FunctionalBasisProcess¶

class FunctionalBasisProcess(*args)¶

Functional basis process.

Parameters:

distributionDistribution: The distribution of the random vector $\vect{A}=(A_1,\dots, A_K)$ .
basissequence of Function: Collection of deterministic functions.
meshMesh: Mesh $\cM$ over which the domain $\cD$ is discretized.

Notes

A functional basis process $X: \Omega \times\cD \mapsto \Rset^d$ where $\cD \in \Rset^n$ , writes:

$X(\omega,\vect{t})=\sum_{i=1}^K A_i(\omega)\phi_i(\vect{t}) \quad \forall \omega \in \Omega and \forall \vect{t} \in \cD$

with $\phi_i: \Rset^n \rightarrow \Rset^d$ for $1 \leq i \leq K$ and $\vect{A}=(A_1,\dots, A_K)$ a random vector of dimension $K$ .

Examples

Create the coefficients distribution:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> coefDist = ot.Normal([2]*2, [5]*2, ot.CorrelationMatrix(2))

Create a basis of functions:

>>> phi_1 = ot.SymbolicFunction(['t'], ['sin(t)'])
>>> phi_2 = ot.SymbolicFunction(['t'], ['cos(t)*cos(t)'])
>>> myBasis = ot.Basis([phi_1, phi_2])

Create a mesh:

>>> myMesh = ot.RegularGrid(0.0, 0.1, 10)

Create the functional basis process:

>>> myFBProcess = ot.FunctionalBasisProcess(coefDist, myBasis, myMesh)

realizationFunction

According to the process, the continuous realizations are built:

either using a dedicated functional model if it exists: e.g. a functional basis process.
or using an interpolation from a discrete realization of the process on $\cM$ : in dimension $d=1$ , a linear interpolation and in dimension $d \geq 2$ , a piecewise constant function (the value at a given position is equal to the value at the nearest vertex of the mesh of the process).

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:

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