Hi Pamphile,
Could you please provide us a script that reproduce the error? It looks very 
strange, as this class is tested in more than 10 unit tests and is extensively 
used in industrial studies. BTW, ot.ComposedDistribution is by no means 
restricted to the independent copula as your comment could suggest.
Please note that it is not the physical space distribution which is checked by 
the GaussProductExperiment class, but the distribution defining the functional 
basis. You should use either OrthogonalProductPolynomialFactory or 
OrthogonalProductFunctionFactory to build your multivariate basis from 1D 
orthogonal bases to insure that the resulting multivariate distribution has an 
independent copula.
Please give me a feedback on this problem ASAP.
Cheer

 Hi Regis,
On the 1.10, I get this error calling the FunctionalChaosAlgorithm:
  File 
"/Users/roy/Applications/miniconda3/envs/batman3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/openturns/metamodel.py",
 line 3849, in __init__    this = 
_metamodel.new_FunctionalChaosAlgorithm(*args)TypeError: 
InvalidArgumentException : Error: the GaussProductExperiment can only be used 
with distributions having an independent copula.
But this was working on 1.9. I do not understand the issue as the distribution 
is an ot.ComposedDistribution. I tried to explicitly add 
ot.IndependentCopulawithout any change.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Regis,
For information, I have trouble pickling the class ot.FixedStrategy.From the 
example script : 
adaptiveStrategy = ot.FixedStrategy(basis, 
enumerateFunction.getStrataCumulatedCardinal(deg))
If I try to pickle this :
import picklepath = './model.dat'with open(path, 'wb') as f:    pickler = 
pickle.Pickler(f)    pickler.dump(adaptiveStrategy)
This works but then the deserialization does not :
with open(path, 'rb') as f:    unpickler = pickle.Unpickler(f)    
adaptiveStrategy = unpickler.load()
I get this error:

I found it. In order to speed up the computation of the coefficients of the 
polynomial expansion, we developed a class named DesignProxy, which acts like a 
cache for the evaluation of the multivariate basis oven the input sample. 
Essentially, it contains a large matrix, with a default size given by 
ResourceMap.GetAsUnsignedInteger("DesignProxy-DefaultCacheSize") and equals to 
16777216, it means 128Mo.


So if you add 
ot.ResourceMap.SetAsUnsignedInteger("DesignProxy-DefaultCacheSize", smallSize) 
with smallSize adapted to your memory budget (eg. smallSize=0), then everything 
should be ok.

You can also run the algorithm on the whole output sample. The DesignProxy 
instance is built once and shared among the different marginals. You can see 
that the memory cost of the algorithm is essentially the same for an output 
sample of dimension 1 or 14. Concerning the computation time, a part of the 
computation is shared between the marginals so the total cost is not 
proportional to the output dimension, even if no parallelization is implemented 
here (but the linear algebra is already parallelized using threads).

Tell me if it solved your problem!

I was able to make an extract.

I am fitting a case with functional output. So to parallelize the fitting I use 
a function that independently construct a model per feature.
The memory consumption is coming from every call to run() with a bump of ~130 
Mo each time. Maybe OT can handle itself the parallelization?
I saw that it was working without needing the loop, so maybe I should do that 
instead.

But still, 130 Mo for a model is quite a lot.

ouch! 3-4 Go is crazy! Do you have any script to share in order to help us 
catching the bug? I use the FunctionalChaosAlgorithm class more than often and 
I never faced this kind of behavior. If there is a bug it should be a good 
thing to catch it asap: we enter the 1.10 release candidate phase, a good slot

Hi Régis,

Not sure about the leak as I only do python.
But using the tool I know, I was not able to free the memory(using some del and 
gc.collect()).

I saw the issue when constructing a model on a cluster (Quadrature with 121 
points, degree 10 in 2d) and the batch manager killed the job
due to memory consumption. On my Mac the memory goes to 3-4 Go for this but on 
the cluster it explodes.

As always, thanks for the quick reply :)

Hi Pamphil,

Nice to know that the code *seems* to work ;-)

Are you sure that there is a memory leak? The algorithm creates potentially 
large objects, which are stored into the FunctionalChaosResult member of the 
algorithm. If there is a pending reference to this object, the memory will not 
be released. Maybe Denis, Julien or Sofiane have more insight on this point?

Cheers

Régis

Hi Regis,

Thanks for this long and well detailed answer!
The code you provided seems to work as expected.

However during my tests I noticed that the memory was not freed correctly.
Once the class FunctionalChaosAlgorithm is called, there is a memory bump and 
even after calling del
and gc.collect(), memory is still not freed (using memory_profiler for that). 
Might be a memory leak?

Kind regards,

Hi Pamphil,


You were almost right: the AdaptiveStieltjesAlgorithm is very close to what you 
are looking for, but not exactly what you need. It is the algorithmic part of 
the factory of orthonormal polynomials, the class you have to use is 
StandardDistributionPolynomialFactory, ie a factory (=able to build something) 
and not an algorithm (=something able to compute something). You have all the 
details here:

http://openturns.github.io/openturns/master/user_manual/_generated/openturns.StandardDistributionPolynomialFactory.html

I agree on the fact that the difference is quite subtle, as it can be seen by 
comparing the API of the two classes. The distinction was made at a time were 
several algorithms were competing for the task (GramSchmidtAlgorithm, 
ChebychevAlgorithm) but in fact the AdaptiveStieltjesAlgorithm proved to be 
much more accurate and reliable than the other algorithms, and now it is the 
only orthonormalization algorithm available.

Another subtle trick is the following.

If you create a basis this way:
basis = ot.StandardDistributionPolynomialFactory(dist)
you will get the basis associated to the *standard representative* distribution 
in the parametric family to which dist belongs. It means the distribution with 
zero mean and unit variance, or with support equals to [-1, 1], or dist itself 
if no affine transformation is able to reduce the number of parameters of the 
distribution. 
It is managed automatically within the FunctionalChaosAlgorithm, but can be 
disturbing if you do things by hand.

If you create a basis this way:
basis = 
ot.StandardDistributionPolynomialFactory(ot.AdaptiveStieltjesAlgorithm(dist))
then the distribution is preserved, and you get the orthonormal polynomials 
corresponding to dist. Be aware of the fact that the algorithm may have hard 
time to build the polynomials if your distribution is far away from its 
standard representative, as it may involves the computation of recurrence 
coefficients with a much wider range of variation. The benefit is that the 
orthonormality measure is exactly your distribution, assuming that its copula 
is the independent one, so you don't have to introduce a marginal 
transformation between both measures.

Some additional remarks:
+ it looks like dist has dimension>1, as you extract its marginal distributions 
later on. AdaptiveStieltjesAlgorithm and StandardDistributionPolynomialFactory 
only work with 1D distributions (it is not checked by the library, my shame). 
What you have to do is:

basis = 
ot.OrthogonalProductPolynomialFactory([ot.StandardDistributionPolynomialFactory(ot.AdaptiveStieltjesAlgorithm(dist.getMarginal(i)))
 for i in range(dist.getDimension())])
Quite a long line, I know...
It will build a multivariate polynomial basis orthonormal with respect to the 
product distribution (ie with independent copula) sharing the same 1D marginal 
distributions as dist.


After that, everything will work as expected and you will NOT have to build the 
transformation (if you build it it will coincide with the identity function). 
If you encounter performance issues (the polynomials of high degrees take ages 
to be built as in http://trac.openturns.org/ticket/885, or there is an 
overflow, or the numerical precision is bad) then use:
basis = 
ot.OrthogonalProductPolynomialFactory([ot.StandardDistributionPolynomialFactory(dist.getMarginal(i))
 for i in range(dist.getDimension())])
and build the transformation the way you do it.

+ if you use the FunctionalChaosAlgorithm class by providing an input sample 
and an output sample, you also have to provide the weights of the input sample 
EVEN IF the experiment given in the projection strategy would allow to 
recompute them. It is because the fact that you provide the input sample 
overwrite the weighted experiment of the projection stratey by a 
FixedExperiment doe.

I attached two complete examples: one using the exact marginal distributions 
and the other using the standard representatives.

Best regards

Régis

Hi Regis,

Thank you for this detailed answer.

- I am using the latest release from conda (OT 1.9, python 3.6.2, latest numpy, 
etc.) ,
- For the sample, I need it to generate externally the output (cost code that 
cannot be integrated into OT as model),
- I have to convert ot.Sample into np.array because it is then used by other 
functions to create the simulations, etc.

If I understood correctly, I can create the projection strategy using this 
snippet:

basis = ot.AdaptiveStieltjesAlgorithm(dist)
measure = basis.getMeasure()
quad = ot.Indices(in_dim)
for i in range(in_dim):
quad[i] = degree + 1

comp_dist = ot.GaussProductExperiment(measure, quad)
proj_strategy = ot.IntegrationStrategy(comp_dist)

inv_trans = 
ot.Function(ot.MarginalTransformationEvaluation([measure.getMarginal(i) for i 
in range(in_dim)], distributions))
sample = np.array(inv_trans(comp_dist.generate()))


It seems to work. Except that the basis does not work with 
ot.FixedStrategy(basis, dim_basis). I get a non implemented method error.

After I get the sample and the corresponding output, what is the way to go? 
Which arguments do I need to use for the
ot.FunctionalChaosAlgorithm? 

I am comparing the Q2 and on Ishigami and I was only able to get correct 
results using:

pc_algo = ot.FunctionalChaosAlgorithm(sample, output, dist, trunc_strategy)

But for least square strategy I had to use this:

pc_algo = ot.FunctionalChaosAlgorithm(sample, output)


Is it normal?

Hi Pamphile,




1) The problem:
The problem you get is due to the fact that in your version of OpenTURNS (1.7 I 
suppose), the GaussProductExperiment class has a different way to handle the 
input distribution than the other WeightedExperiment classes: it generates the 
quadrature rule of the *standard representatives* of the marginal distributions 
instead of the marginal distributions. It does not change the rate of 
convergence of the PCE algorithm and allows to use specific algorithms for 
distributions with known orthonormal polynomials. It is not explained in the 
documentation and if you ask the doe for its distribution it will give you the 
initial distribution instead of the standardized one.

2) The mathematical background:
The generation of quadrature rules for arbitrary 1D distributions is a badly 
conditioned problem. Even if the quadrature rule is well-defined (existence of 
moments of any order, distribution characterized by these moments), the 
application that maps the recurrence coefficients of the orthogonal polynomials 
to their value can have a very large condition number. As a result, the 
adaptive integration used to compute the recurrence coefficients of order n, 
based on the values of the polynomials of degree n-1 and n-2, can lead to wrong 
values and all the process falls down.

3) The current state of the software:
Since version 1.8, OpenTURNS no more generates the quadrature rule of the 
standard representatives, but the quadrature rule of the actual marginal 
distributions. The AdaptiveStieltjesAlgorithm class, introduced in release 1.8, 
is much more robust than the previous orthonormalization algorithms and is able 
to handle even stiff problems. There are still difficult situations 
(distributions with discontinuous PDF inside of the range, fixed in OT 1.9, or 
really badly conditioned distributions, hopefully fixed when ticket#885 will be 
solved) but most usual situations are under control even with marginal degrees 
of order 20.

4) The (probable) bug in your code and the way to solve it
You must be aware of the fact that the distribution you put into your 
WeightedExperiment object will be superseded by the distribution corresponding 
to your OrthogonalBasisFactory inside of the FunctionalChaosAlgorithm. If you 
need to have the input sample before to run the functional chaos algorithm, 
then you have to build your transformation by hand. Assuming that you already 
defined your projection basis called 'myBasis', your marginal integration 
degrees 'myDegrees' and your marginal distributions 'myMarginals', you have to 
write (in OT 1.7):

# Here the explicit cast into a NumericalMathFunction is to be able to evaluate 
the transformation over a sample
myTransformation = 
ot.NumericalMathFunction(ot.MarginalTransformationEvaluation([myBasis.getDistribution().getMarginal(i)
 for i in range(dimension), myMarginals))
sample = myTransformation(ot.GaussProductExperiment(myBasis.getDistribution(), 
myDegrees).generate())


You should avoid to cast OT objects into np objects as much as possible, and if 
you cannot avoid these casts you should do them only in the sections where they 
are needed. They can be expansive for large objects, and if the sample you get 
from generate() is used only as an argument of a NumericalMathFunction, then it 
will be converted back into a NumericalSample!

Best regards

Régis

Hi,

I am facing consistency concerns in the API regarding distributions and 
sampling.

The initial goal was to get the sampling for Polynomial Chaos as I must not use 
the model variable.
So for least square strategy I do something like this:

proj_strategy = ot.LeastSquaresStrategy(montecarlo_design)
sample = np.array(proj_strategy.getExperiment().generate())

sample is correct as the bounds of each feature lie in the corresponding ranges.

But now if I want to use IntegrationStrategy:

ot.IntegrationStrategy(ot.GaussProductExperiment(dists, list))
sample = np.array(proj_strategy.getExperiment().generate())

sample’s outputs lie between [-1, 1] which does not corresponds to the 
distribution I have initially.

So I used the conversion class but it does not work well with 
GaussProductExperiment as it requires [0, 1] instead of [-1, 1].

Thus I use this hack:

# Convert from [-1, 1] -> input distributions
marg_inv_transf = ot.MarginalTransformationEvaluation(distributions, 1)
sample = (proj_strategy.getExperiment().generate() + 1) / 2.


Is it normal that the distribution classes are not returning in the same 
intervals?


Thanks for your support!
