# ProcessSample¶

class ProcessSample(*args)

Collection of fields.

Available constructors:

ProcessSample(mesh, K, d)

ProcessSample(K, field)

Parameters: mesh : Mesh The mesh shared by all the fields in the collection. K : int Number of fields in the collection. d : int Dimension of the values of the field. field : Field One field.

Notes

A ProcessSample stores a sample of fields. We note K the number of fields contained in the process sample and d the dimension of the values associated to each vertex of the common mesh .

These fields can be generated by a stochastic process.

• In the first usage, we fix the common mesh with mesh, the number of fields contained in the sample with K and the dimension of the values with d. The values of the fields are by default fixed to zero.
• In the second usage, the collection of fields is filled with K copies of the given field field.

We note the value of the field k at the vertex i. We note N the number of vertices of , with and .

Examples

Create a bi dimensional mesh as a box:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> myIndices = [10, 5]
>>> myMesher = ot.IntervalMesher(myIndices)
>>> lowerBound = [0.0, 0.0]
>>> upperBound = [2.0, 1.0]
>>> myInterval = ot.Interval(lowerBound, upperBound)
>>> myMesh = myMesher.build(myInterval)


Create a second order normal porcess of dimension 3:

>>> amplitude = [5]
>>> scale = [3, 3]
>>> model = ot.ExponentialModel(scale, amplitude)
>>> myProcess = ot.GaussianProcess(model, myMesh)


Generate a sample of different fields:

>>> n = 10
>>> mySampleFields = myProcess.getSample(n)


Duplicate the same field:

>>> myField = myProcess.getRealization()
>>> n = 10
>>> mySampleFields2 = ot.ProcessSample(n, myField)


Methods

__init__(*args)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

add(*args)

Add a field to the collection.

Parameters: field : Field A new field to add. This field shares the same mesh and the same dimension as the other fields of the collection.
computeMean()

Compute the mean field of the collection of fields.

Returns: mean : Field The mean field has the same dimension d and the same mesh as the fields contained in the collection. At each vertex of the mesh, we calculate the mean of the values at this vertex of the K fields contained in the process sample:
computeQuantilePerComponent(*args)

Compute the temporal mean of the values of the fields.

Parameters: p : float, , or sequence of float Order of the quantile. quantile : This field has the same size and the same dimension as the fields of the collection. At each vertex of the mesh, we estimate the component-wise quantile of order p, using the empirical quantile.
computeSpatialMean()

Compute the spatial mean of the values of the fields.

Returns: spatialMean : Sample Its size is the number K of fields in the collection. Its dimension is d. The k numerical point is the spatial mean of the field k:
computeTemporalMean()

Compute the temporal mean of the values of the fields.

Returns: spatialMean : Sample Its size is the number K of fields in the collection. Its dimension is d. The k numerical point is the temporal mean of the field k: This method can be used only when the mesh can be interpreted as a regular grid.
drawMarginal(index=0, interpolate=True)

Draw the selected field.

Parameters: indice : int Index of the field that is drawn in the graph. interpolate : bool (optional, default=True) Whether to draw interpolated values. graph : Graph The graph of the selected field using the interpolate method.
getClassName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns: class_name : str The object class name (object.__class__.__name__).
getDimension()

Get the dimension of the values of fields.

Returns: d : int Dimension of the values of the fields.
getId()

Accessor to the object’s id.

Returns: id : int Internal unique identifier.
getImplementation(*args)

Accessor to the underlying implementation.

Returns: impl : Implementation The implementation class.
getMarginal(*args)

Marginal sample accessor.

Parameters: indice : int or sequence of int Index of the marginals. sample : ProcessSample The marginal sample.
getMesh()

Get the mesh of the fields.

Returns: mesh : Mesh The mesh shared by all the fields of the collection.
getName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns: name : str The name of the object.
getSize()

Get the size of the collection of fields.

Returns: K : int Number of fields in the collection.
getTimeGrid()

Get the time grid of the fields.

Returns: mesh : RegularGrid The time grid shared by all the fields of the collection. Can be used only if the mesh can be interpreted as a regular time grid.
setName(name)

Accessor to the object’s name.

Parameters: name : str The name of the object.
