Sequentially adding new points to a kriging

In this example, we show how to sequentially add new points to a kriging in order to improve the predictivity of the metamodel. In order to create simple graphics, we consider a 1D function.

Create the function and the design of experiments

import openturns as ot
from openturns.viewer import View
import numpy as np
import openturns.viewer as viewer
from matplotlib import pylab as plt
ot.Log.Show(ot.Log.NONE)
sampleSize = 4
dimension = 1

Define the function.

g = ot.SymbolicFunction(['x'], ['0.5*x^2 + sin(2.5*x)'])

Create the design of experiments.

xMin = -0.9
xMax = 1.9
X_distr = ot.Uniform(xMin, xMax)
X = ot.LHSExperiment(X_distr, sampleSize, False, False).generate()
Y = g(X)
graph = g.draw(xMin, xMax)
data = ot.Cloud(X, Y)
data.setColor("red")
graph.add(data)
view = viewer.View(graph)
y0 as a function of x

Create the algorithms

def createMyBasicKriging(X, Y):
    '''
    Create a kriging from a pair of X and Y samples.
    We use a 3/2 Matérn covariance model and a constant trend.
    '''
    basis = ot.ConstantBasisFactory(dimension).build()
    covarianceModel = ot.MaternModel([1.0], 1.5)
    algo = ot.KrigingAlgorithm(X, Y, covarianceModel, basis)
    algo.run()
    krigResult = algo.getResult()
    return krigResult
def linearSample(xmin, xmax, npoints):
    '''Returns a sample created from a regular grid
    from xmin to xmax with npoints points.'''
    step = (xmax-xmin)/(npoints-1)
    rg = ot.RegularGrid(xmin, step, npoints)
    vertices = rg.getVertices()
    return vertices
def plot_kriging_bounds(vLow, vUp, n_test):
    '''
    From two lists containing the lower and upper bounds of the region,
    create a PolygonArray.
    '''
    palette = ot.Drawable.BuildDefaultPalette(2)
    myPaletteColor = palette[1]
    polyData = [[vLow[i], vLow[i+1], vUp[i+1], vUp[i]]
                for i in range(n_test-1)]
    polygonList = [ot.Polygon(
        polyData[i], myPaletteColor, myPaletteColor) for i in range(n_test-1)]
    boundsPoly = ot.PolygonArray(polygonList)
    boundsPoly.setLegend("95% bounds")
    return boundsPoly

The following sqrt function will be used later to compute the standard deviation from the variance.

sqrt = ot.SymbolicFunction(["x"], ["sqrt(x)"])
def plotMyBasicKriging(krigResult, xMin, xMax, X, Y, level=0.95):
    '''
    Given a kriging result, plot the data, the kriging metamodel
    and a confidence interval.
    '''
    samplesize = X.getSize()
    meta = krigResult.getMetaModel()
    graphKriging = meta.draw(xMin, xMax)
    graphKriging.setLegends(["Kriging"])
    # Create a grid of points and evaluate the function and the kriging
    nbpoints = 50
    xGrid = linearSample(xMin, xMax, nbpoints)
    yFunction = g(xGrid)
    yKrig = meta(xGrid)
    # Compute the conditional covariance
    epsilon = ot.Sample(nbpoints, [1.e-8])
    conditionalVariance = krigResult.getConditionalMarginalVariance(
        xGrid)+epsilon
    conditionalSigma = sqrt(conditionalVariance)
    # Compute the quantile of the Normal distribution
    alpha = 1-(1-level)/2
    quantileAlpha = ot.DistFunc.qNormal(alpha)
    # Graphics of the bounds
    epsilon = 1.e-8
    dataLower = [yKrig[i, 0] - quantileAlpha * conditionalSigma[i, 0]
                 for i in range(nbpoints)]
    dataUpper = [yKrig[i, 0] + quantileAlpha * conditionalSigma[i, 0]
                 for i in range(nbpoints)]
    # Coordinates of the vertices of the Polygons
    vLow = [[xGrid[i, 0], dataLower[i]] for i in range(nbpoints)]
    vUp = [[xGrid[i, 0], dataUpper[i]] for i in range(nbpoints)]
    # Compute the Polygon graphics
    boundsPoly = plot_kriging_bounds(vLow, vUp, nbpoints)
    boundsPoly.setLegend("95% bounds")
    # Validate the kriging metamodel
    mmv = ot.MetaModelValidation(xGrid, yFunction, meta)
    Q2 = mmv.computePredictivityFactor()[0]
    # Plot the function
    graphFonction = ot.Curve(xGrid, yFunction)
    graphFonction.setLineStyle("dashed")
    graphFonction.setColor("magenta")
    graphFonction.setLineWidth(2)
    graphFonction.setLegend("Function")
    # Draw the X and Y observed
    cloudDOE = ot.Cloud(X, Y)
    cloudDOE.setPointStyle("circle")
    cloudDOE.setColor("red")
    cloudDOE.setLegend("Data")
    # Assemble the graphics
    graph = ot.Graph()
    graph.add(boundsPoly)
    graph.add(graphFonction)
    graph.add(cloudDOE)
    graph.add(graphKriging)
    graph.setLegendPosition("bottomright")
    graph.setAxes(True)
    graph.setGrid(True)
    graph.setTitle("Size = %d, Q2=%.2f%%" % (samplesize, 100*Q2))
    graph.setXTitle("X")
    graph.setYTitle("Y")
    return graph

We start by creating the initial kriging metamodel on the 4 points in the design of experiments.

krigResult = createMyBasicKriging(X, Y)
graph = plotMyBasicKriging(krigResult, xMin, xMax, X, Y)
view = viewer.View(graph)
Size = 4, Q2=96.34%

Sequentially add new points

The following function is the building block of the algorithm. It returns a new point which maximizes the conditional variance.

def getNewPoint(xMin, xMax, krigResult):
    '''
    Returns a new point to be added to the design of experiments.
    This point maximizes the conditional variance of the kriging.
    '''
    nbpoints = 50
    xGrid = linearSample(xMin, xMax, nbpoints)
    conditionalVariance = krigResult.getConditionalMarginalVariance(xGrid)
    iMaxVar = int(np.argmax(conditionalVariance))
    xNew = xGrid[iMaxVar, 0]
    xNew = ot.Point([xNew])
    return xNew
krigingStep = 0

We first call getNewPoint to get a point to add to the design of experiments.

xNew = getNewPoint(xMin, xMax, krigResult)
xNew

[-0.9]



Then we evaluate the function on the new point and add it to the training design of experiments.

yNew = g(xNew)
X.add(xNew)
Y.add(yNew)

We now plot the updated kriging.

sphinx_gallery_thumbnail_number = 3

krigResult = createMyBasicKriging(X, Y)
krigingStep += 1
myTitle = "Krigeage #%d" % (krigingStep+1)
graph = plotMyBasicKriging(krigResult, xMin, xMax, X, Y)
view = viewer.View(graph)
Size = 5, Q2=97.30%

The algorithm added a point to the right bound of the domain.

for krigingStep in range(5):
    xNew = getNewPoint(xMin, xMax, krigResult)
    yNew = g(xNew)
    X.add(xNew)
    Y.add(yNew)
    krigResult = createMyBasicKriging(X, Y)
    krigingStep += 1
    myTitle = "Krigeage #%d" % (krigingStep+1)
    graph = plotMyBasicKriging(krigResult, xMin, xMax, X, Y)
    View(graph)
  • Size = 6, Q2=98.80%
  • Size = 7, Q2=99.72%
  • Size = 8, Q2=99.81%
  • Size = 9, Q2=99.89%
  • Size = 10, Q2=99.90%

We observe that the second added point is the left bound of the domain. The remaining points were added strictly inside the domain where the accuracy was drastically improved.

With only 10 points, the metamodel accuracy is already very good with a Q2 which is equal to 99.9%.
