pyemma.coordinates.pca(data=None, dim=-1, var_cutoff=0.95, stride=1, mean=None, skip=0, chunksize=None, **kwargs)

Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

PCA is a linear transformation method that finds coordinates of maximal variance. A linear projection onto the principal components thus makes a minimal error in terms of variation in the data. Note, however, that this method is not optimal for Markov model construction because for that purpose the main objective is to preserve the slow processes which can sometimes be associated with small variance.

It estimates a PCA transformation from data. When input data is given as an argument, the estimation will be carried out right away, and the resulting object can be used to obtain eigenvalues, eigenvectors or project input data onto the principal components. If data is not given, this object is an empty estimator and can be put into a pipeline() in order to use PCA in streaming mode.

Parameters
  • data (ndarray (T, d) or list of ndarray (T_i, d) or a reader created by) – source function data array or list of data arrays. T or T_i are the number of time steps in a trajectory. When data is given, the PCA is immediately parametrized by estimating the covariance matrix and computing its eigenvectors.

  • dim (int, optional, default -1) – the number of dimensions (principal components) to project onto. A call to the map function reduces the d-dimensional input to only dim dimensions such that the data preserves the maximum possible variance amongst dim-dimensional linear projections. -1 means all numerically available dimensions will be used unless reduced by var_cutoff. Setting dim to a positive value is exclusive with var_cutoff.

  • var_cutoff (float in the range [0,1], optional, default 0.95) – Determines the number of output dimensions by including dimensions until their cumulative kinetic variance exceeds the fraction subspace_variance. var_cutoff=1.0 means all numerically available dimensions (see epsilon) will be used, unless set by dim. Setting var_cutoff smaller than 1.0 is exclusive with dim

  • stride (int, optional, default = 1) – If set to 1, all input data will be used for estimation. Note that this could cause this calculation to be very slow for large data sets. Since molecular dynamics data is usually correlated at short timescales, it is often sufficient to estimate transformations at a longer stride. Note that the stride option in the get_output() function of the returned object is independent, so you can parametrize at a long stride, and still map all frames through the transformer.

  • mean (ndarray, optional, default None) – Optionally pass pre-calculated means to avoid their re-computation. The shape has to match the input dimension.

  • skip (int, default=0) – skip the first initial n frames per trajectory.

  • chunksize (int, default=None) – Number of data frames to process at once. Choose a higher value here, to optimize thread usage and gain processing speed. If None is passed, use the default value of the underlying reader/data source. Choose zero to disable chunking at all.

Returns

pca – Object for Principle component analysis (PCA) analysis. It contains PCA eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and the projection of input data to the dominant PCA

Return type

a PCA transformation object

Notes

Given a sequence of multivariate data \(X_t\), computes the mean-free covariance matrix.

\[C = (X - \mu)^T (X - \mu)\]

and solves the eigenvalue problem

\[C r_i = \sigma_i r_i,\]

where \(r_i\) are the principal components and \(\sigma_i\) are their respective variances.

When used as a dimension reduction method, the input data is projected onto the dominant principal components.

Implementation of random access with slicing that can be up to 3-dimensional, where the first dimension corresponds to the trajectory index, the second dimension corresponds to the frames and the third dimension corresponds to the dimensions of the frames.

The with the frame slice selected frames will be loaded from each in the trajectory-slice selected trajectories and then sliced with the dimension slice. For example: The data consists out of three trajectories with length 10, 20, 10, respectively. The slice data[:, :15, :3] returns a 3D array of shape (3, 10, 3), where the first component corresponds to the three trajectories, the second component corresponds to 10 frames (note that the last 5 frames are being truncated as the other two trajectories only have 10 frames) and the third component corresponds to the selected first three dimensions.

Returns

Returns

A 2D array of the sliced data containing [frames, dims].

ra_linear

Implementation of random access that takes a (maximal) two-dimensional slice where the first component corresponds to the frames and the second component corresponds to the dimensions.

write_to_hdf5(filename, group='/', data_set_prefix='', overwrite=False, stride=1, chunksize=None, h5_opt=None)

writes all data of this Iterable to a given HDF5 file. This is equivalent of writing the result of func:pyemma.coordinates.data._base.DataSource.get_output to a file.

Parameters
  • filename (str) – file name of output HDF5 file

  • group (str, default='/') – write all trajectories to this HDF5 group. The group name may not already exist in the file.

  • h5_opt (dict) – optional parameters for h5py.create_dataset

Notes

You can pass the following via h5_opt to enable compression/filters/shuffling etc:

chunks

(Tuple) Chunk shape, or True to enable auto-chunking.

maxshape

(Tuple) Make the dataset resizable up to this shape. Use None for axes you want to be unlimited.

compression

(String or int) Compression strategy. Legal values are ‘gzip’, ‘szip’, ‘lzf’. If an integer in range(10), this indicates gzip compression level. Otherwise, an integer indicates the number of a dynamically loaded compression filter.

compression_opts

Compression settings. This is an integer for gzip, 2-tuple for szip, etc. If specifying a dynamically loaded compression filter number, this must be a tuple of values.

scaleoffset

(Integer) Enable scale/offset filter for (usually) lossy compression of integer or floating-point data. For integer data, the value of scaleoffset is the number of bits to retain (pass 0 to let HDF5 determine the minimum number of bits necessary for lossless compression). For floating point data, scaleoffset is the number of digits after the decimal place to retain; stored values thus have absolute error less than 0.5*10**(-scaleoffset).

shuffle

(T/F) Enable shuffle filter. Only effective in combination with chunks.

fletcher32

(T/F) Enable fletcher32 error detection. Not permitted in conjunction with the scale/offset filter.

fillvalue

(Scalar) Use this value for uninitialized parts of the dataset.

track_times

(T/F) Enable dataset creation timestamps.
