Notes

FixedExperiment is a deterministic weighted design of experiments. It enables to take into account a random sample which has been obtained outside the study or at another step of the study. The generate() method always gives the same sample, aSample, if it is recalled. When not specified, the weights associated to the points are all equal to 1/cardI. Then the sample aSample is considered as generated from the limit distribution \lim\limits_{cardI \to \infty} \sum_{i \in I} \omega_i \delta_{\vect{X}_i}=\mu. The setDistribution() method has no side effect, as the distribution is fixed by the initial sample.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> sample = [[i,i+1] for i in range(5)]
>>> experiment = ot.FixedExperiment(sample)
>>> print(experiment.generate())
0 : [ 0 1 ]
1 : [ 1 2 ]
2 : [ 2 3 ]
3 : [ 3 4 ]
4 : [ 4 5 ]

__init__(*args)
generate()

Generate points according to the type of the experiment.

Returns:
sampleSample

Points (\Xi_i)_{i \in I} which constitute the design of experiments with card I = size. The sampling method is defined by the nature of the weighted experiment.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> myExperiment = ot.MonteCarloExperiment(ot.Normal(2), 5)
>>> sample = myExperiment.generate()
>>> print(sample)
    [ X0        X1        ]
0 : [  0.608202 -1.26617  ]
1 : [ -0.438266  1.20548  ]
2 : [ -2.18139   0.350042 ]
3 : [ -0.355007  1.43725  ]
4 : [  0.810668  0.793156 ]
generateWithWeights()

Generate points and their associated weight 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.

weightsPoint of size cardI

Weights (\omega_i)_{i \in I} associated with the points. By default, all the weights are equal to 1/cardI.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> myExperiment = ot.MonteCarloExperiment(ot.Normal(2), 5)
>>> sample, weights = myExperiment.generateWithWeights()
>>> print(sample)
    [ X0        X1        ]
0 : [  0.608202 -1.26617  ]
1 : [ -0.438266  1.20548  ]
2 : [ -2.18139   0.350042 ]
3 : [ -0.355007  1.43725  ]
4 : [  0.810668  0.793156 ]
>>> print(weights)
