class Box(*args)

Box design of experiments.

Available constructor:

Box(levels)

Box(levels, bounds)

Parameters
levelssequence of int or float

Sequence specifying the number of intermediate points in each direction which regularly discretizes a pavement. In direction i, the points number is levels[i]+2.

boundsInterval

The bounds of the pavement If not specified, the bounds are set to the unit pavement [0,1]^n.

Notes

Box is a stratified design of experiments enabling to create a points grid by regularly discretizing a pavement with the number of intermediate points specified in each direction. The number of points generated is \prod_{i=1}^n (2+levels[i]).

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> # direction 1 will be discretized in with 4 intermediate points
>>> # and direction 2 with 2 intermediate points
>>> levels = [4, 2]
>>> # first component in [5,7], second in [6,9]
>>> bounds = ot.Interval([5.0, 6.0], [7.0, 9.0])
>>> myGrid = ot.Box(levels, bounds)
>>> mySample = myGrid.generate()

__init__(*args)
generate()

Generate points according to the type of the experiment.

Returns
sampleSample

The points which constitute the design of experiments. The sampling method is defined by the nature of the experiment.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> myExperiment = ot.Experiment(ot.MonteCarloExperiment(ot.Normal(2),5))
>>> print(myExperiment.generate())
