Exploitation of simulation algorithm resultsΒΆ

In this example we are going to retrieve all the results proposed by probability simulation algorithms:

  • the probability estimate

  • the estimator variance

  • the confidence interval

  • the convergence graph of the estimator

  • the stored input and output numerical samples

  • importance factors

from __future__ import print_function
import openturns as ot
import openturns.viewer as viewer
from matplotlib import pylab as plt
ot.Log.Show(ot.Log.NONE)

Create the joint distribution of the parameters.

distribution_R = ot.LogNormalMuSigma(300.0, 30.0, 0.0).getDistribution()
distribution_F = ot.Normal(75e3, 5e3)
marginals = [distribution_R, distribution_F]
distribution = ot.ComposedDistribution(marginals)

Create the model.

model = ot.SymbolicFunction(['R', 'F'], ['R-F/(pi_*100.0)'])
modelCallNumberBefore = model.getEvaluationCallsNumber()
modelGradientCallNumberBefore = model.getGradientCallsNumber()
modelHessianCallNumberBefore = model.getHessianCallsNumber()

To have access to the input and output samples after the simulation, activate the History mechanism.

model = ot.MemoizeFunction(model)

Remove all the values stored in the history mechanism. Care : it is done regardless the status of the History mechanism.

model.clearHistory()

Create the event whose probability we want to estimate.

vect = ot.RandomVector(distribution)
G = ot.CompositeRandomVector(model, vect)
event = ot.ThresholdEvent(G, ot.Less(), 0.0)

Create a Monte Carlo algorithm.

experiment = ot.MonteCarloExperiment()
algo = ot.ProbabilitySimulationAlgorithm(event, experiment)
algo.setMaximumCoefficientOfVariation(0.1)
algo.setMaximumStandardDeviation(0.001)
algo.setMaximumOuterSampling(int(1e4))

Define the HistoryStrategy to store the values of P_n and \sigma_n used ot draw the convergence graph. Compact strategy : N points

N = 1000
algo.setConvergenceStrategy(ot.Compact(N))
algo.run()

Retrieve result structure.

result = algo.getResult()

Display the variance of the simulation probability estimator.

result.getVarianceEstimate()

Criteria 2 : Display the number of iterations of the simulation

result.getOuterSampling()

Out:

3388

Display the total number of evaluations of the model

result.getOuterSampling() * result.getBlockSize()

Out:

3388

Save the number of calls to the model, its gradient and hessian done so far.

modelCallNumberAfter = model.getEvaluationCallsNumber()
modelGradientCallNumberAfter = model.getGradientCallsNumber()
modelHessianCallNumberAfter = model.getHessianCallsNumber()

Display the number of iterations executed and the number of evaluations of the model.

modelCallNumberAfter - modelCallNumberBefore

Out:

Get the mean point in event domain care : only for Monte Carlo and LHS sampling methods.

result.getMeanPointInEventDomain()

[245.234,80683.9]



Get the associated importance factors care : only for Monte Carlo and LHS sampling methods.

result.getImportanceFactors()

[X0 : 0.750364, X1 : 0.249636]



graph = result.drawImportanceFactors()
view = viewer.View(graph)
Importance Factors from Simulation - v0

Display the confidence interval length centered around the MonteCarlo probability. The confidence interval is

IC = [\tilde{p} - 0.5 \ell, \tilde{p} + 0.5 \ell]

with level 0.95, where \tilde{p} is the estimated probability and \ell is the confidence interval length.

probability = result.getProbabilityEstimate()
length95 = result.getConfidenceLength(0.95)
print("0.95 Confidence Interval length = ", length95)
print("IC at 0.95 = [", probability - 0.5*length95, "; ", probability + 0.5*length95, "]")

Out:

0.95 Confidence Interval length =  0.01128688164473903
IC at 0.95 = [ 0.023282179012341236 ;  0.034569060657080264 ]

Draw the convergence graph and the confidence interval of level alpha. By default, alpha = 0.95.

alpha = 0.90
graph = algo.drawProbabilityConvergence(alpha)
view = viewer.View(graph)
