55
+
56
+ Multivariate probit models for correlated binary outcomes, with a pluggable
57
+ inner model.
58
+
59
+ ## The model
60
+
61
+ Each outcome is a threshold on a latent Gaussian variable, and the outcomes are
62
+ tied together by the correlation of those latents:
63
+
64
+ ```
65
+ Y_j = 1[ η_j(x) + e_j > 0 ], e ~ N(0, Σ), j = 1 … d
66
+ ```
67
+
68
+ `η_j` is an arbitrary real-valued function of the features — linear by default,
69
+ or XGBoost, a random forest, or anything else that fits `(X, y)`. Σ is a
70
+ correlation matrix (unit diagonal) carrying the dependence between outcomes.
71
+ Marginally, `P(Y_j = 1 | x) = Φ(η_j(x))`.
72
+
73
+ Fitting is cross-fit two-stage IFM: every margin is fitted independently, then
74
+ Σ is estimated by maximum likelihood with those margins held fixed. That
75
+ separation is what lets the inner model be a black box. The algorithm, and the
76
+ alternatives that were tested and rejected, are in
77
+ **[docs/ifm.md](docs/ifm.md)**.
78
+
79
+ ## Install
80
+
81
+ ```bash
82
+ pip install multivariate-probit # core: numpy + scipy
83
+ pip install multivariate-probit[xgboost] # adds the "xgboost" preset
84
+ pip install multivariate-probit[all] # every preset
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ ## Quickstart
88
+
89
+ ```python
90
+ from multivariate_probit import MultivariateProbit
91
+
92
+ model = MultivariateProbit(inner="linear").fit(X, Y) # Y is (n, d), 0/1
93
+
94
+ proba = model.predict_proba(X)
95
+ proba.marginal # P(Y_j = 1 | x), shape (n, d)
96
+ proba.joint([1, 0, 1]) # P(Y = pattern | x), shape (n,)
97
+ proba.all() # P(every outcome = 1 | x)
98
+ proba.any(outcomes=[0, 2]) # P(at least one of these | x)
99
+
100
+ model.correlation_ # the fitted Σ, shape (d, d)
101
+ model.transform(X) # latent scores η, shape (n, d)
102
+ model.sample(X, n_samples=100) # simulated outcome patterns
103
+ model.score(X, Y) # mean joint log-likelihood
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ `predict_proba` returns an object that behaves like the marginal-probability
107
+ array (`np.asarray(proba)`, indexing, `.shape`) and additionally answers the
108
+ joint questions Σ was estimated for. Marginal predictions do not involve Σ at
109
+ all; everything joint does.
110
+
111
+ ## Everything here is a squashing function over a latent index
112
+
113
+ The inner model never sees a probability, and never sees another outcome's
114
+ labels. It produces an unbounded score η_j(x) on (-∞, ∞); Φ is the only
115
+ squashing function applied to it. Any estimator that emits a real-valued score,
116
+ or a probability that can be pushed back through Φ⁻¹, is a legal margin.
117
+
118
+ That is the whole abstraction, and it is why the inner model is swappable
119
+ without touching the estimation code.
120
+
121
+ ## Inner models
122
+
123
+ | Preset | Estimator | Requires |
124
+ | --- | --- | --- |
125
+ | `"linear"` (default), `"probit"` | native probit via IRLS | — |
126
+ | `"xgboost"`, `"xgb"` | `XGBClassifier`, tuned for calibration | `xgboost` |
127
+ | `"rf"`, `"random_forest"` | `RandomForestClassifier` | `scikit-learn` |
128
+
129
+ ```python
130
+ MultivariateProbit(inner="xgboost") # a preset
131
+ MultivariateProbit(inner=XGBClassifier(max_depth=4)) # any sklearn-shaped model
132
+ MultivariateProbit(inner=["linear", "xgboost", "linear"]) # one per outcome
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ `available_inners()` lists the presets; `register_inner(name, factory)` adds
136
+ your own. See **[docs/api.md](docs/api.md)** for the inner-model contract.
137
+
138
+ ## Two knobs that cost time
139
+
140
+ - **`dependence`** — `"joint"` (default) maximises the full d-variate
141
+ likelihood for Σ. `"pairwise"` maximises each pair's bivariate likelihood
142
+ instead: consistent, orders of magnitude cheaper, and the right choice once
143
+ you have more than a handful of outcomes.
144
+ - **`cv`** — `5` by default, cross-fitting the margins so Σ is never estimated
145
+ from in-sample predictions. This is not optional hygiene: in-sample margins
146
+ drive every fitted correlation to +1. `cv=None` skips it, which is defensible
147
+ for the linear default and reckless for anything that can overfit.
148
+
149
+ ## Status
150
+
151
+ Alpha. The linear and XGBoost paths are covered by tests; the `rf` preset is
152
+ wired but untested. Standard errors are not computed — `correlation_` is a
153
+ point estimate. Known gaps are listed in
154
+ **[docs/limitations.md](docs/limitations.md)**.
155
+
156
+ ## Documentation
157
+
158
+ - **[docs/ifm.md](docs/ifm.md)** — the estimation algorithm, and why IFM over
159
+ the alternatives
160
+ - **[docs/implementation.md](docs/implementation.md)** — what is hand-rolled,
161
+ what comes from SciPy, and why
162
+ - **[docs/api.md](docs/api.md)** — parameters, attributes, methods, extension

18
+ )
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ ### Parameters
22
+
23
+ | Name | Default | Meaning |
24
+ | --- | --- | --- |
25
+ | `inner` | `"linear"` | Preset name, estimator instance, factory, or a list of length d giving one per outcome. Instances are deep-copied, so one instance can seed every margin. |
26
+ | `inner_params` | `None` | Keyword arguments forwarded to the preset factory. Ignored when `inner` is already an instance. |
27
+ | `dependence` | `"joint"` | `"joint"` maximises the full d-variate likelihood for Σ; `"pairwise"` maximises each pair's bivariate likelihood (composite likelihood, far cheaper). |
28
+ | `cv` | `5` | Folds used to cross-fit the latent indices that stage two consumes. `None` skips cross-fitting — see the warning below. |
29
+ | `n_quad` | `24` | Gauss-Legendre order for the orthant evaluator. Lower it if fitting with many outcomes gets slow. |
30
+ | `optimizer` | `"Nelder-Mead"` | Passed to `scipy.optimize.minimize` for `dependence="joint"`. Derivative-free by design. |
31
+ | `project_correlation` | `True` | Project a pairwise estimate onto the nearest positive-definite correlation matrix. No effect when `dependence="joint"`. |
32
+ | `random_state` | `None` | Controls the cross-fitting split and `sample`. |
33
+
34
+ > **`cv=None` is not a neutral speed-up.** In-sample margins drive every fitted
35
+ > correlation toward +1. It is defensible for the linear default and reckless
36
+ > for anything that can overfit. See
37
+ > [ifm.md](ifm.md#why-cross-fitting-is-required).
38
+
39
+ ### Attributes
40
+
41
+ | Name | Shape | Meaning |
42
+ | --- | --- | --- |
43
+ | `inner_models_` | list, length d | The fitted margins, one per outcome. |
44
+ | `correlation_` | (d, d) | The fitted Σ. |
45
+ | `eta_` | (n, d) | The (cross-fitted) latent indices stage two was fitted on. |
46
+ | `nll_` | float | Negative log-likelihood at the end of the dependence fit. Joint and pairwise fits optimise different objectives, so the values are not comparable across settings. |
47
+ | `optimize_result_` | OptimizeResult or None | The SciPy result for `dependence="joint"`. |
48
+ | `n_outcomes_`, `n_features_in_` | int | |
49
+
50
+ ### Methods
51
+
52
+ | Method | Returns | Notes |
53
+ | --- | --- | --- |
54
+ | `fit(X, Y, sample_weight=None)` | self | `Y` is (n, d) and strictly 0/1. Weights are forwarded to margins that accept them. |
55
+ | `decision_function(X)` / `transform(X)` | (n, d) | Latent indices η on (-∞, ∞). |
56
+ | `fit_transform(X, Y)` | (n, d) | |
57
+ | `predict_proba(X)` | `MultivariateProbitProba` | See below. |
58
+ | `predict_marginal_proba(X)` | (n, d) | Marginal probabilities as a plain array. |
59
+ | `predict(X, threshold=0.5)` | (n, d) | Per-outcome 0/1 at a marginal threshold. For a joint decision use `predict_proba(X).all()`. |
60
+ | `joint_proba(X, Y)` | (n,) | `P(Y = y | x)`. `Y` may be one pattern of length d, broadcast over rows, or an (n, d) array. |
61
+ | `joint_log_proba(X, Y)` | (n,) | |
62
+ | `score(X, Y, sample_weight=None)` | float | Mean joint log-likelihood. Higher is better. |
63
+ | `sample(X, n_samples=1, random_state=None)` | (n, d) or (n_samples, n, d) | Draws patterns from the fitted model. |
64
+ | `get_params` / `set_params` | | scikit-learn-style, without requiring scikit-learn. |
65
+
66
+ ## MultivariateProbitProba
67
+
68
+ Returned by `predict_proba`. Behaves like the (n, d) array of marginal
69
+ probabilities — `np.asarray(proba)`, `proba[i, j]`, `proba.shape`, `len(proba)`
70
+ — and additionally answers the joint questions Σ was estimated for.
71
+
72
+ | Member | Returns | Meaning |
73
+ | --- | --- | --- |
74
+ | `.marginal` | (n, d) | `P(Y_j = 1 | x)`. Does not involve Σ. |
75
+ | `.eta` | (n, d) | The latent indices behind it. |
76
+ | `.corr` | (d, d) | The Σ used for joint queries. |
77
+ | `.joint(pattern)` | (n,) | `P(Y = pattern | x)` for a fully specified 0/1 pattern. |
78
+ | `.all(outcomes=None)` | (n,) | `P(every selected outcome = 1 | x)`. |
79
+ | `.any(outcomes=None)` | (n,) | `P(at least one selected outcome = 1 | x)`. |
80
+ | `.none(outcomes=None)` | (n,) | `P(no selected outcome = 1 | x)`. |
81
+
82
+ `outcomes` takes a list of column indices, so "do these three co-occur" is a
83
+ one-liner.
84
+
85
+ ## Inner models
86
+
87
+ ### The contract
88
+
89
+ An inner model is anything with `fit(X, y)` and `latent(X) -> (n,)`, where
90
+ `latent` returns a real-valued index on the probit scale.
91
+
92
+ Estimators that do not expose `latent` are wrapped automatically by
93
+ `ProbitCalibrated`, which supplies it:
94
+
95
+ - if the estimator has `predict_proba`, `latent(X)` is `Φ⁻¹(p̂)`, clipped away
96
+ from 0 and 1;
97
+ - otherwise, if it has `decision_function`, that score is used as the index
98
+ as-is — which assumes it is already probit-scaled. Check that assumption
99
+ before relying on it.

+
101
+ ### Presets
102
+
103
+ | Name | Aliases | Estimator | Requires |
104
+ | --- | --- | --- | --- |
105
+ | `linear` | `probit` | `ProbitRegressor` (native IRLS) | — |
106
+ | `xgboost` | `xgb` | `XGBClassifier`, defaults tuned for calibration rather than ranking | `xgboost` |
107
+ | `rf` | `random_forest` | `RandomForestClassifier` | `scikit-learn` |
108
+
109
+ The registry is deliberately thin. Under IFM there is no per-family estimation
110
+ logic — the presets differ only in which pre-wired instance stage one fits — so
111
+ a preset is a factory function and nothing more.
112
+
113
+ ### Registry functions
114
+
115
+ | Function | Purpose |
116
+ | --- | --- |
117
+ | `available_inners()` | Sorted preset names. |
118
+ | `make_inner(name, **kwargs)` | Instantiate a preset, forwarding kwargs to the estimator. |
119
+ | `register_inner(name, factory, overwrite=False)` | Add a preset. `factory(**kwargs)` returns a fresh estimator. |
120
+ | `as_inner(spec, **kwargs)` | Coerce a name, factory, class, or instance into an unfitted inner model. |
121
+
122
+ ### Mixing models per outcome
123
+
124
+ ```python
125
+ MultivariateProbit(inner=["linear", "xgboost", "linear"])
126
+ MultivariateProbit(inner=["linear", make_inner("xgboost", max_depth=2)])
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ ## ProbitRegressor
130
+
131
+ The default margin, usable on its own as a binary classifier.
132
+
133
+ ```python
134
+ ProbitRegressor(alpha=1e-6, fit_intercept=True, max_iter=100, tol=1e-8)
135
+ ```
136
+
137
+ `alpha` is an L2 penalty on the slopes only, never the intercept. Exposes
138
+ `coef_`, `intercept_`, `n_iter_`, `classes_`, and `fit` / `latent` /
139
+ `decision_function` / `predict_proba` / `predict`.
140
+
141
+ ## Lower-level functions
142
+
143
+ Exported for callers who want the pieces without the estimator.
144
+
145
+ | Function | Purpose |
146
+ | --- | --- |
147
+ | `bvn_cdf(a, b, rho)` | Φ_2, vectorised, correlations may vary by row. |
148
+ | `mvn_orthant(A, corr_stack)` | Φ_d with a per-row correlation stack. |
149
+ | `orthant_prob(upper, corr)` | Φ_d with one shared correlation matrix. |
150
+ | `pattern_prob(eta, Y, corr)` | `P(Y = y | x)` via the sign trick. |
151
+ | `pairwise_correlation(eta, Y, ...)` | Stage two, composite likelihood. |
152
+ | `joint_correlation(eta, Y, ...)` | Stage two, full likelihood. Returns `(corr, result)`. |
153
+ | `pair_log_likelihood(rho, ...)` | Bivariate probit log-likelihood in ρ. |
154
+ | `joint_log_likelihood(corr, eta, Y, ...)` | d-variate log-likelihood in Σ. |
