Helper tools to construct probability distributions built from expert elicited data for use in monte carlo simulations.

Credit to Brett Hoover, packaging by @magoo

Usage

pip install elicited
import elicited as e

elicited is just a helper tool when using numpy and scipy, so you'll need these in your code.

import numpy as np
from scipy.stats import poisson, zipf, beta, pareto, lognorm

Lognormal

See Occurance and Applications for examples of lognormal distributions in nature.

Expert: Most customers hold around $20K (mode) but I could imagine a customer with $2.5M (max)

mode = 20000
max = 2500000

mean, stdv = e.elicitLogNormal(mode, max)
asset_values = lognorm(s=stdv, scale=np.exp(mean))
asset_values.rvs(100)

Pareto

The 80/20 rule. See Occurance and Applications

Expert: The legal costs of an incident could be devastating. Typically costs are almost zero (val_min) but a black swan could be $100M (val_max).

b = e.elicitPareto(val_min, val_max)
p = pareto(b, loc=val_min-1., scale=1.))

PERT

See PERT Distribution

Expert: Our customers have anywhere from $500-$6000 (val_min / val_max), but it's most typically around $4500 (val_mod)

PERT_a, PERT_b = e.elicitPERT(val_min, val_mod, val_max)
pert = beta(PERT_a, PERT_b, loc=val_min, scale=val_max-val_min)

Zipf's

See Applications

Expert: If we get sued, there will only be a few litigants (nMin). Very rarely it could be 30 or more litigants (nMax), maybe once every thousand cases (pMax) it would be more.

nMin = 1
nMax = 30
pMax = 1/1000

Zs = e.elicitZipf(nMin, nMax, pMax, report=True)

litigants = zipf(Zs, nMin-1)

litigants.rvs(100)

Reference: Other Useful Elicitations

Listed as a courtesy, these distributions are simple enough to elicit data into directly without a helper function.

Uniform

A "zero knowledge" distribution where all values within the range have equal probability of appearing. Similar to random.randint(a, b)

Expert: The crowd will be between 50 (min) and 500 (max) due to fire code restrictions and the existing residents in the building.

from scipy.stats import uniform

min = 50
max = 500

range = max - min

crowd_size = uniform(min, range)
crowd_size.rvs(100)

Poisson

Expert: About 3000 Customers (average) add a credit card to their account every quarter.

from scipy.stats import poisson
average = 3000
upsells = poisson(average)
upsells.rvs(100)
