pyemma.coordinates.transform.TICA

class pyemma.coordinates.transform.TICA(lag, output_dimension, epsilon=1e-06, force_eigenvalues_le_one=False)

Time-lagged independent component analysis (TICA)

Parameters:
  • tau (int) – lag time
  • output_dimension (int) – how many significant TICS to use to reduce dimension of input data
  • epsilon (float) – eigenvalue norm cutoff. Eigenvalues of C0 with norms <= epsilon will be cut off. The remaining number of eigenvalues define the size of the output.
  • force_eigenvalues_le_one (boolean) – Compute covariance matrix and time-lagged covariance matrix such that the generalized eigenvalues are always guaranteed to be <= 1.

Notes

Given a sequence of multivariate data \(X_t\), computes the mean-free covariance and time-lagged covariance matrix:

\[\begin{split}C_0 &= (X_t - \mu)^T (X_t - \mu) \\ C_{\tau} &= (X_t - \mu)^T (X_t + \tau - \mu)\end{split}\]

and solves the eigenvalue problem

\[C_{\tau} r_i = C_0 \lambda_i r_i,\]

where \(r_i\) are the independent components and \(\lambda_i\) are their respective normalized time-autocorrelations. The eigenvalues are related to the relaxation timescale by

\[t_i = -\tau / \ln |\lambda_i|.\]

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

feature_TIC_correlation

Instantaneous correlation matrix between input features and TICs

Denoting the input features as \(X_i\) and the TICs as \(\theta_j\), the instantaneous, linear correlation between them can be written as

\[\mathbf{Corr}(X_i, \mathbf{\theta}_j) = \frac{1}{\sigma_{X_i}}\sum_l \sigma_{X_iX_l} \mathbf{U}_{li}\]

The matrix \(\mathbf{U}\) is the matrix containing, as column vectors, the eigenvectors of the TICA generalized eigenvalue problem .

Returns:feature_TIC_correlation – correlation matrix between input features and TICs. There is a row for each feature and a column for each TIC.
Return type:ndarray(n,m)
get_output(dimensions=slice(0, None, None), stride=1)

Maps all input data of this transformer and returns it as an array or list of arrays.

Parameters:
  • dimensions (list-like of indexes or slice) – indices of dimensions you like to keep, default = all
  • stride (int) – only take every n’th frame, default = 1
Returns:

output – the mapped data, where T is the number of time steps of the input data, or if stride > 1, floor(T_in / stride). d is the output dimension of this transformer. If the input consists of a list of trajectories, Y will also be a corresponding list of trajectories

Return type:

ndarray(T, d) or list of ndarray(T_i, d)

Notes

  • This function may be RAM intensive if stride is too large or too many dimensions are selected.
  • if in_memory attribute is True, then results of this methods are cached.

Example

plotting trajectories

>>> import pyemma.coordinates as coor
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> %matplotlib inline # only for ipython notebook
>>>
>>> tica = coor.tica() # fill with some actual data!
>>> trajs = tica.get_output(dimensions=(0,), stride=100)
>>> for traj in trajs:
>>>     plt.figure()
>>>     plt.plot(traj[:, 0])
in_memory

are results stored in memory?

iterator(stride=1, lag=0)

Returns an iterator that allows to access the transformed data.

Parameters:
  • stride (int) – Only transform every N’th frame, default = 1
  • lag (int) – Configure the iterator such that it will return time-lagged data with a lag time of lag. If lag is used together with stride the operation will work as if the striding operation is applied before the time-lagged trajectory is shifted by lag steps. Therefore the effective lag time will be stride*lag.
Returns:

iterator – If lag = 0, a call to the .next() method of this iterator will return the pair (itraj, X) : (int, ndarray(n, m)), where itraj corresponds to input sequence number (eg. trajectory index) and X is the transformed data, n = chunksize or n < chunksize at end of input.

If lag > 0, a call to the .next() method of this iterator will return the tuple (itraj, X, Y) : (int, ndarray(n, m), ndarray(p, m)) where itraj and X are the same as above and Y contain the time-lagged data.

Return type:

a pyemma.coordinates.transfrom.TransformerIterator transformer iterator

Parameters:X (ndarray(T, n) or list of ndarray(T_i, n)) – The input data, where T is the number of time steps and n is the number of dimensions. If a list is provided, the number of time steps is allowed to vary, but the number of dimensions are required to be to be consistent. required to be to be consistent.
Returns:Y – The mapped data, where T is the number of time steps of the input data and d is the output dimension of this transformer. If called with a list of trajectories, Y will also be a corresponding list of trajectories
