Notes

This class implements the Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimator for a nonlinear model under the Bayesian hypothesis that the prior and the observation errors have Gaussian distributions. This algorithm is also known as 3DVAR.

The given observation error covariance can be either local, i.e. the same matrix applies for each observation and is of dimension the output dimension of the model, or global, i.e. the matrix describes the full set of observation errors, in which case its dimension is the product of the output dimension of the model and the number of observations.

The prior distribution of the parameter is Normal.

The posterior distribution of the parameter is also Normal.

Depending on the value of the GaussianNonLinearCalibration-BootstrapSize key in the ResourceMap, the parameters are estimated differently.

If GaussianNonLinearCalibration-BootstrapSize is set to a nonzero positive integer, then a bootstrap resampling of the observations is performed and the posterior distribution is based on a KernelSmoothing of the sample of boostrap optimum parameters.
If GaussianNonLinearCalibration-BootstrapSize is set to zero, then the posterior distribution is evaluated based on a linear approximation of the model at the optimum. This corresponds to using GaussianLinearCalibration at the optimum, and is named Laplace approximation in the Bayesian context.

The default value of GaussianNonLinearCalibration-BootstrapSize is nonzero, meaning that a bootstrap is used by default. This can be costly in some practical use cases, because it requires several runs of the optimization algorithm. In this case, please set the bootstrap size to zero.

The resulting error distribution is Normal with a mean estimated from the sample mean of the residuals and with a covariance matrix equal to the errorCovariance input argument.

Please read read Gaussian calibration for more details on Gaussian calibration.

Examples

Calibrate a nonlinear model using 3DVAR:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> m = 10
>>> x = [[0.5 + i] for i in range(m)]
>>> inVars = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'x']
>>> formulas = ['a + b * exp(c * x)']
>>> model = ot.SymbolicFunction(inVars, formulas)
>>> p_ref = [2.8, 1.2, 0.5]
>>> params = [0, 1, 2]
>>> modelX = ot.ParametricFunction(model, params, p_ref)
>>> y = modelX(x)
>>> y += ot.Normal(0.0, 0.05).getSample(m)
>>> parameterMean = [1.0]*3
>>> priorCovariance = ot.CovarianceMatrix(3)
>>> errorCovariance = ot.CovarianceMatrix(1, [0.1])
>>> algo = ot.GaussianNonLinearCalibration(modelX, x, y, parameterMean, priorCovariance, errorCovariance)
>>> algo.run()
>>> print(algo.getResult().getParameterMAP())
