class AggregatedProcess(*args)

Aggregation of several processes in one process.

Parameters:
collProcsequence of Process

Collection of processes which all have the same input dimension.

Notes

If we note X_i: \Omega \times\cD_i \mapsto \Rset^{d_i} for 0 \leq i \leq N the collection of processes, where \cD_i \in \Rset^n for all i. Then the resulting aggregated process Y: \Omega \times\cD_0 \mapsto \Rset^d where d=\sum_{i=0}^N d_i. The mesh of the first process X_0 has been assigned to the process Y.

Examples

Create an aggregated process:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> myMesher = ot.IntervalMesher([5, 10])
>>> lowerbound = [0.0, 0.0]
>>> upperBound = [2.0, 4.0]
>>> myInterval = ot.Interval(lowerbound, upperBound)
>>> myMesh = myMesher.build(myInterval)
>>> myProcess1 = ot.WhiteNoise(ot.Normal(), myMesh)
>>> myProcess2 = ot.WhiteNoise(ot.Triangular(), myMesh)
>>> myAggregatedProcess = ot.AggregatedProcess([myProcess1, myProcess2])

Draw one realization:

>>> myGraph = myAggregatedProcess.getRealization().drawMarginal(0)

__init__(*args)
getClassName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

The object class name (object.__class__.__name__).

Description of the process.

getFuture(*args)

Prediction of the N future iterations of the process.

Parameters:
stepNumberint, N \geq 0

Number of future steps.

sizeint, size \geq 0, optional

Number of futures needed. Default is 1.

Returns:
predictionProcessSample or TimeSeries

N future iterations of the process. If size = 1, prediction is a TimeSeries. Otherwise, it is a ProcessSample.

getInputDimension()

Get the dimension of the domain \cD.

Returns:
nint

Dimension of the domain \cD: n.

getMarginal(*args)

Accessor the marginal processes.

Available usages:

getMarginal(index)

getMarginal(indices)

Parameters:
indexint

Index of the selected marginal process.

indicesIndices

List of indices of the selected marginal processes.

Notes

The selected marginal processes are extracted if the list of indices does not mingle the processes of the initial collection: take care to extract all the marginal processes process by process. For example, if X_0=(X_0^0, X_0^1), X_1=(X_1^0, X_1^1) and X_2=(X_2^0, X_2^1, X_2^2) then you can extract Indices([1,0,2,4,6]) but not Indices([1,2,0,4,6]).

getMesh()

Get the mesh.

Returns:
meshMesh

Mesh over which the domain \cD is discretized.

getName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns:
namestr

The name of the object.

getOutputDimension()

Get the dimension of the domain \cD.

Returns:
dint

Dimension of the domain \cD.

getSample(size)

Get n realizations of the process.

Parameters:
nint, n \geq 0

getTimeGrid()

Get the time grid of observation of the process.

Returns:
timeGridRegularGrid

Time grid of a process when the mesh associated to the process can be interpreted as a RegularGrid. We check if the vertices of the mesh are scalar and are regularly spaced in \Rset but we don’t check if the connectivity of the mesh is conform to the one of a regular grid (without any hole and composed of ordered instants).

Accessor to the trend.

Returns:
trendTrendTransform

Trend, if any.

hasName()

Test if the object is named.

Returns:
hasNamebool

True if the name is not empty.

Returns:
isCompositebool

True if the process is composite (built upon a function and a process).

isNormal()

Test whether the process is normal or not.

Returns:
isNormalbool

True if the process is normal.

Notes

A stochastic process is normal if all its finite dimensional joint distributions are normal, which means that for all k \in \Nset and I_k \in \Nset^*, with cardI_k=k, there is \vect{m}_1, \dots, \vect{m}_k \in \Rset^d and \mat{C}_{1,\dots,k}\in\mathcal{M}_{kd,kd}(\Rset) such that:

\Expect{\exp\left\{i\Tr{\vect{X}}_{I_k} \vect{U}_{k}  \right\}} =
\exp{\left\{i\Tr{\vect{U}}_{k}\vect{M}_{k}-\frac{1}{2}\Tr{\vect{U}}_{k}\mat{C}_{1,\dots,k}\vect{U}_{k}\right\}}

where \Tr{\vect{X}}_{I_k} = (\Tr{X}_{\vect{t}_1}, \hdots, \Tr{X}_{\vect{t}_k}), \\Tr{vect{U}}_{k} = (\Tr{\vect{u}}_{1}, \hdots, \Tr{\vect{u}}_{k}) and \Tr{\vect{M}}_{k} = (\Tr{\vect{m}}_{1}, \hdots, \Tr{\vect{m}}_{k}) and \mat{C}_{1,\dots,k} is the symmetric matrix:

\mat{C}_{1,\dots,k} = \left(
\begin{array}{cccc}
  C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_1) &C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_2) & \hdots & C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_{k}) \\
  \hdots & C(\vect{t}_2, \vect{t}_2)  & \hdots & C(\vect{t}_2, \vect{t}_{k}) \\
  \hdots & \hdots & \hdots & \hdots \\
  \hdots & \hdots & \hdots & C(\vect{t}_{k}, \vect{t}_{k})
\end{array}
\right)

A Gaussian process is entirely defined by its mean function m and its covariance function C (or correlation function R).

isStationary()

Test whether the process is stationary or not.

Returns:
isStationarybool

True if the process is stationary.

Notes

A process X is stationary if its distribution is invariant by translation: \forall k \in \Nset, \forall (\vect{t}_1, \dots, \vect{t}_k) \in \cD, \forall \vect{h}\in \Rset^n, we have:

(X_{\vect{t}_1}, \dots, X_{\vect{t}_k})
\stackrel{\mathcal{D}}{=} (X_{\vect{t}_1+\vect{h}}, \dots, X_{\vect{t}_k+\vect{h}})

setTimeGrid(timeGrid)

Set the time grid of observation of the process.

timeGridRegularGrid

Time grid of observation of the process when the mesh associated to the process can be interpreted as a RegularGrid. We check if the vertices of the mesh are scalar and are regularly spaced in \Rset but we don’t check if the connectivity of the mesh is conform to the one of a regular grid (without any hole and composed of ordered instants).
