pyemma.thermo.mbar(ttrajs, dtrajs, bias, maxiter=100000, maxerr=1e-15, save_convergence_info=0, dt_traj='1 step', direct_space=False)

Multi-state Bennet acceptance ratio

Parameters

  • ttrajs (numpy.ndarray(T) of int, or list of numpy.ndarray(T_i) of int) – A single discrete trajectory or a list of discrete trajectories. The integers are indexes in 0,…,num_therm_states-1 enumerating the thermodynamic states the trajectory is in at any time.

  • dtrajs (numpy.ndarray(T) of int, or list of numpy.ndarray(T_i) of int) – A single discrete trajectory or a list of discrete trajectories. The integers are indexes in 0,…,num_conf_states-1 enumerating the num_conf_states Markov states or the bins the trajectory is in at any time.

  • bias (numpy.ndarray(T, num_therm_states), or list of numpy.ndarray(T_i, num_therm_states)) – A single reduced bias energy trajectory or a list of reduced bias energy trajectories. For every simulation frame seen in trajectory i and time step t, btrajs[i][t, k] is the reduced bias energy of that frame evaluated in the k’th thermodynamic state (i.e. at the k’th umbrella/Hamiltonian/temperature)

  • maxiter (int, optional, default=10000) – The maximum number of dTRAM iterations before the estimator exits unsuccessfully.

  • maxerr (float, optional, default=1e-15) – Convergence criterion based on the maximal free energy change in a self-consistent iteration step.

  • save_convergence_info (int, optional, default=0) – Every save_convergence_info iteration steps, store the actual increment and the actual loglikelihood; 0 means no storage.

  • dt_traj (str, optional, default='1 step') –

    Description of the physical time corresponding to the lag. 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*’

  • direct_space (bool, optional, default=False) – Whether to perform the self-consitent iteration with Boltzmann factors (direct space) or free energies (log-space). When analyzing data from multi-temperature simulations, direct-space is not recommended.

Returns

A stationary model which consists of thermodynamic quantities at all temperatures/thermodynamic states.

Return type

A MultiThermModel object

Example

Umbrella sampling: Suppose we simulate in K umbrellas, centered at positions \(y_0,...,y_{K-1}\) with bias energies

\[b_k(x) = \frac{c_k}{2 \textrm{kT}} \cdot (x - y_k)^2\]

Suppose we have one simulation of length T in each umbrella, and they are ordered from 0 to K-1. We have discretized the x-coordinate into 100 bins. Then dtrajs and ttrajs should each be a list of \(K\) arrays. dtrajs would look for example like this:

[ (0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...),  (0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, ...), ... ]

where each array has length T, and is the sequence of bins (in the range 0 to 99) visited along the trajectory. ttrajs would look like this:

[ (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...),  (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...), ... ]

Because trajectory 1 stays in umbrella 1 (index 0), trajectory 2 stays in umbrella 2 (index 1), and so forth.

The bias would be a list of \(T \times K\) arrays which specify each frame’s bias energy in all thermodynamic states:

[ ((0, 1.7, 2.3, 6.1, …), …), ((0, 2.4, 3.1, 9,5, …), …), … ]

Let us try the above example:

>>> from pyemma.thermo import mbar
>>> import numpy as np
>>> ttrajs = [np.array([0,0,0,0,0,0,0]), np.array([1,1,1,1,1,1,1])]
>>> dtrajs = [np.array([0,0,0,0,1,1,1]), np.array([0,1,0,1,0,1,1])]
>>> bias = [np.array([[1,0],[1,0],[0,0],[0,0],[0,0],[0,0],[0,0]],dtype=np.float64), np.array([[1,0],[0,0],[0,0],[1,0],[0,0],[1,0],[1,0]],dtype=np.float64)]
>>> mbar_obj = mbar(ttrajs, dtrajs, bias, maxiter=1000000, maxerr=1.0E-14)
>>> mbar_obj.stationary_distribution 
array([ 0.5...  0.5...])

class pyemma.thermo.models.multi_therm.MultiThermModel(*args, **kwargs)

Coupled set of stationary models at multiple thermodynamic states

Methods

expectation(a)

Equilibrium expectation value of a given observable.

get_model_params([deep])

Get parameters for this model.

load(file_name[, model_name])

Loads a previously saved PyEMMA object from disk.

meval(f, *args, **kw)

Evaluates the given function call for all models Returns the results of the calls in a list

save(file_name[, model_name, overwrite, …])

saves the current state of this object to given file and name.

set_model_params([models, f_therm, pi, f, label])

Call to set all basic model parameters.

update_model_params(**params)

Update given model parameter if they are set to specific values

Attributes

meval(f, *args, **kw)

Evaluates the given function call for all models Returns the results of the calls in a list

set_model_params(models=None, f_therm=None, pi=None, f=None, label='ground state')

Call to set all basic model parameters.

Parameters

  • pi (ndarray(n)) – Stationary distribution. If not already normalized, pi will be scaled to fulfill \(\sum_i \pi_i = 1\). The free energies f will then be computed from pi via \(f_i = - \log(\pi_i)\).

  • f (ndarray(n)) – Discrete-state free energies. If normalized_f = True, a constant will be added to normalize the stationary distribution. Otherwise f is left as given. Then, pi will be computed from f via \(\pi_i = \exp(-f_i)\) and, if necessary, scaled to fulfill \(\sum_i \pi_i = 1\). If both (pi and f) are given, f takes precedence over pi.

  • normalize_energy (bool, default=True) – If parametrized by free energy f, normalize them such that \(\sum_i \pi_i = 1\), which is achieved by \(\log \sum_i \exp(-f_i) = 0\).

  • label (str, default=None) – Human-readable description for the thermodynamic state of this model. May contain a temperature description, such as ‘300 K’ or a description of bias energy such as ‘unbiased’ or ‘Umbrella 1’.

property unbiased_state

Index of the unbiased thermodynamic state.
