pilot module¶
The base pilot for multilevel algorithms.
- class gemseo_umdo.statistics.multilevel.pilot.Pilot(sampling_ratios, costs)[source]¶
Bases:
objectThe base pilot for multilevel algorithms.
A pilot is associated with a statistic, e.g. mean. The method [compute_next_level_and_statistic()][gemseo_umdo.statistics.multilevel.pilot.Pilot.compute_next_level_and_statistic] returns a multilevel estimation of the statistic based on the current samples and the next level $ell^*$ of the telescopic sum to sample in order to improve this estimation.
This level $ell^*$ maximizes the criterion
$$frac{mathcal{V}_ell} {r_ell n_ell^2(mathcal{C}_ell+mathcal{C}_{ell-1})}$$
where $mathcal{C}_{ell}$ is the unit evaluation cost of the model $f_ell$ (with $mathcal{C}_{-1}=0$), $n_ell$ is the current number of evaluations of $f_ell$ and $r_ell$ is the factor by which $n_ell$ would be increased by choosing the level $ell$. Regarding $mathcal{V}_ell$, it represents the variance of the $ell$-th term of the telescopic sum characteristic of the MLMC techniques. For instance, $mathcal{V}_ell=mathbb{E}[Y_ell-Y_{ell}]$ in the case of the expectation.

- Parameters:
sampling_ratios (NDArray[float]) – The sampling ratios $r_0,ldots,r_L$; the sampling ratio $r_ell$ is the factor by which $n_ell$ is increased between two sampling steps on the level $ell$.
costs (NDArray[float]) – The unit sampling costs of each level of the telescopic sum. Namely, $(mathcal{C}_{ell-1}+mathcal{C}_ell)_{ellin{0,ldots,L}}$ with $mathcal{C}_{-1}=0$.
- compute_next_level_and_statistic(levels, total_n_samples, samples, *pilot_parameters)[source]¶
Compute the next level $ell^*$ to sample and estimate the statistic.
- Parameters:
levels (Iterable[int]) – The levels that have just been sampled.
total_n_samples (ndarray[Any, dtype[int]]) – The total number of samples of each level.
samples (Sequence[ndarray[Any, dtype[float]]]) – The samples of the different quantities of each level.
*pilot_parameters (Any) – The parameters of the pilot.
- Returns:
The next level $ell^*$ to sample and an estimation of the statistic.
- Return type:
tuple[int, numpy.ndarray[Any, numpy.dtype[float]]]
