def rvs_ratio_uniforms(pdf, umax, vmin, vmax, size=1, c=0, random_state=None):
"""
Generate random samples from a probability density function using the
ratio-of-uniforms method.
Parameters
----------
pdf : callable
A function with signature `pdf(x)` that is proportional to the
probability density function of the distribution.
umax : float
The upper bound of the bounding rectangle in the u-direction.
vmin : float
The lower bound of the bounding rectangle in the v-direction.
vmax : float
The upper bound of the bounding rectangle in the v-direction.
size : int or tuple of ints, optional
Defining number of random variates (default is 1).
c : float, optional.
Shift parameter of ratio-of-uniforms method, see Notes. Default is 0.
random_state : {None, int, `~np.random.RandomState`, `~np.random.Generator`}, optional
If `random_state` is `None` the `~np.random.RandomState` singleton is
used.
If `random_state` is an int, a new ``RandomState`` instance is used,
seeded with random_state.
If `random_state` is already a ``RandomState`` or ``Generator``
instance, then that object is used.
Default is None.
Returns
-------
rvs : ndarray
The random variates distributed according to the probability
distribution defined by the pdf.
Notes
-----
Given a univariate probability density function `pdf` and a constant `c`,
define the set ``A = {(u, v) : 0 < u <= sqrt(pdf(v/u + c))}``.
If `(U, V)` is a random vector uniformly distributed over `A`,
then `V/U + c` follows a distribution according to `pdf`.
The above result (see [1]_, [2]_) can be used to sample random variables
using only the pdf, i.e. no inversion of the cdf is required. Typical
choices of `c` are zero or the mode of `pdf`. The set `A` is a subset of
the rectangle ``R = [0, umax] x [vmin, vmax]`` where
- ``umax = sup sqrt(pdf(x))``
- ``vmin = inf (x - c) sqrt(pdf(x))``
- ``vmax = sup (x - c) sqrt(pdf(x))``
In particular, these values are finite if `pdf` is bounded and
``x**2 * pdf(x)`` is bounded (i.e. subquadratic tails).
One can generate `(U, V)` uniformly on `R` and return
`V/U + c` if `(U, V)` are also in `A` which can be directly
verified.
The algorithm is not changed if one replaces `pdf` by k * `pdf` for any
constant k > 0. Thus, it is often convenient to work with a function
that is proportional to the probability density function by dropping
unneccessary normalization factors.
Intuitively, the method works well if `A` fills up most of the
enclosing rectangle such that the probability is high that `(U, V)`
lies in `A` whenever it lies in `R` as the number of required
iterations becomes too large otherwise. To be more precise, note that
the expected number of iterations to draw `(U, V)` uniformly
distributed on `R` such that `(U, V)` is also in `A` is given by
the ratio ``area(R) / area(A) = 2 * umax * (vmax - vmin) / area(pdf)``,
where `area(pdf)` is the integral of `pdf` (which is equal to one if the
probability density function is used but can take on other values if a
function proportional to the density is used). The equality holds since
the area of `A` is equal to 0.5 * area(pdf) (Theorem 7.1 in [1]_).
If the sampling fails to generate a single random variate after 50000
iterations (i.e. not a single draw is in `A`), an exception is raised.
If the bounding rectangle is not correctly specified (i.e. if it does not
contain `A`), the algorithm samples from a distribution different from
the one given by `pdf`. It is therefore recommended to perform a
test such as `~scipy.stats.kstest` as a check.

Examples
--------
>>> from scipy import stats
Simulate normally distributed random variables. It is easy to compute the
bounding rectangle explicitly in that case. For simplicity, we drop the
normalization factor of the density.
>>> f = lambda x: np.exp(-x**2 / 2)
>>> v_bound = np.sqrt(f(np.sqrt(2))) * np.sqrt(2)
>>> umax, vmin, vmax = np.sqrt(f(0)), -v_bound, v_bound
>>> np.random.seed(12345)
>>> rvs = stats.rvs_ratio_uniforms(f, umax, vmin, vmax, size=2500)
The K-S test confirms that the random variates are indeed normally
distributed (normality is not rejected at 5% significance level):
>>> stats.kstest(rvs, 'norm')[1]
0.33783681428365553
The exponential distribution provides another example where the bounding
rectangle can be determined explicitly.
>>> np.random.seed(12345)
>>> rvs = stats.rvs_ratio_uniforms(lambda x: np.exp(-x), umax=1,
... vmin=0, vmax=2*np.exp(-1), size=1000)
>>> stats.kstest(rvs, 'expon')[1]
0.928454552559516
