Revision as of 09:59, 1 October 2017
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Given a mapping between items and their required probability of occurrence, generate a million items randomly subject to the given probabilities and compare the target probability of occurrence versus the generated values.
The total of all the probabilities should equal one. (Because floating point arithmetic is involved, this is subject to rounding errors).
Use the following mapping to test your programs:
aleph 1/5.0 beth 1/6.0 gimel 1/7.0 daleth 1/8.0 he 1/9.0 waw 1/10.0 zayin 1/11.0 heth 1759/27720 # adjusted so that probabilities add to 1

Clojure
Works by first converting the provided Probability Distribution Function into a Cumulative Distribution Function, so that it can simply scan through the CDF list and return the current item as soon as the CDF at that point is greater than the random number generated. The code could be made more concise by skipping this step and instead tracking the whole PDF for each random number; but this code is both faster and more readable.
It uses the language built-in (frequencies) to count the number of occurrences of each distinct name. Note that while we actually generate a sequence of num-trials random samples, the sequence is lazily generated and lazily consumed. This means that the program will scale to an arbitrarily-large num-trials with no ill effects, by throwing away elements it's already processed.

This implementation converts the list of probabilities to sub-intervals of [0.0,1.0), then arranges those intervals in a binary tree for searching based on a random number input.
It is rather verbose, due to using the tree rather than a linear search, and having code to print the tree (which was used to debug it).

Julia
I made the solution to this task more difficult than I had anticipated by using the Hebrew characters (rather than their anglicised names) as labels for the sampled collection of objects. In doing so, I encountered an interesting subtlety of bidirectional text in Unicode. Namely, that strong right-to-left characters, such as those of Hebrew, override the directionality of European digits, which have weak directionality. Because of this property of Unicode, my table of items and yields had its lines of data interpreted as if it were entirely Hebrew and output in reverse order (from my English speaking perspective). I was able to get the table to display as I liked on my terminal by preceding the the Hebrew characters by the Unicode RLI (right-to-left isolate) control character (U+2067). However, when I pasted this output into this Rosetta Code entry, the display reverted to the "backwards" version. Rather than continue the struggle, trying to force this entry to display as it does on my terminal, I created an alternative version of the table. This "Displayable Here" table adds "yields" to to each line, and this strong left-to-right text makes the whole line display as left-to-right (without the need for a RLI characer). <lang Julia> p = [1/i for i in 5:11] plen = length(p) q = [0.0, [sum(p[1:i]) for i = 1:plen]] plab = [char(i) for i in 0x05d0:(0x05d0+plen)] hi = 10^6 push!(p, 1.0 - sum(p)) plen += 1
accum = zeros(Int, plen)
for i in 1:hi
accum[sum(rand() .>= q)] += 1
end
r = accum/hi
println("Rates at which items are selected (", hi, " trials).") println(" Item Expected Actual") for i in 1:plen
println(@sprintf(" \u2067%s %8.6f %8.6f", plab[i], p[i], r[i]))
end
println() println("Rates at which items are selected (", hi, " trials).") println(" Item Count Expected Actual") for i in 1:plen
println(@sprintf(" %s yields %6d %8.6f %8.6f", plab[i], accum[i], p[i], r[i]))

Racket
probabalistic-choice uses inexact (float) arithmetic
probabalistic-choice/exact uses fractions and greatest common denominators and the likes
The test submodule is used for unit tests, and is not run when this code is loaded as a module. Either run the program in DrRacket or run `raco test prob-choice.rkt`
<lang racket>#lang racket
- returns a probabalistic choice from the sequence choices
- choices generates two values -- the chosen value and a
- probability (weight) of the choice.
- Note that a hash where keys are choices and values are probabilities
- is such a sequence.
- if the total probability < 1 then choice could return #f
- if the total probability > 1 then some choices may be impossible

- ditto, but all probabilities must be exact rationals

Scala
This algorithm consists of a concise two-line tail-recursive loop (def weighted). The rest of the code is for API robustness, testing and display. weightedProb is for the task as stated (0 < p < 1), and weightedFreq is the equivalent based on integer frequencies (f >= 0). <lang Scala>object ProbabilisticChoice extends App {

def weightedProb[A](prob: LinkedHashMap[A,Double]): A = { require(prob.forall{case (_, p) => p > 0 && p < 1}) assume(prob.values.sum == 1) def weighted(todo: Iterator[(A,Double)], rand: Double, accum: Double = 0): A = todo.next match { case (s, i) if rand < (accum + i) => s case (_, i) => weighted(todo, rand, accum + i) } weighted(prob.toIterator, scala.util.Random.nextDouble) }
def weightedFreq[A](freq: LinkedHashMap[A,Int]): A = { require(freq.forall{case (_, f) => f >= 0}) require(freq.values.sum > 0) def weighted(todo: Iterator[(A,Int)], rand: Int, accum: Int = 0): A = todo.next match { case (s, i) if rand < (accum + i) => s case (_, i) => weighted(todo, rand, accum + i) } weighted(freq.toIterator, scala.util.Random.nextInt(freq.values.sum)) }
