where the ``x`` values are continuously distributed and the ``success`` values are binomial ("success / failure" or "true / false"), place the pairs into bins according to ``x`` value and calculate the binomial proportion (fraction of successes) and confidence interval in each bin. Parameters ---------- x : sequence Values. success : sequence of bool Success (`True`) or failure (`False`) corresponding to each value in ``x``. Must be same length as ``x``. bins : int or sequence of scalar, optional If bins is an int, it defines the number of equal-width bins in the given range (10, by default). If bins is a sequence, it defines the bin edges, including the rightmost edge, allowing for non-uniform bin widths (in this case, 'range' is ignored). range : (float, float), optional The lower and upper range of the bins. If `None` (default), the range is set to ``(x.min(), x.max())``. Values outside the range are ignored. confidence_level : float, optional Must be in range [0, 1].

It is provided for comparison purposes. Default is 'wilson'. Returns ------- bin_ctr : ndarray Central value of bins. Bins without any entries are not returned. bin_halfwidth : ndarray Half-width of each bin such that ``bin_ctr - bin_halfwidth`` and ``bin_ctr + bins_halfwidth`` give the left and right side of each bin, respectively. p : ndarray Efficiency in each bin. perr : ndarray 2-d array of shape (2, len(p)) representing the upper and lower uncertainty on p in each bin. Notes ----- This function requires ``scipy`` for all interval types. See Also -------- binom_conf_interval : Function used to estimate confidence interval in each bin. Examples -------- Suppose we wish to estimate the efficiency of a survey in detecting astronomical sources as a function of magnitude (i.e., the probability of detecting a source given its magnitude). In a realistic case, we might prepare a large number of sources with randomly selected magnitudes, inject them into simulated images, and then record which were detected at the end of the reduction pipeline. As a toy example, we generate 100 data points with randomly selected magnitudes between 20 and 30 and "observe" them with a known detection function (here, the error function, with 50% detection probability at magnitude 25): >>> from scipy.special import erf >>> from scipy.stats.distributions import binom >>> def true_efficiency(x): ... return 0.5 - 0.5 * erf((x - 25.) / 2.) >>> mag = 20. + 10. * np.random.rand(100) >>> detected = binom.rvs(1, true_efficiency(mag)) >>> bins, binshw, p, perr = binned_binom_proportion(mag, detected, bins=20) >>> plt.errorbar(bins, p, xerr=binshw, yerr=perr, ls='none', marker='o', ... label='estimate') .. plot:: import numpy as np from scipy.special import erf from scipy.stats.distributions import binom import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from astropy.stats import binned_binom_proportion def true_efficiency(x): return 0.5 - 0.5 * erf((x - 25.) / 2.) np.random.seed(400) mag = 20. + 10. * np.random.rand(100) np.random.seed(600) detected = binom.rvs(1, true_efficiency(mag)) bins, binshw, p, perr = binned_binom_proportion(mag, detected, bins=20) plt.errorbar(bins, p, xerr=binshw, yerr=perr, ls='none', marker='o', label='estimate') X = np.linspace(20., 30., 1000) plt.plot(X, true_efficiency(X), label='true efficiency') plt.ylim(0., 1.) plt.title('Detection efficiency vs magnitude') plt.xlabel('Magnitude') plt.ylabel('Detection efficiency') plt.legend() plt.show() The above example uses the Wilson confidence interval to calculate the uncertainty ``perr`` in each bin (see the definition of various confidence intervals in `binom_conf_interval`). A commonly used alternative is the Wald interval. However, the Wald interval can give nonsensical uncertainties when the efficiency is near 0 or 1, and is therefore **not** recommended. As an illustration, the following example shows the same data as above but uses the Wald interval rather than the Wilson interval to calculate ``perr``: >>> bins, binshw, p, perr = binned_binom_proportion(mag, detected, bins=20, ... interval='wald') >>> plt.errorbar(bins, p, xerr=binshw, yerr=perr, ls='none', marker='o', ... label='estimate') .. plot:: import numpy as np from scipy.special import erf from scipy.stats.distributions import binom import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from astropy.stats import binned_binom_proportion def true_efficiency(x): return 0.5 - 0.5 * erf((x - 25.) / 2.) np.random.seed(400) mag = 20. + 10. * np.random.rand(100) np.random.seed(600) detected = binom.rvs(1, true_efficiency(mag)) bins, binshw, p, perr = binned_binom_proportion(mag, detected, bins=20, interval='wald') plt.errorbar(bins, p, xerr=binshw, yerr=perr, ls='none', marker='o', label='estimate') X = np.linspace(20., 30., 1000) plt.plot(X, true_efficiency(X), label='true efficiency') plt.ylim(0., 1.) plt.title('The Wald interval can give nonsensical uncertainties') plt.xlabel('Magnitude') plt.ylabel('Detection efficiency') plt.legend() plt.show() """ x = np.ravel(x) success = np.ravel(success).astype(bool) if x.shape != success.shape: raise ValueError("sizes of x and success must match") # Put values into a histogram (`n`).

Returns ------- conf_interval : ndarray ``conf_interval[0]`` and ``conf_interval[1]`` correspond to the lower and upper limits, respectively, for each element in ``n``. Notes ----- The "right" confidence interval to use for Poisson data is a matter of debate. The CDF working group `recommends <https://web.archive.org/web/20210222093249/https://www-cdf.fnal.gov/physics/statistics/notes/pois_eb.txt>`_ using root-n throughout, largely in the interest of comprehensibility, but discusses other possibilities. The ATLAS group also discusses several possibilities but concludes that no single representation is suitable for all cases. The suggestion has also been `floated <https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012EPJP..127...24A>`_ that error bars should be attached to theoretical predictions instead of observed data, which this function will not help with (but it's easy; then you really should use the square root of the theoretical prediction). The intervals implemented here are: **1. 'root-n'** This is a very widely used standard rule derived from the maximum-likelihood estimator for the mean of the Poisson process. While it produces questionable results for small n and outright wrong results for n=0, it is standard enough that people are (supposedly) used to interpreting these wonky values. The interval is .. math:: CI = (n-\sqrt{n}, n+\sqrt{n}) **2. 'root-n-0'** This is identical to the above except that where n is zero the interval returned is (0,1). **3. 'pearson'** This is an only-slightly-more-complicated rule based on Pearson's chi-squared rule (as `explained <https://web.archive.org/web/20210222093249/https://www-cdf.fnal.gov/physics/statistics/notes/pois_eb.txt>`_ by the CDF working group). It also has the nice feature that if your theory curve touches an endpoint of the interval, then your data point is indeed one sigma away. The interval is .. math:: CI = (n+0.5-\sqrt{n+0.25}, n+0.5+\sqrt{n+0.25}) **4. 'sherpagehrels'** This rule is used by default in the fitting package 'sherpa'. The `documentation <https://cxc.harvard.edu/sherpa4.4/statistics/#chigehrels>`_ claims it is based on a numerical approximation published in `Gehrels (1986) <https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1986ApJ...303..336G>`_ but it does not actually appear there. It is symmetrical, and while the upper limits are within about 1% of those given by 'frequentist-confidence', the lower limits can be badly wrong. The interval is .. math:: CI = (n-1-\sqrt{n+0.75}, n+1+\sqrt{n+0.75}) **5. 'frequentist-confidence'** These are frequentist central confidence intervals: .. math:: CI = (0.5 F_{\chi^2}^{-1}(\alpha;2n), 0.5 F_{\chi^2}^{-1}(1-\alpha;2(n+1))) where :math:`F_{\chi^2}^{-1}` is the quantile of the chi-square distribution with the indicated number of degrees of freedom and :math:`\alpha` is the one-tailed probability of the normal distribution (at the point given by the parameter 'sigma'). See `Maxwell (2011) <https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011arXiv1102.0822M>`_ for further details. **6. 'kraft-burrows-nousek'** This is a Bayesian approach which allows for the presence of a known background :math:`B` in the source signal :math:`N`. For a given confidence level :math:`CL` the confidence interval :math:`[S_\mathrm{min}, S_\mathrm{max}]` is given by: .. math:: CL = \int^{S_\mathrm{max}}_{S_\mathrm{min}} f_{N,B}(S)dS where the function :math:`f_{N,B}` is: .. math:: f_{N,B}(S) = C \frac{e^{-(S+B)}(S+B)^N}{N!} and the normalization constant :math:`C`: .. math:: C = \left[ \int_0^\infty \frac{e^{-(S+B)}(S+B)^N}{N!} dS \right] ^{-1} = \left( \sum^N_{n=0} \frac{e^{-B}B^n}{n!} \right)^{-1} See `Kraft, Burrows, and Nousek (1991) <https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1991ApJ...374..344K>`_ for further details. These formulas implement a positive, uniform prior. `Kraft, Burrows, and Nousek (1991) <https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1991ApJ...374..344K>`_ discuss this choice in more detail and show that the problem is relatively insensitive to the choice of prior. This function has an optional dependency: Either `Scipy <https://www.scipy.org/>`_ or `mpmath <http://mpmath.org/>`_ need to be available (Scipy works only for N < 100).

If cdf was obtained from data by fitting, then fpp is not correct and it will be necessary to do Monte Carlo simulations to interpret D. D should normally be independent of the shape of CDF.
