class AggregatedProcess(*args)

Aggregation of several processes in one process.

Available constructor:

AggregatedProcess(collProc)

Parameters
collProcsequence of Process

Collection of processes which all have the same input dimension.

Notes

If we note X_i: \Omega \times\cD_i \mapsto \Rset^{d_i} for 0 \leq i \leq N the collection of processes, where \cD_i \in \Rset^n for all i. Then the resulting aggregated process Y: \Omega \times\cD_0 \mapsto \Rset^d where d=\sum_{i=0}^N d_i. The mesh of the first process X_0 has been assigned to the process Y.

Examples

Create an aggregated process:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> myMesher = ot.IntervalMesher(ot.Indices([5,10]))
>>> lowerbound = [0.0, 0.0]
>>> upperBound = [2.0, 4.0]
>>> myInterval = ot.Interval(lowerbound, upperBound)
>>> myMesh = myMesher.build(myInterval)
>>> myProcess1 = ot.WhiteNoise(ot.Normal(), myMesh)
>>> myProcess2 = ot.WhiteNoise(ot.Triangular(), myMesh)
>>> myAggregatedProcess = ot.AggregatedProcess([myProcess1, myProcess2])

Draw one realization:

>>> myGraph = myAggregatedProcess.getRealization().drawMarginal(0)

Parameters
stepNumberint, N \geq 0

Number of future steps.

sizeint, size \geq 0, optional

Number of futures needed. Default is 1.

Returns
predictionProcessSample or TimeSeries

N future iterations of the process. If size = 1, prediction is a TimeSeries. Otherwise, it is a ProcessSample.

getId()

Accessor to the object’s id.

idint

Internal unique identifier.

getInputDimension()

Get the dimension of the domain \cD.

Returns
nint

getMarginal(index)

getMarginal(indices)

Parameters
indexint

Index of the selected marginal process.

indicesIndices

List of indices of the selected marginal processes.

Notes

The selected marginal processes are extracted if the list of indices does not mingle the processes of the initial collection: take care to extract all the marginal processes process by process. For example, if X_0=(X_0^0, X_0^1), X_1=(X_1^0, X_1^1) and X_2=(X_2^0, X_2^1, X_2^2) then you can extract Indices([1,0,2,4,6]) but not Indices([1,2,0,4,6]).

getMesh()

meshMesh

Mesh over which the domain \cD is discretized.

getName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Parameters
nint, n \geq 0

Time grid of a process when the mesh associated to the process can be interpreted as a RegularGrid. We check if the vertices of the mesh are scalar and are regularly spaced in \Rset but we don’t check if the connectivity of the mesh is conform to the one of a regular grid (without any hole and composed of ordered instants).

Notes

A stochastic process is normal if all its finite dimensional joint distributions are normal, which means that for all k \in \Nset and I_k \in \Nset^*, with cardI_k=k, there is \vect{m}_1, \dots, \vect{m}_k \in \Rset^d and \mat{C}_{1,\dots,k}\in\mathcal{M}_{kd,kd}(\Rset) such that:

\Expect{\exp\left\{i\Tr{\vect{X}}_{I_k} \vect{U}_{k}  \right\}} =
\exp{\left\{i\Tr{\vect{U}}_{k}\vect{M}_{k}-\frac{1}{2}\Tr{\vect{U}}_{k}\mat{C}_{1,\dots,k}\vect{U}_{k}\right\}}

where \Tr{\vect{X}}_{I_k} = (\Tr{X}_{\vect{t}_1}, \hdots, \Tr{X}_{\vect{t}_k}), \\Tr{vect{U}}_{k} = (\Tr{\vect{u}}_{1}, \hdots, \Tr{\vect{u}}_{k}) and \Tr{\vect{M}}_{k} = (\Tr{\vect{m}}_{1}, \hdots, \Tr{\vect{m}}_{k}) and \mat{C}_{1,\dots,k} is the symmetric matrix:

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

A Gaussian process is entirely defined by its mean function m and its covariance function C (or correlation function R).

isStationary()

Test whether the process is stationary or not.

Returns
isStationarybool

True if the process is stationary.

Notes

A process X is stationary if its distribution is invariant by translation: \forall k \in \Nset, \forall (\vect{t}_1, \dots, \vect{t}_k) \in \cD, \forall \vect{h}\in \Rset^n, we have:

(X_{\vect{t}_1}, \dots, X_{\vect{t}_k})
\stackrel{\mathcal{D}}{=} (X_{\vect{t}_1+\vect{h}}, \dots, X_{\vect{t}_k+\vect{h}})
