IterativeMoments

class IterativeMoments(*args)

Iterative moments.

Parameters:
orderint

Maximum order of the moments wanted

dimensionint

Dimension of the input data

Notes

This class iteratively computes the central moments of an iteratively increasing dataset without storing any data in memory.

Examples

In the following example, we iteratively compute the sample statistics of a sample. This is based on a sample with size equal to 2000. In the for loop, each realization of the distribution is used to update the statistics up to the 4th order moments.

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> distNormal = ot.Normal()
>>> order = 4
>>> dim = 1
>>> iterMoments = ot.IterativeMoments(order, dim)
>>> size = 2000
>>> meanEvolution = ot.Sample()
>>> for i in range(size):
...     point = distNormal.getRealization()
...     iterMoments.increment(point)
>>> print('Mean:     ', iterMoments.getMean())
Mean:      [-0.00726852]
>>> print('Variance: ', iterMoments.getVariance())
Variance:  [0.99156]
>>> print('Skewness: ', iterMoments.getSkewness())
Skewness:  [0.0577277]
>>> print('Kurtosis: ', iterMoments.getKurtosis())
Kurtosis:  [3.11128]

The statistics can also be updated with a single sample.

>>> distNormal = ot.Normal()
>>> dim = 1
>>> order = 1
>>> iterMoments = ot.IterativeMoments(order, dim)
>>> size = 2000
>>> sample = distNormal.getSample(size)
>>> iterMoments.increment(sample)
>>> print('Mean: ', iterMoments.getMean())
Mean:  [-0.017342]
