The polynomial chaos expansion algorithm for regression.

The polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) model expresses the model output as a weighted sum of polynomial functions which are orthonormal in the stochastic input space spanned by the random input variables:

\[Y = w_0 + w_1\phi_1(X) + w_2\phi_2(X) + ... + w_K\phi_K(X)\]

where \(\phi_i(x)=\psi_{\tau_1(i),1}(x_1)\times\ldots\times \psi_{\tau_d(i),d}(x_d)\).

Enumerating strategy

The choice of the function \(\tau=(\tau_1,\ldots,\tau_d)\) is an enumerating strategy and \(\tau_j(i)\) is the polynomial degree of \(\psi_{\tau_j(i),j}\).

Distributions

PCE are stochastic models whose inputs are random variables and are often used to deal with uncertainty quantification problems.

If \(X_j\) is a Gaussian random variable, \((\psi_{ij})_{i\geq 0}\) is the Legendre basis. If \(X_j\) is an uniform random variable, \((\psi_{ij})_{i\geq 0}\) is the Hermite basis.

When the problem is deterministic, we can still use PCE under the assumptions that the random variables are independent uniform random variables. Then, the orthonormal basis function is the Hermite basis.

Degree

The degree \(P\) of a PCE is defined in such a way that \(\text{degree}(\phi_i)=\sum_{j=1}^d\tau_j(i)\leq P\).

Estimation

The coefficients \((w_1, w_2, ..., w_K)\) and the intercept \(w_0\) are estimated either by least squares regression, sparse least squares regression or quadrature.

Dependence

The PCE model relies on the FunctionalChaosAlgorithm class of the openturns library.
