PostAnalyticalControlledImportanceSampling¶

class PostAnalyticalControlledImportanceSampling(*args)¶

Post analytical controlled importance sampling.

Simulation method where the original distribution is replaced by the distribution in the standard space centered around the provided design point and is controlled by the value of the linearized limit state function.

Parameters:

analyticalResultAnalyticalResult: Result which contains the whole information on the analytical study performed before the simulation study: in particular, the standard distribution of the standard space and the standard space design point.

Returns:

idint: Internal unique identifier.

setBlockSize, setMaximumOuterSampling, ResourceMap, SimulationResult

Notes

It launches the simulation and creates a SimulationResult, structure containing all the results obtained after simulation. It computes the probability of occurrence of the given event by computing the empirical mean of a sample of size at most outerSampling * blockSize, this sample being built by blocks of size blockSize. It allows one to use efficiently the distribution of the computation as well as it allows one to deal with a sample size $> 2^{32}$ by a combination of blockSize and outerSampling.

setBlockSize(blockSize)¶

Accessor to the block size.

Parameters:

blockSizeint, $blockSize \geq 1$: Number of terms in the probability simulation estimator grouped together. It is set by default to 1.

Notes

For Monte Carlo, LHS and Importance Sampling methods, this allows one to save space while allowing multithreading, when available we recommend to use the number of available CPUs; for the Directional Sampling, we recommend to set it to 1.

Parameters:

storage_strategyHistoryStrategy: Storage strategy used to store the values of the probability estimator and its variance during the simulation algorithm.
