graycode (bool) – indicator to use graycode ordering (True) or natural ordering (False)
seed (list) – int seed of list of seeds, one for each dimension.
generating_matrices (ndarray or str) – generating matricies or path to generating matrices. ndarray should have shape (d_max, m_max) where each int has t_max bits generating_matrices sould be formatted like gen_mat.21201.32.32.msb.npy with name.d_max.t_max.m_max.{msb,lsb}.npy
d_max (int) – max dimension
t_max (int) – number of bits in each int of each generating matrix. aka: number of rows in a generating matrix with ints expanded into columns
m_max (int) – 2^m_max is the number of samples supported. aka: number of columns in a generating matrix with ints expanded into columns
msb (bool) – bit storage as ints. e.g. if t_max=3, then 6 is [1 1 0] in MSB (True) and [0 1 1] in LSB (False)
t_lms (int) – LMS scrambling matrix will be t_lms x t_max for generating matrix of shape t_max x m_max
_verbose (bool) – print randomization details

__init__(dimension=1, randomize=True, order='natural', seed=None, generating_vector='lattice_vec.3600.20.npy', d_max=None, m_max=None)

Parameters

dimension (int or ndarray) – dimension of the generator. If an int is passed in, use sequence dimensions [0,…,dimensions-1]. If a ndarray is passed in, use these dimension indices in the sequence.
randomize (bool) – If True, apply shift to generated samples. Note: Non-randomized lattice sequence includes the origin.
order (str) – ‘linear’, ‘natural’, or ‘mps’ ordering.
seed (None or int or numpy.random.SeedSeq) – seed the random number generator for reproducibility
generating_vector (ndarray or str) – generating matrix or path to generating matrices. ndarray should have shape (d_max). a string generating_vector should be formatted like ‘lattice_vec.3600.20.npy’ where ‘name.d_max.m_max.npy’
d_max (int) – maximum dimension
m_max (int) – 2^m_max is the max number of supported samples

Note

d_max and m_max are required if generating_vector is a ndarray. If generating_vector is an string (path), d_max and m_max can be taken from the file name if None

gen_samples(n=None, n_min=0, n_max=8, warn=True, return_unrandomized=False)

Generate lattice samples

Parameters

n (int) – if n is supplied, generate from n_min=0 to n_max=n samples. Otherwise use the n_min and n_max explicitly supplied as the following 2 arguments
n_min (int) – Starting index of sequence.
n_max (int) – Final index of sequence.
return_unrandomized (bool) – return samples without randomization as 2nd return value. Will not be returned if randomize=False.

Returns

(n_max-n_min) x d (dimension) array of samples

Return type

ndarray

Note

Lattice generates in blocks from 2**m to 2**(m+1) so generating n_min=3 to n_max=9 requires necessarily produces samples from n_min=2 to n_max=16 and automatically subsets. May be inefficient for non-powers-of-2 samples sizes.

Integrand Class

Abstract Integrand Class

class qmcpy.integrand._integrand.Integrand(dimension_indv, dimension_comb, parallel, threadpool=False)

Integrand abstract class. DO NOT INSTANTIATE.

__init__(dimension_indv, dimension_comb, parallel, threadpool=False)

Parameters

dimension_indv (tuple) – individual solution shape.
dimension_comb (tuple) – combined solution shape.
parallel (int) – If parallel is False, 0, or 1: function evaluation is done in serial fashion. Otherwise, parallel specifies the number of processes used by multiprocessing.Pool or multiprocessing.pool.ThreadPool. Passing parallel=True sets processes = os.cpu_count().
threadpool (bool) – When parallel > 1, if threadpool = True then use multiprocessing.pool.ThreadPool else use multiprocessing.Pool.

bound_fun(bound_low, bound_high)

Compute the bounds on the combined function based on bounds for the individual functions. Defaults to the identity where we essentially do not combine integrands, but instead integrate each function individually.

Parameters

bound_low (ndarray) – length Integrand.d_indv lower error bound
bound_high (ndarray) – length Integrand.d_indv upper error bound

Returns

(tuple) containing

(ndarray): lower bound on function combining estimates
(ndarray): upper bound on function combining estimates
(ndarray): bool flags to override sufficient combined integrand estimation, e.g., when approximating a ratio of integrals, if the denominator’s bounds straddle 0, then returning True here forces ratio to be flagged as insufficiently approximated.

dependency(comb_flags)

Takes a vector of indicators of weather of not the error bound is satisfied for combined integrands and which returns flags for individual integrands. For example, if we are taking the ratio of 2 individual integrands, then getting flag_comb=True means the ratio has not been approximated to within the tolerance, so the dependency function should return [True,True] indicating that both the numerator and denominator integrands need to be better approximated. :param comb_flags: flags indicating weather the combined integrals are insufficiently approximated :type comb_flags: bool ndarray

Returns: length (Integrand.d_indv) flags for individual integrands
Return type: (bool ndarray)

Evaluate transformed integrand based on true measures and discrete distribution

Parameters

x (ndarray) – n x d array of samples from a discrete distribution

compute_flags (ndarray) – outputs that require computation. For example, if the vector function has 3 outputs and compute_flags = [False, True, False], then the function is only required to compute the second output and may leave the remaining outputs as e.g. 0. The False outputs will not be used in the computation since those integrals have been sufficiently approximated.
*args – other ordered args to g
**kwargs (dict) – other keyword args to g

Returns

length n vector of function evaluations

Return type

ndarray

__init__(integrand, indices='singletons')

Parameters

integrand (Integrand) – integrand to find Sobol’ indices of
indices (list of lists) – each element of indices should be a list of indices, u, at which to compute the Sobol’ indices. The default indices=’singletons’ sets indices=[[0],[1],…[d-1]]. Should not include [], the null set, or [0,…,d-1], the set of all indices. Setting indices=’all’ will compute all sensitivity indices

bound_fun(bound_low, bound_high)

Compute the bounds on the combined function based on bounds for the individual functions. Defaults to the identity where we essentially do not combine integrands, but instead integrate each function individually.

Parameters

bound_low (ndarray) – length Integrand.d_indv lower error bound
bound_high (ndarray) – length Integrand.d_indv upper error bound

Returns

(tuple) containing

(ndarray): lower bound on function combining estimates
(ndarray): upper bound on function combining estimates
(ndarray): bool flags to override sufficient combined integrand estimation, e.g., when approximating a ratio of integrals, if the denominator’s bounds straddle 0, then returning True here forces ratio to be flagged as insufficiently approximated.

dependency(comb_flags)

Takes a vector of indicators of weather of not the error bound is satisfied for combined integrands and which returns flags for individual integrands. For example, if we are taking the ratio of 2 individual integrands, then getting flag_comb=True means the ratio has not been approximated to within the tolerance, so the dependency function should return [True,True] indicating that both the numerator and denominator integrands need to be better approximated. :param comb_flags: flags indicating weather the combined integrals are insufficiently approximated :type comb_flags: bool ndarray

Returns: length (Integrand.d_indv) flags for individual integrands
Return type: (bool ndarray)

f(x, *args, **kwargs)

Evaluate transformed integrand based on true measures and discrete distribution

Parameters

x (ndarray) – n x d array of samples from a discrete distribution
periodization_transform (str) – periodization transform
compute_flags (ndarray) – outputs that require computation. For example, if the vector function has 3 outputs and compute_flags = [False, True, False], then the function is only required to compute the second output and may leave the remaining outputs as e.g. 0. The False outputs will not be used in the computation since those integrals have been sufficiently approximated.
*args – other ordered args to g
**kwargs (dict) – other keyword args to g

Returns

length n vector of function evaluations

Return type

ndarray

class qmcpy.integrand.sensitivity_indices.SobolIndices(integrand, indices='singletons'): Normalized Sobol’ Indices, an alias for SensitivityIndices.

Guarantee:: This algorithm computes the integral of real valued functions in $[0,1]^d$ with a prescribed generalized error tolerance. The Fourier coefficients of the integrand are assumed to be absolutely convergent. If the algorithm terminates without warning messages, the output is given with guarantees under the assumption that the integrand lies inside a cone of functions. The guarantee is based on the decay rate of the Fourier coefficients. For integration over domains other than $[0,1]^d$ , this cone condition applies to $f \circ \psi$ (the composition of the functions) where $\psi$ is the transformation function for $[0,1]^d$ to the desired region. For more details on how the cone is defined, please refer to the references below.

Parameters

integrand (Integrand) – an instance of Integrand
abs_tol (ndarray) – absolute error tolerance
rel_tol (ndarray) – relative error tolerance
n_init (int) – initial number of samples
n_max (int) – maximum number of samples
fudge (function) – positive function multiplying the finite sum of Fast Fourier coefficients specified in the cone of functions
check_cone (boolean) – check if the function falls in the cone
control_variates (list) – list of integrand objects to be used as control variates. Control variates are currently only compatible with single level problems. The same discrete distribution instance must be used for the integrand and each of the control variates.
control_variate_means (list) – list of means for each control variate
update_beta (bool) – update control variate beta coefficients at each iteration?
error_fun – function taking in the approximate solution vector, absolute tolerance, and relative tolerance which returns the approximate error. Default indicates integration until either absolute OR relative tolerance is satisfied.

Guarantee: This algorithm computes the integral of real valued functions in $[0,1]^d$ with a prescribed generalized error tolerance. The Fourier coefficients of the integrand are assumed to be absolutely convergent. If the algorithm terminates without warning messages, the output is given with guarantees under the assumption that the integrand lies inside a cone of functions. The guarantee is based on the decay rate of the Fourier coefficients. For integration over domains other than $[0,1]^d$ , this cone condition applies to $f \circ \psi$ (the composition of the functions) where $\psi$ is the transformation function for $[0,1]^d$ to the desired region. For more details on how the cone is defined, please refer to the references below.

Parameters

integrand (Integrand) – an instance of Integrand
abs_tol (ndarray) – absolute error tolerance
rel_tol (ndarray) – relative error tolerance
n_init (int) – initial number of samples
n_max (int) – maximum number of samples
fudge (function) – positive function multiplying the finite sum of Fast Fourier coefficients specified in the cone of functions
check_cone (boolean) – check if the function falls in the cone
error_fun – function taking in the approximate solution vector, absolute tolerance, and relative tolerance which returns the approximate error. Default indicates integration until either absolute OR relative tolerance is satisfied.

Guarantees:

This algorithm attempts to calculate the integral of function $f$ over the hyperbox $[0,1]^d$ to a prescribed error tolerance $\mbox{tolfun} := max(\mbox{abstol}, \mbox{reltol}*| I |)$ with a guaranteed confidence level, e.g., $99\%$ when alpha= $0.5\%$ . If the algorithm terminates without showing any warning messages and provides an answer $Q$ , then the following inequality would be satisfied:

$Pr(| Q - I | <= \mbox{tolfun}) = 99\%.$

This Bayesian cubature algorithm guarantees for integrands that are considered to be an instance of a Gaussian process that falls in the middle of samples space spanned. Where The sample space is spanned by the covariance kernel parametrized by the scale and shape parameter inferred from the sampled values of the integrand. For more details on how the covariance kernels are defined and the parameters are obtained, please refer to the references below.
