LowDiscrepancyExperiment(size, restart)
LowDiscrepancyExperiment(sequence, size, restart)

LowDiscrepancySequence
Sequence of points with low discrepancy. If not specified, the sequence is a
SobolSequence
.- distribution
Distribution
Distribution of dimension . The low discrepancy sequence is uniformly distributed over . We use an iso-probabilistic transformation from the independent copula of dimension to the given distribution. The weights are all equal to .
- restartbool
Flag to tell if the low discrepancy sequence must be restarted from its initial state at each change of distribution or not. Default is True: the sequence is restarted at each change of distribution.

Notes
The
generate()
method generates points according to the distribution . When thegenerate()
method is called again, the generated sample changes. In case of dependent marginals, the approach based on [cambou2017] is used.Examples
>>> import openturns as ot >>> distribution = ot.JointDistribution([ot.Uniform(0.0, 1.0)] * 2)
Generate the sample with a reinitialization of the sequence at each change of distribution:
>>> experiment = ot.LowDiscrepancyExperiment(ot.SobolSequence(), distribution, 5, True) >>> print(experiment.generate()) [ y0 y1 ] 0 : [ 0.5 0.5 ] 1 : [ 0.75 0.25 ] 2 : [ 0.25 0.75 ] 3 : [ 0.375 0.375 ] 4 : [ 0.875 0.875 ] >>> print(experiment.generate()) [ y0 y1 ] 0 : [ 0.625 0.125 ] 1 : [ 0.125 0.625 ] 2 : [ 0.1875 0.3125 ] 3 : [ 0.6875 0.8125 ] 4 : [ 0.9375 0.0625 ] >>> experiment.setDistribution(distribution) >>> print(experiment.generate()) [ y0 y1 ] 0 : [ 0.5 0.5 ] 1 : [ 0.75 0.25 ] 2 : [ 0.25 0.75 ] 3 : [ 0.375 0.375 ] 4 : [ 0.875 0.875 ]
Generate the sample keeping the previous state of the sequence at each change of distribution:
>>> experiment = ot.LowDiscrepancyExperiment(ot.SobolSequence(), distribution, 5, False) >>> print(experiment.generate()) [ y0 y1 ] 0 : [ 0.5 0.5 ] 1 : [ 0.75 0.25 ] 2 : [ 0.25 0.75 ] 3 : [ 0.375 0.375 ] 4 : [ 0.875 0.875 ] >>> print(experiment.generate()) [ y0 y1 ] 0 : [ 0.625 0.125 ] 1 : [ 0.125 0.625 ] 2 : [ 0.1875 0.3125 ] 3 : [ 0.6875 0.8125 ] 4 : [ 0.9375 0.0625 ] >>> experiment.setDistribution(distribution) >>> print(experiment.generate()) [ y0 y1 ] 0 : [ 0.4375 0.5625 ] 1 : [ 0.3125 0.1875 ] 2 : [ 0.8125 0.6875 ] 3 : [ 0.5625 0.4375 ] 4 : [ 0.0625 0.9375 ]
Generate a sample according to a distribution with dependent marginals:
>>> distribution = ot.Normal([0.0]*2, ot.CovarianceMatrix(2, [4.0, 1.0, 1.0, 9.0])) >>> experiment = ot.LowDiscrepancyExperiment(ot.SobolSequence(), distribution, 5, False) >>> print(experiment.generate()) [ y0 y1 ] 0 : [ 0 0 ] 1 : [ 1.34898 -1.65792 ] 2 : [ -1.34898 1.65792 ] 3 : [ -0.637279 -1.10187 ] 4 : [ 2.3007 3.97795 ]
