aoptimality_criterion

pyapprox.optimal_experimental_design.aoptimality_criterion(homog_outer_prods, design_factors, design_prob_measure, return_grad=True, noise_multiplier=None, regression_type='lstsq')[source]

Evaluate the A-optimality criterion for a given design probability measure for the linear model

\[y(x) = F(x)\theta+\eta(x)\epsilon.\]

The criteria is

\[\mathrm{trace}[ C(\mu) ]\]

where

\[C(\mu) = M_1^{-1} M_0 M^{-1}\]
Parameters
homog_outer_prodsnp.ndarray (num_design_factors,num_design_factors,

num_design_pts)

The hessian M_1 of the error for each design point

design_factorsnp.ndarray (num_design_pts,num_design_factors)

The design factors evaluated at each of the design points

design_prob_measurenp.ndarray (num_design_pts)

The prob measure \(\mu\) on the design points

return_gradboolean

True - return the value and gradient of the criterion False - return only the value of the criterion

noise_multipliernp.ndarray (num_design_pts)

The design dependent noise function \(\eta(x)\)

regression_typestring

The method used to compute the coefficients of the linear model. Currently supported options are lstsq and quantile.

Returns
valuefloat

The value of the objective function

gradnp.ndarray (num_design_pts)

The gradient of the objective function. Only if return_grad is True.
