ThresholdEvent¶

class ThresholdEvent(*args)¶

Random vector defined from a comparison operator and a threshold.

The event occurs when the realization of the underlying random vector exceeds the threshold.

Parameters:

antecedentRandomVector of dimension 1: Output variable of interest.
comparisonOperatorComparisonOperator: Comparison operator used to compare antecedent with threshold.
thresholdfloat: threshold we want to compare to antecedent.

Notes

An event is defined as follows:

$\cD_f = \{\vect{X} \in \Rset^n \, / \, g(\vect{X},\vect{d}) \le 0\}$

where $\vect{X}$ denotes a random input vector, representing the sources of uncertainties, $\vect{d}$ is a determinist vector, representing the fixed variables and $g(\vect{X},\vect{d})$ is the limit state function of the model. The probability content of the event $\cD_f$ is $P_f$ :

$P_f = \int_{g(\vect{X},\vect{d})\le 0}f_\vect{X}(\vect{x})\di{\vect{x}}$

Here, the event considered is explicited directly from the limit state function $g(\vect{X}\,,\,\vect{d})$ : this is the classical structural reliability formulation. However, if the event is a threshold exceedance, it is useful to explicite the variable of interest $Z=\tilde{g}(\vect{X}\,,\,\vect{d})$ , evaluated from the model $\tilde{g}(.)$ . In that case, the event considered, associated to the threshold $z_s$ has the formulation:

$\cD_f = \{ \vect{X} \in \Rset^n \, / \, Z=\tilde{g}(\vect{X}\,,\,\vect{d}) > z_s \}$

and the limit state function is:

$g(\vect{X}\,,\,\vect{d}) &= z_s - Z \\ &= z_s - \tilde{g}(\vect{X}\,,\,\vect{d})$

$P_f$ is the threshold exceedance probability, defined as:

$P_f &= P(Z \geq z_s) \\ &= \int_{g(\vect{X}, \vect{d}) \le 0} \pdf\di{\vect{x}}$

Notes

Let’s note $\vect{Y}=\Tr{(Y_1,\dots,Y_n)}$ a random vector and $I \in [1,n]$ a set of indices. If $\vect{Y}$ is a UsualRandomVector, the subvector is defined by $\tilde{\vect{Y}}=\Tr{(Y_i)}_{i \in I}$ . If $\vect{Y}$ is a CompositeRandomVector, defined by $\vect{Y}=f(\vect{X})$ with $f=(f_1,\dots,f_n)$ , $f_i$ some scalar functions, the subvector is $\tilde{\vect{Y}}=(f_i(\vect{X}))_{i \in I}$ .
