Notes

The squared exponential function is a stationary covariance function with dimension $d=1$ .

We consider the scalar stochastic process $X: \Omega \times\cD \mapsto \Rset$ , where $\omega \in \Omega$ is an event, $\cD$ is a domain of $\Rset^n$ .

The squared exponential function is defined by:

$C(\vect{s}, \vect{t}) = \sigma^2 e^{-\frac{1}{2} \left\|\dfrac{\vect{s}-\vect{t}}{\vect{\theta}}\right\|_{2}^{2}}, \quad \forall (\vect{s}, \vect{t}) \in \cD$

The correlation function $\rho$ writes:

$\rho(\vect{s}, \vect{t}) = e^{-\frac{1}{2} \left\| \vect{s}- \vect{t} \right\|_{2}^{2}}, \quad \forall (\vect{s}, \vect{t}) \in \cD$

Examples

Create a standard squared exponential covariance function:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> covModel = ot.SquaredExponential(2)
>>> t = [0.1, 0.3]
>>> s = [0.2, 0.4]
>>> print(covModel(s, t))
[[ 0.99005 ]]
>>> tau = [0.1, 0.3]
>>> print(covModel(tau))
[[ 0.951229 ]]

Create a squared exponential covariance function specifying the scale vector (amplitude is fixed to 1):

>>> covModel2 = ot.SquaredExponential([1.5, 2.5])
>>> covModel2bis = ot.SquaredExponential([1.5] * 3)

Create a squared exponential covariance function specifying the scale vector and the amplitude :

>>> covModel3 = ot.SquaredExponential([1.5, 2.5], [3.5])

__init__(*args)¶

computeAsScalar(*args)¶

Compute the covariance function for scalar model.

Available usages:

computeAsScalar(s, t)

computeAsScalar(tau)

Parameters:

s, tfloats (if $n=1$ ) or sequences of floats (any $n$ ): Multivariate index $(\vect{s}, \vect{t}) \in \cD \times \cD$
taufloat (if $n=1$ ) or sequence of floats (any $n$ ): Multivariate index $\vect{\tau} \in \cD$

Returns:

covariancefloat: Covariance.

Notes

The method makes sense only if the dimension of the process is $d=1$ . It evaluates $C(\vect{s}, \vect{t})$ .

In the second usage, the covariance model must be stationary. Then we note $C^{stat}(\vect{\tau})$ for $C(\vect{s}, \vect{s}+\vect{\tau})$ as this quantity does not depend on $\vect{s}$ .

computeCrossCovariance(*args)¶

computeCrossCovariance the covariance function on a given mesh.

Parameters:

firstVerticesSample or Point: Container of the first discretization vertices
secondVerticesSample or Point: Container of the second discretization vertices

Returns:

MatrixMatrix: Container of the cross covariance

Notes

This method computes a cross-covariance matrix. The cross-covariance is the evaluation of the covariance model on both firstVertices and secondVertices.

If $firstVertices$ contains $n_1$ points and $secondVertices$ contains $n_2$ points, the method returns an $n_1 d \times n_2 d$ matrix ( $d$ being the output dimension).

To make things easier, let us focus on the $d=1$ case. Let $\vect{x}_0, \dots, \vect{x}_{n_1-1}$ be the points of firstVertices and let $\vect{y}_0, \dots, \vect{y}_{n_2-1}$ be the points of secondVertices. The result is the $n_1 \times n_2$ matrix $\mat{M}$ such that for any nonnegative integers $i < n_1$ and $j < n_2$ , $\mat{M}_{i,j} = \mathcal{C}(\vect{x}_i, \vect{y}_j)$ .

discretize(*args)¶

Discretize the covariance function on a given mesh.

Parameters:

whereMesh or RegularGrid or Sample: Container of the discretization vertices

Returns:

covarianceMatrixCovarianceMatrix: Covariance matrix $\in \cS_{nd}^+(\Rset)$ (if the process is of dimension $d$ )

Notes

This method makes a discretization of the model on the given Mesh, RegularGrid or Sample composed of the vertices $(\vect{t}_1, \dots, \vect{t}_{N-1})$ and returns the covariance matrix:

$\mat{C}_{1,\dots,k} = \left( \begin{array}{cccc} C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_1) &C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_2) & \dots & C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_{k}) \\ \dots & C(\vect{t}_2, \vect{t}_2) & \dots & C(\vect{t}_2, \vect{t}_{k}) \\ \dots & \dots & \dots & \dots \\ \dots & \dots & \dots & C(\vect{t}_{k}, \vect{t}_{k}) \end{array} \right)$

Parameters:

Notes

This method makes a discretization of the model on the given Mesh, RegularGrid or Sample composed of the vertices $(\vect{t}_1, \dots, \vect{t}_{N-1})$ thanks to the discretize() method and returns its Cholesky factor.

Returns:

HMatrixHMatrix: Cholesk matrix $\in \cS_{nd}^+(\Rset)$ (if the process is of dimension $d$ ), stored in hierarchical format (H-Matrix)

Notes

This method is similar to the discretizeAndFactorize() method. This method requires that requires that OpenTURNS has been compiled with the hmat library. The method is helpful for very large parameters (Mesh, grid, Sample) because it compresses data.

discretizeHMatrix(*args)¶

Discretize the covariance function on a given mesh using HMatrix result.

Parameters:

whereMesh or RegularGrid or Sample: Container of the discretization vertices
hmatParamHMatrixParameters: Parameter values for the HMatrix

Notes

This method is similar to the discretize() method. This method requires that OpenTURNS has been compiled with the hmat library. The method is helpful for very large parameters (Mesh, grid, Sample) because it compresses data.
