pyemma.coordinates.transform.TICA¶

class pyemma.coordinates.transform.TICA(lag, dim=-1, var_cutoff=0.95, kinetic_map=True, epsilon=1e-06, mean=None, stride=1, remove_mean=True, skip=0)¶

Time-lagged independent component analysis (TICA)

__init__(lag, dim=-1, var_cutoff=0.95, kinetic_map=True, epsilon=1e-06, mean=None, stride=1, remove_mean=True, skip=0)¶

Time-lagged independent component analysis (TICA) [1], [2], [3].

Parameters:

lag (int) – lag time
dim (int, optional, default -1) – Maximum number of significant independent components to use to reduce dimension of input data. -1 means all numerically available dimensions (see epsilon) 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
kinetic_map (bool, optional, default True) – Eigenvectors will be scaled by eigenvalues. As a result, Euclidean distances in the transformed data approximate kinetic distances [4]. This is a good choice when the data is further processed by clustering.
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.
mean (ndarray, optional, default None) – This option is deprecated
remove_mean (bool, optional, default True) – remove mean during covariance estimation. Should not be turned off.
skip (int, default=0) – skip the first initial n frames per trajectory.

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

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

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

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

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

ra_itraj_cuboid¶

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 an object that allows access by slices in the described manner.

ra_itraj_jagged¶

Behaves like ra_itraj_cuboid just that the trajectories are not truncated and returned as a list.

Returns:	Returns an object that allows access by slices in the described manner.

ra_itraj_linear¶

Implementation of random access that takes arguments as the default random access (i.e., up to three dimensions with trajs, frames and dims, respectively), but which considers the frame indexing to be contiguous. Therefore, it returns a simple 2D array.

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. Here it is assumed that the frame indexing is contiguous, i.e., the first frame of the second trajectory has the index of the last frame of the first trajectory plus one.

Returns:	Returns an object that allows access by slices in the described manner.

register_progress_callback(call_back, stage=0)¶

Registers the progress reporter.

Parameters:	call_back (function) – This function will be called with the following arguments: stage (int) instance of pyemma.utils.progressbar.ProgressBar optional args and named keywords (kw), for future changes stage* (int, optional, default=0) – The stage you want the given call back function to be fired.

set_params(**params)¶: Set the parameters of this estimator. The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The former have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object. :returns: :rtype: self

show_progress¶: whether to show the progress of heavy calculations on this object.

timescales¶

Implied timescales of the TICA transformation

For each \(i\)-th eigenvalue, this returns

\[t_i = -\frac{\tau}{\log(|\lambda_i|)}\]

where \(\tau\) is the lag of the TICA object and \(\lambda_i\) is the i-th eigenvalue of the TICA object.

Returns:	timescales – numpy array with the implied timescales. In principle, one should expect as many timescales as input coordinates were available. However, less eigenvalues will be returned if the TICA matrices were not full rank or `var_cutoff` was parsed
Return type:	1D np.array

trajectory_length(itraj, stride=1, skip=None)¶

Returns the length of trajectory of the requested index.

Parameters:	itraj (int) – trajectory index stride (int) – return value is the number of frames in the trajectory when running through it with a step size of stride.
Returns:	int
Return type:	length of trajectory

trajectory_lengths(stride=1, skip=0)¶

Returns the length of each trajectory.

Parameters:	stride (int) – return value is the number of frames of the trajectories when running through them with a step size of stride. skip (int) – skip parameter
Returns:	array(dtype=int)
Return type:	containing length of each trajectory

transform(X)¶

Maps the input data through the transformer to correspondingly shaped output data array/list.

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.
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
Return type:	ndarray(T, d) or list of ndarray(T_i, d)

Parameters:

filename (str, optional) –

- stride is stride argument of this method
If filename is not given, it is being tried to obtain the filenames from the data source of this iterator.

Example

Assume you want to save features calculated by some FeatureReader to ASCII:

>>> from pyemma.util.files import TemporaryDirectory
>>> import os
>>> data = [np.random.random((10,3))] * 3
>>> reader = pyemma.coordinates.source(data)
>>> filename = "distances_{itraj}.dat"
>>> with TemporaryDirectory() as td:
...    os.chdir(td)
...    reader.write_to_csv(filename, header='', delimiter=';')
...    print(os.listdir('.'))
['distances_2.dat', 'distances_1.dat', 'distances_0.dat']
