Notes

LinearLeastSquaresCalibration is the minimum variance estimator of the parameter of a given model under the assumption that this parameter acts linearly in the model.

The prior distribution of the parameter is a noninformative prior emulated using a flat Normal centered on the startingPoint and with a variance equal to SpecFunc.MaxScalar.

The posterior distribution of the parameter is Normal and reflects the variability of the optimum parameter depending on the observation sample. The associated covariance matrix may be regularized depending on the value of the key LinearLeastSquaresCalibration-Regularization in the ResourceMap. Let us denote by \sigma_1 the largest singular value of the covariance matrix. The default value of the LinearLeastSquaresCalibration-Regularization, zero, ensures that the singular values of the covariance matrix are left unmodified. If this parameter is set to a nonzero, relatively small, value denoted by \epsilon, then all singular values of the covariance matrix are increased by \epsilon \sigma_1.

The resulting distribution of the output error is Normal with a zero mean and a diagonal covariance matrix computed from the residuals. The residuals are computed based on the linearization of the model, where the Jacobian matrix is evaluated at the startingPoint. The diagonal of the covariance matrix of the output error is constant and is estimated with the unbiased variance estimator.

Examples

Calibrate a nonlinear model using linear least-squares:

>>> 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)
>>> startingPoint = [1.0]*3
>>> method = 'SVD'
>>> algo = ot.LinearLeastSquaresCalibration(modelX, x, y, startingPoint, method)
>>> algo.run()
>>> print(algo.getResult().getParameterMAP())
