The RBF network for regression.

The radial basis function surrogate discipline expresses the model output as a weighted sum of kernel functions centered on the learning input data:

\[y = w_1K(\|x-x_1\|;\epsilon) + w_2K(\|x-x_2\|;\epsilon) + \ldots + w_nK(\|x-x_n\|;\epsilon)\]

and the coefficients \((w_1, w_2, \ldots, w_n)\) are estimated by least squares minimization.

Dependence

The RBF model relies on the Rbf class of the scipy library.

Classes:

RBFRegression(data[, transformer, ...])

Parameters
  • data (Dataset) – The learning dataset.

  • transformer (Optional[TransformerType]) –

    The strategies to transform the variables. The values are instances of Transformer while the keys are the names of either the variables or the groups of variables, e.g. “inputs” or “outputs” in the case of the regression algorithms. If a group is specified, the Transformer will be applied to all the variables of this group. If None, do not transform the variables.

    By default it is set to None.

  • input_names (Optional[Iterable[str]]) –

    The names of the input variables. If None, consider all input variables mentioned in the learning dataset.

    By default it is set to None.

  • output_names (Optional[Iterable[str]]) –

    The names of the output variables. If None, consider all input variables mentioned in the learning dataset.

    By default it is set to None.

  • function (Union[str, Callable[[float,float],float]]) –

    The radial basis function taking a radius r as input, representing a distance between two points.

    If string, then it must be one of the following:

    'multiquadric': sqrt((r/self.epsilon)**2 + 1)
    'inverse': 1.0/sqrt((r/self.epsilon)**2 + 1)
    'gaussian': exp(-(r/self.epsilon)**2)
    'linear': r
    'cubic': r**3
    'quintic': r**5
    'thin_plate': r**2 * log(r)
    

    If callable, then it must take two arguments (self, r), e.g. lambda self, r: return sqrt((r/self.epsilon)**2 + 1) for the multiquadric function. The epsilon parameter will be available as self.epsilon. Other keyword arguments passed in will be available as well.

    By default it is set to multiquadric.

  • der_function (Optional[Callable[[ndarray],ndarray]]) –

    The derivative of the radial basis function, only to be provided if function is a callable and if the use of the model with its derivative is required. If None and if function is a callable, an error will be raised. If None and if function is a string, the class will look for its internal implementation and will raise an error if it is missing. The der_function shall take three arguments (input_data, norm_input_data, eps). For a RBF of the form function(\(r\)), der_function(\(x\), \(|x|\), \(\epsilon\)) shall return \(\epsilon^{-1} x/|x| f'(|x|/\epsilon)\).

    By default it is set to None.

  • epsilon (Optional[float]) –

    An adjustable constant for Gaussian or multiquadric functions. If None, use the average distance between input data.

    By default it is set to None.

  • smooth (float) –

    The degree of smoothness, 0 involving an interpolation of the learning points.

    By default it is set to 0.0.

  • norm (Union[str,Callable[[ndarray,ndarray],float]]) –

    The distance metric to be used, either a distance function name known by SciPy or a function that computes the distance between two points.

    By default it is set to euclidean.

class RBFDerivatives[source]

Derivatives of functions used in RBFRegression.

For a RBF of the form \(f(r)\), \(r\) scalar, the derivative functions are defined by \(d(f(r))/dx\), with \(r=|x|/\epsilon\). The functions are thus defined by \(df/dx = \epsilon^{-1} x/|x| f'(|x|/\epsilon)\). This convention is chosen to avoid division by \(|x|\) when the terms may be cancelled out, as \(f'(r)\) often has a term in \(r\).
