IsotropicCovarianceModel¶

class IsotropicCovarianceModel(*args)¶

Isotropic covariance kernel.

IsotropicCovarianceModel(oneDimensionalKernel, inputDimension)

Parameters

oneDimensionalKernelCovarianceModel: This kernel must be stationary. Its input and output dimensions must be 1.
inputDimensionint, $n > 0$: Dimension $n$ of the input points taken by the isotropic covariance model.

Notes

Let $k$ be a stationary CovarianceModel with both input and output dimension equal to 1: $k : \Rset \rightarrow \Rset$ .

For any positive integer $n$ , the corresponding IsotropicCovarianceModel with inputDimension equal to $n$ is defined as the function $K : \Rset^n \rightarrow \Rset$ such that for any $\vect{\tau} \in \Rset^n$ :

$K(\vect{\tau}) = k \left( \| \vect{\tau} \| \right)$

Usually, the one-dimensional covariance kernel $k$ depends on parameters (scale, amplitude, …). The corresponding isotropic covariance kernel $K$ has the same parameters.

Examples

Create a 2-dimensional isotropic covariance kernel from a one-dimensional squared exponential covariance kernel.

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> inputDimension = 2

The parameters of the isotropic covariance kernel are those of the one-dimensional kernel.

>>> se = ot.SquaredExponential([0.5], [2.5])
>>> iso = ot.IsotropicCovarianceModel(se, inputDimension)

Alternatively, parameters can be defined after construction.

>>> iso = ot.IsotropicCovarianceModel(ot.SquaredExponential(), inputDimension)
>>> iso.setScale([0.5])
>>> iso.setAmplitude([2.5])

A copy of the underlying one-dimensional kernel can be retrieved.

>>> kernel = iso.getKernel()

An isotropic covariance kernel can also be directly created using a multi-dimensional covariance model. We only need to set all scale values to the same number.

>>> alteriso = ot.SquaredExponential([0.5] * inputDimension, [2.5])
>>> print(iso([0.7, 1.5]))
[[ 0.0260583 ]]
>>> print(alteriso([0.7, 1.5]))
[[ 0.0260583 ]]

The difference is that, in case parameters need to be optimized, the class IsotropicCovarianceModel enforces isotropy because it naturally only uses one scale parameter.

>>> print(iso.getScale())
[0.5]
>>> print(alteriso.getScale())
[0.5,0.5]

__init__(*args)¶: Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

computeAsScalar(*args)¶

Compute the covariance function for scalar model.

Available usages:

computeAsScalar(s, t)

computeAsScalar(tau)

Parameters

s, tfloats (if $n=1$ ) or sequences of floats (any $n$ ): Multivariate index $(\vect{s}, \vect{t}) \in \cD \times \cD$
taufloat (if $n=1$ ) or sequence of floats (any $n$ ): Multivariate index $\vect{\tau} \in \cD$

Returns

covariancefloat: Covariance.

Notes

The method makes sense only if the dimension of the process is $d=1$ . It evaluates $C(\vect{s}, \vect{t})$ .

In the second usage, the covariance model must be stationary. Then we note $C^{stat}(\vect{\tau})$ for $C(\vect{s}, \vect{s}+\vect{\tau})$ as this quantity does not depend on $\vect{s}$ .

Parameters

whereMesh or RegularGrid or Sample: Container of the discretization vertices

Returns

covarianceMatrixCovarianceMatrix: Covariance matrix $\in \cS_{nd}^+(\Rset)$ (if the process is of dimension $d$ )

Notes

This method makes a discretization of the model on the given Mesh, RegularGrid or Sample composed of the vertices $(\vect{t}_1, \dots, \vect{t}_{N-1})$ and returns the covariance matrix:

$\mat{C}_{1,\dots,k} = \left( \begin{array}{cccc} C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_1) &C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_2) & \dots & C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_{k}) \\ \dots & C(\vect{t}_2, \vect{t}_2) & \dots & C(\vect{t}_2, \vect{t}_{k}) \\ \dots & \dots & \dots & \dots \\ \dots & \dots & \dots & C(\vect{t}_{k}, \vect{t}_{k}) \end{array} \right)$

Notes

This method makes a discretization of the model on the given Mesh, RegularGrid or Sample composed of the vertices $(\vect{t}_1, \dots, \vect{t}_{N-1})$ thanks to the discretize() method and returns its Cholesky factor.

Notes

This method is similar to the discretizeAndFactorize() method. This method requires that requires that OpenTURNS has been compiled with the hmat library. The method is helpful for very large parameters (Mesh, grid, Sample) because it compresses data.

discretizeHMatrix(*args)¶
