vorob_optim_parallel: Parallel Vorob'ev criterion

In KrigInv: Kriging-Based Inversion for Deterministic and Noisy Computer Experiments

Parallel Vorob'ev criterion

Description

Evaluation of the parallel Vorob'ev criterion for some candidate points. To be used in optimization routines, like in max_vorob_parallel. To avoid numerical instabilities, the new points are evaluated only if they are not too close to an existing observation, or if there is some observation noise. The criterion is the integral of the posterior Vorob'ev uncertainty.

Usage

vorob_optim_parallel(x, integration.points, integration.weights = NULL,
intpoints.oldmean, intpoints.oldsd,
precalc.data, model, T,
new.noise.var = NULL, batchsize, alpha, current.vorob,
penalisation=NULL,typeEx=">")

Arguments

x	Input vector of size batchsize*d at which one wants to evaluate the criterion. This argument is NOT a matrix.
integration.points	p*d matrix of points for numerical integration in the X space.
integration.weights	Vector of size p corresponding to the weights of these integration points.
intpoints.oldmean	Vector of size p corresponding to the kriging mean at the integration points before adding the batchsize points x to the design of experiments.
intpoints.oldsd	Vector of size p corresponding to the kriging standard deviation at the integration points before adding the batchsize points x to the design of experiments.
precalc.data	List containing useful data to compute quickly the updated kriging variance. This list can be generated using the precomputeUpdateData function.
model	Object of class km (Kriging model).
T	Target value (scalar). The criterion CANNOT be used with multiple thresholds.
new.noise.var	Optional scalar value of the noise variance for the new observations.
batchsize	Number of points to sample simultaneously. The sampling criterion will return batchsize points at a time for sampling.
alpha	The Vorob'ev threshold.
current.vorob	Current value of the vorob criterion (before adding new observations)
penalisation	Optional penalization constant for type I errors. If equal to zero, computes the Type II criterion.
typeEx	A character (">" or "<") identifying the type of excursion

Details

The first argument x has been chosen to be a vector of size batchsize*d (and not a matrix with batchsize rows and d columns) so that an optimizer like genoud can optimize it easily. For example if d=2, batchsize=3 and x=c(0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6), we will evaluate the parallel criterion at the three points (0.1,0.2),(0.3,0.4) and (0.5,0.6).

Value
