Notes

The Strong Maximum Test helps to evaluate the quality of the design point $P^*$ resulting from the optimization algorithm launched for example by the Analytical class or its derived classes FORM and SORM. It checks whether the design point computed is :

the true design point, which means a global maximum point,
a strong design point, which means that there is no other local maximum located on the event boundary and which likelihood is slightly inferior to the design point one.

The Strong Maximum Test will sample the sphere centered on the origin of the standard space and of radius : $R = \beta_{HL} (1 + \tau \delta_{\varepsilon})$ with $\tau > 0$ , $\delta_{\varepsilon}=\sqrt{1 - 2 \frac{ln(\varepsilon)}{\beta_{HL}^2}} - 1$ and $\beta_{HL}$ the Hasofer-Lind reliability index.

The number $N$ of the simulations sampling the sphere of radius $R$ is determined to ensure that the test detects with a probability greater than $(1-q)$ any point of $\cD_f$ outside the design point vicinity which contribution to $P_f$ is not negligeable (i.e. which density value in the U-space is greater than $\varepsilon$ times the density value at the design point).

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> myFunction = ot.SymbolicFunction(['E', 'F', 'L', 'I'], ['-F*L^3/(3*E*I)'])
>>> myDistribution = ot.Normal([50.0, 1.0, 10.0, 5.0], [1.0]*4, ot.IdentityMatrix(4))
>>> vect = ot.RandomVector(myDistribution)
>>> output = ot.CompositeRandomVector(myFunction, vect)
>>> myEvent = ot.ThresholdEvent(output, ot.Less(), -3.0)
>>> # FORM analyse to get the design point
>>> myAlgo = ot.FORM(ot.AbdoRackwitz(), myEvent, [50.0, 1.0, 10.0, 5.0])
>>> myAlgo.run()
>>> FORMresult = myAlgo.getResult()
>>> designPoint = FORMresult.getStandardSpaceDesignPoint()
>>> # Strong Max Test
>>> myStandardEvent = ot.StandardEvent(myEvent)
>>> myTest = ot.StrongMaximumTest(myStandardEvent, designPoint, 0.15, 3, 0.99)
>>> myTest.run()
