Notes

This class helps to generate fields from the conditioned gaussian process resulting from a Gaussian process regression algorithm.

Refer to the documentation of GaussianProcessRegression to get details on the notations.

Examples

We consider the model g: \Rset^2 \rightarrow \Rset defined by g(x,y) = cos(x/2) + sin(y).

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> import openturns.experimental as otexp
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> model = ot.SymbolicFunction(['x', 'y'], ['cos(0.5*x) + sin(y)'])

Then we define the train sample as a box with 8 levels on the x-axis and 5 levels on the y-axis.

>>> levels = [8.0, 5.0]
>>> box = ot.Box(levels)
>>> x_train = box.generate()
>>> x_train *= 10
>>> y_train = model(x_train)

We define the covariance model as a SquaredExponential model:

>>> dim = 2
>>> covarianceModel = ot.SquaredExponential([1.0, 1.0], [1.0])

We define the functions basis to estimate the trend: this basis only contains constant functions:

>>> basis = ot.ConstantBasisFactory(dim).build()

We estimate the Gaussian process regression, using first the class GaussianProcessFitter, then using the class GaussianProcessRegression:

>>> fitter_algo = otexp.GaussianProcessFitter(x_train, y_train, covarianceModel, basis)
>>> fitter_algo.run()
>>> fitter_result = fitter_algo.getResult()
>>> gpr_algo = otexp.GaussianProcessRegression(fitter_result)
>>> gpr_algo.run()
>>> gpr_result = gpr_algo.getResult()

Now, we define the mesh on which the gconditionned gaussian process is generated:

>>> vertices = [[1.0, 0.0], [2.0, 0.0], [2.0, 1.0], [1.0, 1.0], [1.5, 0.5]]
>>> simplices = [[0, 1, 4], [1, 2, 4], [2, 3, 4], [3, 0, 4]]
>>> mesh2D = ot.Mesh(vertices, simplices)
>>> process = otexp.ConditionedGaussianProcess(gpr_result, mesh2D)

We get a realization of the conditioned Gaussian process:

>>> realization = process.getRealization()

Returns:
class_namestr

The object class name (object.__class__.__name__).

getContinuousRealization()

Get a continuous realization.

Returns:
realizationFunction

According to the process, the continuous realizations are built:

  • either using a dedicated functional model if it exists: e.g. a functional basis process.

  • or using an interpolation from a discrete realization of the process on \cM: in dimension d=1, a linear interpolation and in dimension d \geq 2, a piecewise constant function (the value at a given position is equal to the value at the nearest vertex of the mesh of the process).

getCovarianceModel()

Returns:
timeGridRegularGrid

Time grid of a process when the mesh associated to the process can be interpreted as a RegularGrid. We check if the vertices of the mesh are scalar and are regularly spaced in \Rset but we don’t check if the connectivity of the mesh is conform to the one of a regular grid (without any hole and composed of ordered instants).

isNormal()

Test whether the process is normal or not.

Returns:
isNormalbool

True if the process is normal.

Notes

A stochastic process is normal if all its finite dimensional joint distributions are normal, which means that for all k \in \Nset and I_k \in \Nset^*, with cardI_k=k, there is \vect{m}_1, \dots, \vect{m}_k \in \Rset^d and \mat{C}_{1,\dots,k}\in\mathcal{M}_{kd,kd}(\Rset) such that:

\Expect{\exp\left\{i\Tr{\vect{X}}_{I_k} \vect{U}_{k}  \right\}} =
\exp{\left\{i\Tr{\vect{U}}_{k}\vect{M}_{k}-\frac{1}{2}\Tr{\vect{U}}_{k}\mat{C}_{1,\dots,k}\vect{U}_{k}\right\}}

where \Tr{\vect{X}}_{I_k} = (\Tr{X}_{\vect{t}_1}, \hdots, \Tr{X}_{\vect{t}_k}), \\Tr{vect{U}}_{k} = (\Tr{\vect{u}}_{1}, \hdots, \Tr{\vect{u}}_{k}) and \Tr{\vect{M}}_{k} = (\Tr{\vect{m}}_{1}, \hdots, \Tr{\vect{m}}_{k}) and \mat{C}_{1,\dots,k} is the symmetric matrix:

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

A Gaussian process is entirely defined by its mean function m and its covariance function C (or correlation function R).

isStationary()

Test whether the process is stationary or not.

Returns:
isStationarybool

True if the process is stationary.

Notes

A process X is stationary if its distribution is invariant by translation: \forall k \in \Nset, \forall (\vect{t}_1, \dots, \vect{t}_k) \in \cD, \forall \vect{h}\in \Rset^n, we have:

(X_{\vect{t}_1}, \dots, X_{\vect{t}_k})
\stackrel{\mathcal{D}}{=} (X_{\vect{t}_1+\vect{h}}, \dots, X_{\vect{t}_k+\vect{h}})

Time grid of observation of the process when the mesh associated to the process can be interpreted as a RegularGrid. We check if the vertices of the mesh are scalar and are regularly spaced in \Rset but we don’t check if the connectivity of the mesh is conform to the one of a regular grid (without any hole and composed of ordered instants).
