MemoizeFunction

class MemoizeFunction(*args)

Function which keeps tracks of input and output.

When this function is evaluated, it calls the Function passed as argument, and store input and output Sample. It also has a caching behavior, enabled by default.

Parameters:
functionFunction

Delegate function

historyStrategyHistoryStrategy (optional)

Strategy used to store points, default is Full.

Notes

When the function passed as argument is a MemoizeFunction, its input and output history are copied into current instance. This allows one to retrieve this history from a Function object which is in fact a MemoizeFunction. Thus, if you create a MemoizeFunction from an unknown Function, it is better to call clearHistory(). The cache size is initialized by the value of the ResourceMap Cache-MaxSize entry.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> f = ot.SymbolicFunction('x', 'x^2')
>>> inputSample = ot.Sample([[1], [2], [3], [4]])
>>> f = ot.MemoizeFunction(f)
>>> outputSample = f(inputSample)

Retrieve input sample:

>>> print(f.getInputHistory())
0 : [ 1 ]
1 : [ 2 ]
2 : [ 3 ]
3 : [ 4 ]

Retrieve output sample:

>>> print(f.getOutputHistory())
0 : [  1 ]
1 : [  4 ]
2 : [  9 ]
3 : [ 16 ]

Notes

We note f: \Rset^n \rightarrow \Rset^p where \vect{x} = (x_1, \dots, x_n) and f(\vect{x}) = (f_1(\vect{x}), \dots, f_p(\vect{x})), with n\geq 1 and p\geq 1.

  • In the first usage:

Draws graph of the given 1D outputMarg marginal f_k: \Rset^n \rightarrow \Rset as a function of the given 1D inputMarg marginal with respect to the variation of x_i in the interval [x_i^{min}, x_i^{max}], when all the other components of \vect{x} are fixed to the corresponding components of the centralPoint \vect{c}. Then OpenTURNS draws the graph:

y = f_k^{(i)}(s)

for any s \in [x_i^{min}, x_i^{max}] where f_k^{(i)}(s) is defined by the equation:

f_k^{(i)}(s) = f_k(c_1, \dots, c_{i-1}, s,  c_{i+1} \dots, c_n).

  • In the second usage:

Draws the iso-curves of the given outputMarg marginal f_k as a function of the given 2D firstInputMarg and secondInputMarg marginals with respect to the variation of (x_i, x_j) in the interval [x_i^{min}, x_i^{max}] \times [x_j^{min}, x_j^{max}], when all the other components of \vect{x} are fixed to the corresponding components of the centralPoint \vect{c}. Then OpenTURNS draws the graph:

y = f_k^{(i,j)}(s, t)

for any (s, t) \in [x_i^{min}, x_i^{max}] \times [x_j^{min}, x_j^{max}] where f_k^{(i,j)} is defined by the equation:

f_k^{(i,j)}(s,t) = f_k(c_1, \dots, c_{i-1}, s, c_{i+1}, \dots, c_{j-1}, t,  c_{j+1} \dots, c_n).

  • In the third usage:

The same as the first usage but only for function f: \Rset \rightarrow \Rset.

  • In the fourth usage:

The same as the second usage but only for function f: \Rset^2 \rightarrow \Rset.
