The pbox R package is designed for risk assessment and management. It is an advanced statistical library that excels in exploring probability distributions within a given dataset. The tool offers a method to encapsulate and query the probability space effortlessly. Its distinctive feature lies in the ease with which users can navigate and analyze marginal, joint, and conditional probabilities while taking into account the underlying correlation structure inherent in the data. This unique capability empowers users to delve into intricate relationships and dependencies within a dataset, providing a solid foundation for making well-informed decisions in the context of risk management scenarios. With pbox is straightforward to answer questions like:
What is the probability of experiencing extreme heat waves in Indonesia with temperatures above 32 degrees?
What is the probability of simultaneous extreme heat waves in Vietnam with temperatures above than 31 degrees and the average regional temperature being above than 26 degrees?
Given that the average regional temperature is 26 degrees, what is the probability of experiencing extreme heat waves in both Vietnam and Indonesia with temperatures above 33 degrees?
Generate a pbox object from data
data("SEAex")
pbx<-set_pbox(SEAex)
pbx
Access the data and the copula object
Access the results of the automated selection for both the marginal distribution and the copula
Explore the probabilistic space
#Get marginal distribution
qpbox(pbx,mj = "Malaysia:33")
#Get Joint distribution
qpbox(pbx,mj = "Malaysia:33 & Vietnam:34")
# Conditional distribution distribution with Pr(X <= x, Y <= y) / Pr(Y = y)
qpbox(pbx,mj = "Malaysia:33 & median:c(Vietnam,Thailand)", co="mean:c(avgRegion)", fixed=TRUE)
# Estimate confidence intervals
qpbox(pbx,mj = "Vietnam:31 & avgRegion:26", co="Malaysia:32",CI=T)
Map the probabilistic space with a gird of quantile values
grid_pbox(pbx, mj = c("Vietnam", "Malaysia"))
Query the probabilistic space under different scenarios with different combinations of parameters for a single query
scenario_pbox(pbx,mj = "Vietnam:31 & avgRegion:26", param_list = list(Vietnam="mu"))
The pbox package is currently under active development. The development version can be installed from GitHub,the stable version can be install directly from CRAN. Below are the installation instructions for both the development version and the CRAN version:
To install the development version from GitHub, you first need to install the remotes package if you haven't already. Then, use remotes::install_github to install the pbox package from GitHub:
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("athammad/pbox")
Install pbox directly from CRAN with the following command:
