__init__(problem)¶

Creates a LHS algorithm.

Parameters:

drawProbabilityConvergence(*args)¶

Draw the probability convergence at a given level.

getBlockSize()¶

Accessor to the block size.

Returns:

blockSizeint: Number of terms in the probability simulation estimator grouped together. It is set by default to 1.

getClassName()¶

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns:

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

getConvergenceStrategy()¶

Accessor to the convergence strategy.

Returns:

storage_strategyHistoryStrategy: Storage strategy used to store the values of the probability estimator and its variance during the simulation algorithm.

getEvent()¶

Accessor to the event.

Returns:

eventRandomVector: Event we want to evaluate the probability.

getExperiment()¶

Accessor to the experiment.

Returns:

experimentWeightedExperiment: The experiment that is sampled at each iteration.

getMaximumCoefficientOfVariation()¶

Accessor to the maximum coefficient of variation.

Returns:

coefficientfloat: Maximum coefficient of variation of the simulated sample.

Returns:

maximumTimeDurationfloat: Maximum optimization duration in seconds.

getName()¶

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns:

namestr: The name of the object.

getResult()¶

Accessor to the results.

Returns:

resultsSimulationResult: Structure containing all the results obtained after simulation and created by the method run().

hasName()¶

Test if the object is named.

run()¶

Launch simulation.

openturns.SimulationResult

Notes

It launches the simulation and creates a SimulationResult, structure containing all the results obtained after simulation. It computes the probability of occurrence of the given event by computing the empirical mean of a sample of size at most outerSampling * blockSize, this sample being built by blocks of size blockSize. It allows one to use efficiently the distribution of the computation as well as it allows one to deal with a sample size $> 2^{32}$ by a combination of blockSize and outerSampling.

setBlockSize(blockSize)¶

Accessor to the block size.

Parameters:

blockSizeint, $blockSize \geq 1$: Number of terms in the probability simulation estimator grouped together. It is set by default to 1.

Notes

For Monte Carlo, LHS and Importance Sampling methods, this allows one to save space while allowing multithreading, when available we recommend to use the number of available CPUs; for the Directional Sampling, we recommend to set it to 1.

setConvergenceStrategy(convergenceStrategy)¶

Accessor to the convergence strategy.

Parameters:

storage_strategyHistoryStrategy: Storage strategy used to store the values of the probability estimator and its variance during the simulation algorithm.

setExperiment(experiment)¶

Accessor to the experiment.

Parameters:

experimentWeightedExperiment: The experiment that is sampled at each iteration.

setMaximumCoefficientOfVariation(maximumCoefficientOfVariation)¶

Accessor to the maximum coefficient of variation.

Parameters:

coefficientfloat: Maximum coefficient of variation of the simulated sample.

setMaximumOuterSampling(maximumOuterSampling)¶

Accessor to the maximum sample size.

Parameters:

outerSamplingint: Maximum number of groups of terms in the probability simulation estimator.

setMaximumStandardDeviation(maximumStandardDeviation)¶

Accessor to the maximum standard deviation.

Parameters:

sigmafloat, $\sigma > 0$: Maximum standard deviation of the estimator.

setMaximumTimeDuration(maximumTimeDuration)¶

Accessor to the maximum duration.

Parameters:

maximumTimeDurationfloat: Maximum optimization duration in seconds.

setName(name)¶

Accessor to the object’s name.

Parameters:

namestr: The name of the object.

setProgressCallback(*args)¶

Examples

>>> import sys
>>> import openturns as ot
>>> experiment = ot.MonteCarloExperiment()
>>> X = ot.RandomVector(ot.Normal())
>>> Y = ot.CompositeRandomVector(ot.SymbolicFunction(['X'], ['1.1*X']), X)
>>> event = ot.ThresholdEvent(Y, ot.Less(), -2.0)
>>> algo = ot.ProbabilitySimulationAlgorithm(event, experiment)
>>> algo.setMaximumOuterSampling(100)
>>> algo.setMaximumCoefficientOfVariation(-1.0)
>>> def report_progress(progress):
...     sys.stderr.write('-- progress=' + str(progress) + '%\n')
>>> algo.setProgressCallback(report_progress)
>>> algo.run()

setStopCallback(*args)¶

Set up a stop callback.

Can be used to programmatically stop a simulation.

Parameters:

Examples

Stop a Monte Carlo simulation algorithm using a time limit

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> experiment = ot.MonteCarloExperiment()
>>> X = ot.RandomVector(ot.Normal())
