getImportanceFactors(*args)¶

Accessor to the importance factors.

Parameters:

typeint, optional

When ot.AnalyticalResult.ELLIPTICAL, the importance factors are evaluated as the square of the co-factors of the design point in the elliptical space of the iso-probabilistic transformation (Y-space).
When ot.AnalyticalResult.CLASSICAL they are evaluated as the square of the co-factors of the design point in the U-space.
When ot.AnalyticalResult.PHYSICAL, the importance factors are evaluated as the square of the physical sensitivities.

By default type = ot.AnalyticalResult.ELLIPTICAL.

Returns:

factorsPointWithDescription: Sequence containing the importance factors with a description for each component.

Notes

If the importance factors are evaluated as the square of the co-factors of the design point in the U-space :

$\alpha_i^2 = \frac{(u_i^*)^2} {\beta_{HL}^2}$
If the importance factors are evaluated as the square of the co-factors of the design point in the Y-space :

$\alpha_i^2 = \frac{(y_i^*)^2} {\|\vect{y}^*\|^2}$

where

$Y^* = \left( \begin{array}{c} E^{-1}\circ F_1(X_1^*) \\ E^{-1}\circ F_2(X_2^*) \\ \vdots \\ E^{-1}\circ F_n(X_n^*) \end{array} \right)$

with $\vect{X}^*$ is the design point in the physical space and $E$ the univariate standard CDF of the elliptical space. In the case where the input distribution of $\vect{X}$ has an elliptical copula $C_E$ , then $E$ has the same type as $C_E$ . In the case where the input distribution of $\vect{X}$ has a copula $C$ which is not elliptical, then $E=\Phi$ where $\Phi$ is the CDF of the standard normal.
If the importance factors are evaluated as the square of the physical sensitivities :

$\alpha_i^2 = \displaystyle \frac{s_i^2}{{\|s\|}^2}$

where

$s_i = \displaystyle \frac{\partial \beta}{\partial x_i} (x^*) = \sum_{j=1}^n \frac{\partial \beta}{\partial u_i} \frac{\partial u_j}{\partial x_i} (x^*)$

getMeanPointInStandardEventDomain()¶

Accessor to the mean point in the standard event domain.

Returns:

meanPointPoint: Mean point in the standrad event domain.

Notes

This method is used in the context of the FORM approximation of the probability of an event. Let $\cD$ denote the standard event domain.

In the standard space, the transformed random vector $\vect{U}$ follows a spherical distribution. All the univariate marginals are identical. Let $E$ denote the CDF of any univariate marginal and $e$ its PDF.

Let $\vect{u}^*$ denote the design point in the standard space and $\beta_{HL}$ the associated Hasofer-Lind reliability index.

By symmetry in the standard space, the mean point in the standard event domain is computed as follows:

$\Expect{\vect{U}|\vect{U} \in \cD} = \Expect{\|\vect{U}\| | \|\vect{U}\| \geq \beta_{HL}} \vect{u}^* = \frac{1}{E(-\beta_{HL})} \left(\int_{\beta}^{+\infty} u e(u)\, \di{u} \right)\vect{u}^*$
