class pyemma.msm.BayesianMSM(lag=1, nsamples=100, nsteps=None, reversible=True, statdist_constraint=None, count_mode='effective', sparse=False, connectivity='largest', dt_traj='1 step', conf=0.95, show_progress=True, mincount_connectivity='1/n')¶

Bayesian Markov state model estimator

__init__(lag=1, nsamples=100, nsteps=None, reversible=True, statdist_constraint=None, count_mode='effective', sparse=False, connectivity='largest', dt_traj='1 step', conf=0.95, show_progress=True, mincount_connectivity='1/n')¶

Bayesian estimator for MSMs given discrete trajectory statistics

Parameters

lag (int, optional, default=1) – lagtime to estimate the HMSM at
nsamples (int, optional, default=100) – number of sampled transition matrices used
nsteps (int, optional, default=None) – number of Gibbs sampling steps for each transition matrix used. If None, nstep will be determined automatically
reversible (bool, optional, default = True) – If true compute reversible MSM, else non-reversible MSM
statdist_constraint ((M,) ndarray optional) – Stationary vector on the full set of states. Assign zero stationary probabilities to states for which the stationary vector is unknown. Estimation will be made such that the resulting ensemble of transition matrices is defined on the intersection of the states with positive stationary vector and the largest connected set (undirected).
count_mode (str, optional, default='effective') –
mode to obtain count matrices from discrete trajectories. Should be one of:
- ’sliding’ : A trajectory of length T will have \(T-\tau\) counts at time indexes .. math:: (0 rightarray tau), (1 rightarray tau+1), …, (T-tau-1 rightarray T-1)
- ’effective’ : Uses an estimate of the transition counts that are statistically uncorrelated. Recommended when used with a Bayesian MSM.
- ’sample’ : A trajectory of length T will have \(T / \tau\) counts at time indexes .. math:: (0 rightarray tau), (tau rightarray 2 tau), …, (((T/tau)-1) tau rightarray T)
sparse (bool, optional, default = False) – If true compute count matrix, transition matrix and all derived quantities using sparse matrix algebra. In this case python sparse matrices will be returned by the corresponding functions instead of numpy arrays. This behavior is suggested for very large numbers of states (e.g. > 4000) because it is likely to be much more efficient.
connectivity (str, optional, default = 'largest') –
Connectivity mode. Three methods are intended (currently only ‘largest’ is implemented)
- ’largest’ : The active set is the largest reversibly connected set. All estimation will be done on this subset and all quantities
  
  (transition matrix, stationary distribution, etc) are only defined on this subset and are correspondingly smaller than the full set of states
- ’all’ : The active set is the full set of states. Estimation will be conducted on each reversibly connected set separately. That means the transition matrix will decompose into disconnected submatrices, the stationary vector is only defined within subsets, etc. Currently not implemented.
- ’none’ : The active set is the full set of states. Estimation will be conducted on the full set of states without ensuring connectivity. This only permits nonreversible estimation. Currently not implemented.
dt_traj (str, optional, default='1 step') –
Description of the physical time corresponding to the trajectory time step. May be used by analysis algorithms such as plotting tools to pretty-print the axes. By default ‘1 step’, i.e. there is no physical time unit. Specify by a number, whitespace and unit. Permitted units are (* is an arbitrary string):

’fs’, ‘femtosecond*’

’ps’, ‘picosecond*’

’ns’, ‘nanosecond*’

’us’, ‘microsecond*’

’ms’, ‘millisecond*’

’s’, ‘second*’
conf (float, optional, default=0.95) – Confidence interval. By default one-sigma (68.3%) is used. Use 95.4% for two sigma or 99.7% for three sigma.
show_progress (bool, default=True) – Show progressbars for calculation?
mincount_connectivity (float or '1/n') – minimum number of counts to consider a connection between two states. Counts lower than that will count zero in the connectivity check and may thus separate the resulting transition matrix. The default evaluates to 1/nstates.

correlation(a, b=None, maxtime=None, k=None, ncv=None)¶

Time-correlation for equilibrium experiment.

In order to simulate a time-correlation experiment (e.g. fluorescence correlation spectroscopy [NDD11], dynamical neutron scattering [LYP13], …), first compute the mean values of your experimental observable \(a\) by MSM state:

\[a_i = \frac{1}{N_i} \sum_{x_t \in S_i} f(x_t)\]

where \(S_i\) is the set of configurations belonging to MSM state \(i\) and \(f()\) is a function that computes the experimental observable of interest for configuration \(x_t\). If a cross-correlation function is wanted, also apply the above computation to a second experimental observable \(b\).

Then the accurate (i.e. without statistical error) autocorrelation function of \(f(x_t)\) given the Markov model is computed by correlation(a), and the accurate cross-correlation function is computed by correlation(a,b). This is done by evaluating the equation

\[\begin{split}acf_a(k\tau) &= \mathbf{a}^\top \mathrm{diag}(\boldsymbol{\pi}) \mathbf{P(\tau)}^k \mathbf{a} \\ ccf_{a,b}(k\tau) &= \mathbf{a}^\top \mathrm{diag}(\boldsymbol{\pi}) \mathbf{P(\tau)}^k \mathbf{b}\end{split}\]

where \(acf\) stands for autocorrelation function and \(ccf\) stands for cross-correlation function, \(\mathbf{P(\tau)}\) is the transition matrix at lag time \(\tau\), \(\boldsymbol{\pi}\) is the equilibrium distribution of \(\mathbf{P}\), and \(k\) is the time index.

Note that instead of using this method you could generate a long synthetic trajectory from the MSM and then estimating the time-correlation of your observable(s) directly from this trajectory. However, there is no reason to do this because the present method does that calculation without any sampling, and only in the limit of an infinitely long synthetic trajectory the two results will agree exactly. The correlation function computed by the present method still has statistical uncertainty from the fact that the underlying MSM transition matrix has statistical uncertainty when being estimated from data, but there is no additional (and unnecessary) uncertainty due to synthetic trajectory generation.

Parameters

a ((n,) ndarray) – Observable, represented as vector on state space
maxtime (int or float) – Maximum time (in units of the input trajectory time step) until which the correlation function will be evaluated. Internally, the correlation function can only be computed in integer multiples of the Markov model lag time, and therefore the actual last time point will be computed at \(\mathrm{ceil}(\mathrm{maxtime} / \tau)\) By default (None), the maxtime will be set equal to the 5 times the slowest relaxation time of the MSM, because after this time the signal is almost constant.
b ((n,) ndarray (optional)) – Second observable, for cross-correlations
k (int (optional)) – Number of eigenvalues and eigenvectors to use for computation. This option is only relevant for sparse matrices and long times for which an eigenvalue decomposition will be done instead of using the matrix power.
ncv (int (optional)) – Only relevant for sparse matrices and large lag times where the relaxation will be computed using an eigenvalue decomposition. The number of Lanczos vectors generated, ncv must be greater than k; it is recommended that ncv > 2*k.

Returns

times (ndarray (N)) – Time points (in units of the input trajectory time step) at which the correlation has been computed
correlations (ndarray (N)) – Correlation values at given times

Examples

This example computes the autocorrelation function of a simple observable on a three-state Markov model and plots the result using matplotlib:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import pyemma.msm as msm
>>>
>>> P = np.array([[0.99, 0.01, 0], [0.01, 0.9, 0.09], [0, 0.1, 0.9]])
>>> a = np.array([0.0, 0.5, 1.0])
>>> M = msm.markov_model(P)
>>> times, acf = M.correlation(a)
>>>
>>> import matplotlib.pylab as plt
>>> plt.plot(times, acf)  # doctest: +SKIP

count_matrix_active¶

The count matrix on the active set given the connectivity mode used.

For example, for connectivity=’largest’, the count matrix is given only on the largest reversibly connected set. Attention: This count matrix has been obtained by sliding a window of length tau across the data. It contains a factor of tau more counts than are statistically uncorrelated. It’s fine to use this matrix for maximum likelihood estimated, but it will give far too small errors if you use it for uncertainty calculations. In order to do uncertainty calculations, use the effective count matrix, see: effective_count_matrix

See also

effective_count_matrix: For a count matrix with effective (statistically uncorrelated) counts.

count_matrix_full¶

The count matrix on full set of discrete states, irrespective as to whether they are connected or not. Attention: This count matrix has been obtained by sliding a window of length tau across the data. It contains a factor of tau more counts than are statistically uncorrelated. It’s fine to use this matrix for maximum likelihood estimated, but it will give far too small errors if you use it for uncertainty calculations. In order to do uncertainty calculations, use the effective count matrix, see: effective_count_matrix (only implemented on the active set), or divide this count matrix by tau.

This is only recommended for visualization purposes. You cannot compute any actual quantity of the coarse-grained kinetics without employing the fuzzy memberships!

Returns: sets – A list of length equal to metastable states. Each element is an array with microstate indexes contained in it
Return type: list of ndarray

mfpt(A, B)¶

Mean first passage times from set A to set B, in units of the input trajectory time step

Parameters

A (int or int array) – set of starting states
B (int or int array) – set of target states

model¶: The model estimated by this Estimator

n_jobs¶

Returns number of jobs/threads to use during assignment of data.

Returns

If None it will return the setting of ‘PYEMMA_NJOBS’ or
’SLURM_CPUS_ON_NODE’ environment variable. If none of these environment variables exist,
the number of processors /or cores is returned.

Notes

This setting will effectively be multiplied by the the number of threads used by NumPy for algorithms which use multiple processes. So take care if you choose this manually.

n_metastable¶: Number of states chosen for PCCA++ computation.

name¶: The name of this instance

neig¶: number of eigenvalues to compute.

nstates¶: Number of active states on which all computations and estimations are done

nstates_full¶: Number of states in discrete trajectories

pcca(m)¶

Runs PCCA++ [1]_ to compute a metastable decomposition of MSM states

After calling this method you can access metastable_memberships(), metastable_distributions(), metastable_sets() and metastable_assignments().

Parameters: m (int) – Number of metastable sets
Returns: pcca_obj – An object containing all PCCA quantities. However, you can also ignore this return value and instead retrieve the quantities of your interest with the following MSM functions: metastable_memberships(), metastable_distributions(), metastable_sets() and metastable_assignments().
Return type: PCCA

Notes

If you coarse grain with PCCA++, the order of the obtained memberships might not be preserved. This also applies for metastable_memberships(), metastable_distributions(), metastable_sets(), metastable_assignments()

pi¶: The stationary distribution on the MSM states

propagate(p0, k)¶

Propagates the initial distribution p0 k times

Computes the product

\[p_k = p_0^T P^k\]

If the lag time of transition matrix \(P\) is \(\tau\), this will provide the probability distribution at time \(k \tau\).

Parameters

p0 (ndarray(n,)) – Initial distribution. Vector of size of the active set.
k (int) – Number of time steps

Returns

pk – Distribution after k steps. Vector of size of the active set.

Return type

ndarray(n,)

relaxation(p0, a, maxtime=None, k=None, ncv=None)¶

Simulates a perturbation-relaxation experiment.

In perturbation-relaxation experiments such as temperature-jump, pH-jump, pressure jump or rapid mixing experiments, an ensemble of molecules is initially prepared in an off-equilibrium distribution and the expectation value of some experimental observable is then followed over time as the ensemble relaxes towards equilibrium.

In order to simulate such an experiment, first determine the distribution of states at which the experiment is started, \(p_0\) and compute the mean values of your experimental observable \(a\) by MSM state:

\[a_i = \frac{1}{N_i} \sum_{x_t \in S_i} f(x_t)\]

where \(S_i\) is the set of configurations belonging to MSM state \(i\) and \(f()\) is a function that computes the experimental observable of interest for configuration \(x_t\).

Then the accurate (i.e. without statistical error) time-dependent expectation value of \(f(x_t)\) given the Markov model is computed by relaxation(p0, a). This is done by evaluating the equation

\[E_a(k\tau) = \mathbf{p_0}^{\top} \mathbf{P(\tau)}^k \mathbf{a}\]

where \(E\) stands for the expectation value that relaxes to its equilibrium value that is identical to expectation(a), \(\mathbf{P(\tau)}\) is the transition matrix at lag time \(\tau\), \(\boldsymbol{\pi}\) is the equilibrium distribution of \(\mathbf{P}\), and \(k\) is the time index.

Note that instead of using this method you could generate many synthetic trajectory from the MSM with starting points drawn from the initial distribution and then estimating the time-dependent expectation value by an ensemble average. However, there is no reason to do this because the present method does that calculation without any sampling, and only in the limit of an infinitely many trajectories the two results will agree exactly. The relaxation function computed by the present method still has statistical uncertainty from the fact that the underlying MSM transition matrix has statistical uncertainty when being estimated from data, but there is no additional (and unnecessary) uncertainty due to synthetic trajectory generation.

Parameters

p0 ((n,) ndarray) – Initial distribution for a relaxation experiment
a ((n,) ndarray) – Observable, represented as vector on state space
maxtime (int or float, optional) – Maximum time (in units of the input trajectory time step) until which the correlation function will be evaluated. Internally, the correlation function can only be computed in integer multiples of the Markov model lag time, and therefore the actual last time point will be computed at \(\mathrm{ceil}(\mathrm{maxtime} / \tau)\). By default (None), the maxtime will be set equal to the 5 times the slowest relaxation time of the MSM, because after this time the signal is constant.
k (int (optional)) – Number of eigenvalues and eigenvectors to use for computation
ncv (int (optional)) – Only relevant for sparse matrices and large lag times, where the relaxation will be computes using an eigenvalue decomposition. The number of Lanczos vectors generated, ncv must be greater than k; it is recommended that ncv > 2*k

Returns

times (ndarray (N)) – Time points (in units of the input trajectory time step) at which the relaxation has been computed
res (ndarray) – Array of expectation value at given times

reversible¶: Returns whether the MSM is reversible

start (int, optional, default = None) – starting hidden state. If not given, will sample from the stationary distribution of the hidden transition matrix.
stop (int or int-array-like, optional, default = None) – stopping hidden set. If given, the trajectory will be stopped before N steps once a hidden state of the stop set is reached

trajectory_weights()¶

Uses the MSM to assign a probability weight to each trajectory frame.

This is a powerful function for the calculation of arbitrary observables in the trajectories one has started the analysis with. The stationary probability of the MSM will be used to reweigh all states. Returns a list of weight arrays, one for each trajectory, and with a number of elements equal to trajectory frames. Given \(N\) trajectories of lengths \(T_1\) to \(T_N\), this function returns corresponding weights:

\[(w_{1,1}, ..., w_{1,T_1}), (w_{N,1}, ..., w_{N,T_N})\]

that are normalized to one:

\[\sum_{i=1}^N \sum_{t=1}^{T_i} w_{i,t} = 1\]

Suppose you are interested in computing the expectation value of a function \(a(x)\), where \(x\) are your input configurations. Use this function to compute the weights of all input configurations and obtain the estimated expectation by:

\[\langle a \rangle = \sum_{i=1}^N \sum_{t=1}^{T_i} w_{i,t} a(x_{i,t})\]

Or if you are interested in computing the time-lagged correlation between functions \(a(x)\) and \(b(x)\) you could do:

\[\langle a(t) b(t+\tau) \rangle_t = \sum_{i=1}^N \sum_{t=1}^{T_i} w_{i,t} a(x_{i,t}) a(x_{i,t+\tau})\]

Returns

weights – The normalized trajectory weights. Given \(N\) trajectories of lengths \(T_1\) to \(T_N\), returns the corresponding weights:

\[(w_{1,1}, ..., w_{1,T_1}), (w_{N,1}, ..., w_{N,T_N})\]
