Sinusoidal Function (1 random input, scalar output)

In this example, PCE is used to generate a surrogate model of a sinusoidal function with a single random input and a scalar output.

Import necessary libraries.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from UQpy.distributions import Uniform
from UQpy.surrogates import *

Define the sinusoidal function to be approximated.

def sinusoidal_function(x):
    return x * np.sin(x) / 10.0

Create a distribution object, generate samples and evaluate the function at the samples.

np.random.seed(1)

dist = Uniform(loc=0, scale=10)
n_samples = 200
x = dist.rvs(n_samples)
y = sinusoidal_function(x)

Create an object from the PCE class, construct a total-degree polynomial basis given a maximum polynomial degree, and compute the PCE coefficients using least squares regression.

max_degree = 15
polynomial_basis = TotalDegreeBasis(dist, max_degree)
least_squares = LeastSquareRegression()
pce_lstsq = PolynomialChaosExpansion(polynomial_basis=polynomial_basis, regression_method=least_squares)

pce_lstsq.fit(x,y)

Create an object from the PCE class, construct a total-degree polynomial basis given a maximum polynomial degree, and compute the PCE coefficients using LASSO regression.

polynomial_basis = TotalDegreeBasis(dist, max_degree)
lasso = LassoRegression()
pce_lasso = PolynomialChaosExpansion(polynomial_basis=polynomial_basis, regression_method=lasso)

pce_lasso.fit(x,y)

Create an object from the PCE class, construct a total-degree polynomial basis given a maximum polynomial degree, and compute the PCE coefficients using ridge regression.

polynomial_basis = TotalDegreeBasis(dist, max_degree)
ridge = RidgeRegression()
pce_ridge = PolynomialChaosExpansion(polynomial_basis=polynomial_basis, regression_method=ridge)

pce_ridge.fit(x,y)

PCE surrogate is used to predict the behavior of the function at new samples.

x_test = dist.rvs(100)
x_test.sort(axis=0)

y_test_lstsq = pce_lstsq.predict(x_test)
y_test_lasso = pce_lasso.predict(x_test)
y_test_ridge = pce_ridge.predict(x_test)

Plot training data, true function and PCE surrogate

n_samples_ = 1000
x_ = np.linspace(min(x_test), max(x_test), n_samples_)
f = sinusoidal_function(x_)

plt.figure()
plt.plot(x_test, y_test_lstsq, 'g', label='PCE predictor - LSTSQ')
plt.plot(x_test, y_test_lasso, 'r', label='PCE predictor - LASSO')
plt.plot(x_test, y_test_ridge, 'b', label='PCE predictor - Ridge')
plt.scatter(x, y, label='training data')
plt.plot(x_, f, 'm', label='function')
plt.title('PCE surrogate - prediction accuracy')
plt.legend(); plt.show()

Error Estimation

Construct a validation dataset and get the validation error.

# validation sample
n_samples = 100000
x_val = dist.rvs(n_samples)
y_val = sinusoidal_function(x_val).flatten()

# PCE predictions
y_pce_lstsq = pce_lstsq.predict(x_val).flatten()
y_pce_lasso = pce_lasso.predict(x_val).flatten()
y_pce_ridge = pce_ridge.predict(x_val).flatten()

# mean absolute errors
error_lstsq = np.sum(np.abs(y_val - y_pce_lstsq))/n_samples
error_lasso = np.sum(np.abs(y_val - y_pce_lasso))/n_samples
error_ridge = np.sum(np.abs(y_val - y_pce_ridge))/n_samples

print('Mean absolute error from least squares regression is: ', error_lstsq)
print('Mean absolute error from LASSO regression is: ', error_lasso)
print('Mean absolute error from ridge regression is: ', error_ridge)
print(' ')

# mean relative errors
error_lstsq = np.sum( np.abs((y_val - y_pce_lstsq)/y_val) )/n_samples
error_lasso = np.sum( np.abs((y_val - y_pce_lasso)/y_val) )/n_samples
error_ridge = np.sum( np.abs((y_val - y_pce_ridge)/y_val) )/n_samples

print('Mean relative error from least squares regression is: ', error_lstsq)
print('Mean relative error from LASSO regression is: ', error_lasso)
print('Mean relative error from ridge regression is: ', error_ridge)

Moment Estimation

Returns mean and variance of the PCE surrogate.

n_mc = 1000000
x_mc = dist.rvs(n_mc)
y_mc = sinusoidal_function(x_mc)
mean_mc = np.mean(y_mc)
var_mc = np.var(y_mc)

print('Moments from least squares regression :', pce_lstsq.get_moments())
print('Moments from LASSO regression :', pce_lasso.get_moments())
print('Moments from Ridge regression :', pce_ridge.get_moments())
print('Moments from Monte Carlo integration: ', mean_mc, var_mc)
