pyerrors

What is pyerrors?

pyerrors is a python package for error computation and propagation of Markov chain Monte Carlo data. It is based on the gamma method arXiv:hep-lat/0306017. Some of its features are:

  • automatic differentiation for exact liner error propagation as suggested in arXiv:1809.01289 (partly based on the autograd package).
  • treatment of slow modes in the simulation as suggested in arXiv:1009.5228.
  • coherent error propagation for data from different Markov chains.
  • non-linear fits with x- and y-errors and exact linear error propagation based on automatic differentiation as introduced in arXiv:1809.01289.
  • real and complex matrix operations and their error propagation based on automatic differentiation (Matrix inverse, Cholesky decomposition, calculation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, singular value decomposition...).

There exist similar publicly available implementations of gamma method error analysis suites in Fortran, Julia and Python.

Basic example

import numpy as np
import pyerrors as pe

my_obs = pe.Obs([samples], ['ensemble_name']) # Initialize an Obs object
my_new_obs = 2 * np.log(my_obs) / my_obs ** 2 # Construct derived Obs object
my_new_obs.gamma_method()                     # Estimate the statistical error
print(my_new_obs)                             # Print the result to stdout
> 0.31498(72)

The Obs class

pyerrors introduces a new datatype, Obs, which simplifies error propagation and estimation for auto- and cross-correlated data. An Obs object can be initialized with two arguments, the first is a list containing the samples for an Observable from a Monte Carlo chain. The samples can either be provided as python list or as numpy array. The second argument is a list containing the names of the respective Monte Carlo chains as strings. These strings uniquely identify a Monte Carlo chain/ensemble.

import pyerrors as pe

my_obs = pe.Obs([samples], ['ensemble_name'])

Error propagation

When performing mathematical operations on Obs objects the correct error propagation is intrinsically taken care using a first order Taylor expansion $$\delta_f^i=\sum_\alpha \bar{f}_\alpha \delta_\alpha^i\,,\quad \delta_\alpha^i=a_\alpha^i-\bar{a}_\alpha\,,$$ as introduced in arXiv:hep-lat/0306017. The required derivatives $\bar{f}_\alpha$ are evaluated up to machine precision via automatic differentiation as suggested in arXiv:1809.01289.

The Obs class is designed such that mathematical numpy functions can be used on Obs just as for regular floats.

import numpy as np
import pyerrors as pe

my_obs1 = pe.Obs([samples1], ['ensemble_name'])
my_obs2 = pe.Obs([samples2], ['ensemble_name'])

my_sum = my_obs1 + my_obs2

my_m_eff = np.log(my_obs1 / my_obs2)

iamzero = my_m_eff - my_m_eff
# Check that value and fluctuations are zero within machine precision
print(iamzero == 0.0)
> True

Error estimation

The error estimation within pyerrors is based on the gamma method introduced in arXiv:hep-lat/0306017. After having arrived at the derived quantity of interest the gamma_method can be called as detailed in the following example.

my_sum.gamma_method()
print(my_sum)
> 1.70(57)
my_sum.details()
> Result         1.70000000e+00 +/- 5.72046658e-01 +/- 7.56746598e-02 (33.650%)
>  t_int         2.71422900e+00 +/- 6.40320983e-01 S = 2.00
> 1000 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble_name' : 1000 configurations (from 1 to 1000)

We use the following definition of the integrated autocorrelation time established in Madras & Sokal 1988 $$\tau_\mathrm{int}=\frac{1}{2}+\sum_{t=1}^{W}\rho(t)\geq \frac{1}{2}\,.$$ The window $W$ is determined via the automatic windowing procedure described in arXiv:hep-lat/0306017. The standard value for the parameter $S$ of this automatic windowing procedure is $S=2$. Other values for $S$ can be passed to the gamma_method as parameter.

my_sum.gamma_method(S=3.0)
my_sum.details()
> Result         1.70000000e+00 +/- 6.30675201e-01 +/- 1.04585650e-01 (37.099%)
>  t_int         3.29909703e+00 +/- 9.77310102e-01 S = 3.00
> 1000 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble_name' : 1000 configurations (from 1 to 1000)

The integrated autocorrelation time $\tau_\mathrm{int}$ and the autocorrelation function $\rho(W)$ can be monitored via the methods pyerrors.obs.Obs.plot_tauint and pyerrors.obs.Obs.plot_tauint.

If the parameter $S$ is set to zero it is assumed that dataset does not exhibit any autocorrelation and the windowsize is chosen to be zero. In this case the error estimate is identical to the sample standard error.

Exponential tails

Slow modes in the Monte Carlo history can be accounted for by attaching an exponential tail to the autocorrelation function $\rho$ as suggested in arXiv:1009.5228. The longest autocorrelation time in the history, $\tau_\mathrm{exp}$, can be passed to the gamma_method as parameter. In this case the automatic windowing procedure is vacated and the parameter $S$ does not affect the error estimate.

my_sum.gamma_method(tau_exp=7.2)
my_sum.details()
> Result         1.70000000e+00 +/- 6.28097762e-01 +/- 5.79077524e-02 (36.947%)
>  t_int         3.27218667e+00 +/- 7.99583654e-01 tau_exp = 7.20,  N_sigma = 1
> 1000 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble_name' : 1000 configurations (from 1 to 1000)

For the full API see pyerrors.obs.Obs.gamma_method.

Multiple ensembles/replica

Error propagation for multiple ensembles (Markov chains with different simulation parameters) is handled automatically. Ensembles are uniquely identified by their name.

obs1 = pe.Obs([samples1], ['ensemble1'])
obs2 = pe.Obs([samples2], ['ensemble2'])

my_sum = obs1 + obs2
my_sum.details()
> Result   2.00697958e+00
> 1500 samples in 2 ensembles:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble1' : 1000 configurations (from 1 to 1000)
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble2' : 500 configurations (from 1 to 500)

pyerrors identifies multiple replica (independent Markov chains with identical simulation parameters) by the vertical bar | in the name of the data set.

obs1 = pe.Obs([samples1], ['ensemble1|r01'])
obs2 = pe.Obs([samples2], ['ensemble1|r02'])

> my_sum = obs1 + obs2
> my_sum.details()
> Result   2.00697958e+00
> 1500 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble1'
>     · Replicum 'r01' : 1000 configurations (from 1 to 1000)
>     · Replicum 'r02' : 500 configurations (from 1 to 500)

Error estimation for multiple ensembles

In order to keep track of different error analysis parameters for different ensembles one can make use of global dictionaries as detailed in the following example.

pe.Obs.S_dict['ensemble1'] = 2.5
pe.Obs.tau_exp_dict['ensemble2'] = 8.0
pe.Obs.tau_exp_dict['ensemble3'] = 2.0

In case the gamma_method is called without any parameters it will use the values specified in the dictionaries for the respective ensembles. Passing arguments to the gamma_method still dominates over the dictionaries.

Irregular Monte Carlo chains

Irregular Monte Carlo chains can be initialized with the parameter idl.

# Observable defined on configurations 20 to 519
obs1 = pe.Obs([samples1], ['ensemble1'], idl=[range(20, 520)])
obs1.details()
> Result         9.98319881e-01
> 500 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble1' : 500 configurations (from 20 to 519)

# Observable defined on every second configuration between 5 and 1003
obs2 = pe.Obs([samples2], ['ensemble1'], idl=[range(5, 1005, 2)])
obs2.details()
> Result         9.99100712e-01
> 500 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble1' : 500 configurations (from 5 to 1003 in steps of 2)

# Observable defined on configurations 2, 9, 28, 29 and 501
obs3 = pe.Obs([samples3], ['ensemble1'], idl=[[2, 9, 28, 29, 501]])
obs3.details()
> Result         1.01718064e+00
> 5 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble1' : 5 configurations (irregular range)

Warning: Irregular Monte Carlo chains can result in odd patterns in the autocorrelation functions. Make sure to check the autocorrelation time with e.g. pyerrors.obs.Obs.plot_rho or pyerrors.obs.Obs.plot_tauint.

For the full API see pyerrors.obs.Obs.

Correlators

When one is not interested in single observables but correlation functions, pyerrors offers the Corr class which simplifies the corresponding error propagation and provides the user with a set of standard methods. In order to initialize a Corr objects one needs to arrange the data as a list of `Obs´

my_corr = pe.Corr([obs_0, obs_1, obs_2, obs_3])
print(my_corr)
> x0/a  Corr(x0/a)
> ------------------
> 0      0.7957(80)
> 1      0.5156(51)
> 2      0.3227(33)
> 3      0.2041(21)

In case the correlation functions are not defined on the outermost timeslices, for example because of fixed boundary conditions, a padding can be introduced.

my_corr = pe.Corr([obs_0, obs_1, obs_2, obs_3], padding_front=1, padding_back=1)
print(my_corr)
> x0/a  Corr(x0/a)
> ------------------
> 0
> 1      0.7957(80)
> 2      0.5156(51)
> 3      0.3227(33)
> 4      0.2041(21)
> 5

The individual entries of a correlator can be accessed via slicing

print(my_corr[3])
> 0.3227(33)

Error propagation with the Corr class works very similar to Obs objects. Mathematical operations are overloaded and Corr objects can be computed together with other Corr objects, Obs objects or real numbers and integers.

my_new_corr = 0.3 * my_corr[2] * my_corr * my_corr + 12 / my_corr

pyerrors provides the user with a set of regularly used methods for the manipulation of correlator objects:

  • Corr.gamma_method applies the gamma method to all entries of the correlator.
  • Corr.m_eff to construct effective masses. Various variants for periodic and fixed temporal boundary conditions are available.
  • Corr.deriv returns the first derivative of the correlator as Corr. Different discretizations of the numerical derivative are available.
  • Corr.second_deriv returns the second derivative of the correlator as Corr. Different discretizations of the numerical derivative are available.
  • Corr.symmetric symmetrizes parity even correlations functions, assuming periodic boundary conditions.
  • Corr.anti_symmetric anti-symmetrizes parity odd correlations functions, assuming periodic boundary conditions.
  • Corr.T_symmetry averages a correlator with its time symmetry partner, assuming fixed boundary conditions.
  • Corr.plateau extracts a plateau value from the correlator in a given range.
  • Corr.roll periodically shifts the correlator.
  • Corr.reverse reverses the time ordering of the correlator.
  • Corr.correlate constructs a disconnected correlation function from the correlator and another Corr or Obs object.
  • Corr.reweight reweights the correlator.

pyerrors can also handle matrices of correlation functions and extract energy states from these matrices via a generalized eigenvalue problem (see `pyerrors.correlators.Corr.GEVP).

For the full API see pyerrors.correlators.Corr.

Complex observables

pyerrors can handle complex valued observables via the class pyerrors.obs.CObs. CObs are initialized with a real and an imaginary part which both can be Obs valued.

my_real_part = pe.Obs([samples1], ['ensemble1'])
my_imag_part = pe.Obs([samples2], ['ensemble1'])

my_cobs = pe.CObs(my_real_part, my_imag_part)
my_cobs.gamma_method()
print(my_cobs)
> (0.9959(91)+0.659(28)j)

Elementary mathematical operations are overloaded and samples are properly propagated as for the Obs class.

my_derived_cobs = (my_cobs + my_cobs.conjugate()) / np.abs(my_cobs)
my_derived_cobs.gamma_method()
print(my_derived_cobs)
> (1.668(23)+0.0j)

There exist similar publicly available implementations of gamma method error analysis suites in [Fortran](https://gitlab.ift.uam-csic.es/alberto/aderrors), [Julia](https://gitlab.ift.uam-csic.es/alberto/aderrors.jl) and [Python](https://github.com/mbruno46/pyobs).

## Basic example

```python
import numpy as np
import pyerrors as pe

my_obs = pe.Obs([samples], ['ensemble_name']) # Initialize an Obs object
my_new_obs = 2 * np.log(my_obs) / my_obs ** 2 # Construct derived Obs object
my_new_obs.gamma_method()                     # Estimate the statistical error
print(my_new_obs)                             # Print the result to stdout
> 0.31498(72)
```

# The `Obs` class

`pyerrors` introduces a new datatype, `Obs`, which simplifies error propagation and estimation for auto- and cross-correlated data.
An `Obs` object can be initialized with two arguments, the first is a list containing the samples for an Observable from a Monte Carlo chain.
The samples can either be provided as python list or as numpy array.
The second argument is a list containing the names of the respective Monte Carlo chains as strings. These strings uniquely identify a Monte Carlo chain/ensemble.

```python
import pyerrors as pe

my_obs = pe.Obs([samples], ['ensemble_name'])
```

## Error propagation

When performing mathematical operations on `Obs` objects the correct error propagation is intrinsically taken care using a first order Taylor expansion
$$\delta_f^i=\sum_\alpha \bar{f}_\alpha \delta_\alpha^i\,,\quad \delta_\alpha^i=a_\alpha^i-\bar{a}_\alpha\,,$$
as introduced in [arXiv:hep-lat/0306017](https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-lat/0306017).
The required derivatives $\bar{f}_\alpha$ are evaluated up to machine precision via automatic differentiation as suggested in [arXiv:1809.01289](https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.01289).

The `Obs` class is designed such that mathematical numpy functions can be used on `Obs` just as for regular floats.

my_obs2 = pe.Obs([samples2], ['ensemble_name'])

my_sum = my_obs1 + my_obs2

my_m_eff = np.log(my_obs1 / my_obs2)

iamzero = my_m_eff - my_m_eff
# Check that value and fluctuations are zero within machine precision
print(iamzero == 0.0)
> True
```

## Error estimation

The error estimation within `pyerrors` is based on the gamma method introduced in [arXiv:hep-lat/0306017](https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-lat/0306017).
After having arrived at the derived quantity of interest the `gamma_method` can be called as detailed in the following example.

```python
my_sum.gamma_method()
print(my_sum)
> 1.70(57)
my_sum.details()
> Result	 1.70000000e+00 +/- 5.72046658e-01 +/- 7.56746598e-02 (33.650%)
>  t_int	 2.71422900e+00 +/- 6.40320983e-01 S = 2.00
> 1000 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble_name' : 1000 configurations (from 1 to 1000)

```

We use the following definition of the integrated autocorrelation time established in [Madras & Sokal 1988](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01022990)
$$\tau_\mathrm{int}=\frac{1}{2}+\sum_{t=1}^{W}\rho(t)\geq \frac{1}{2}\,.$$
The window $W$ is determined via the automatic windowing procedure described in [arXiv:hep-lat/0306017](https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-lat/0306017).
The standard value for the parameter $S$ of this automatic windowing procedure is $S=2$. Other values for $S$ can be passed to the `gamma_method` as parameter.

```python
my_sum.gamma_method(S=3.0)
my_sum.details()
> Result	 1.70000000e+00 +/- 6.30675201e-01 +/- 1.04585650e-01 (37.099%)
>  t_int	 3.29909703e+00 +/- 9.77310102e-01 S = 3.00
> 1000 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble_name' : 1000 configurations (from 1 to 1000)

```

The integrated autocorrelation time $\tau_\mathrm{int}$ and the autocorrelation function $\rho(W)$ can be monitored via the methods `pyerrors.obs.Obs.plot_tauint` and `pyerrors.obs.Obs.plot_tauint`.

If the parameter $S$ is set to zero it is assumed that dataset does not exhibit any autocorrelation and the windowsize is chosen to be zero.
In this case the error estimate is identical to the sample standard error.

### Exponential tails

Slow modes in the Monte Carlo history can be accounted for by attaching an exponential tail to the autocorrelation function $\rho$ as suggested in [arXiv:1009.5228](https://arxiv.org/abs/1009.5228). The longest autocorrelation time in the history, $\tau_\mathrm{exp}$, can be passed to the `gamma_method` as parameter. In this case the automatic windowing procedure is vacated and the parameter $S$ does not affect the error estimate.

```python
my_sum.gamma_method(tau_exp=7.2)
my_sum.details()
> Result	 1.70000000e+00 +/- 6.28097762e-01 +/- 5.79077524e-02 (36.947%)
>  t_int	 3.27218667e+00 +/- 7.99583654e-01 tau_exp = 7.20,  N_sigma = 1
> 1000 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble_name' : 1000 configurations (from 1 to 1000)
```

For the full API see `pyerrors.obs.Obs.gamma_method`.

## Multiple ensembles/replica

Error propagation for multiple ensembles (Markov chains with different simulation parameters) is handled automatically. Ensembles are uniquely identified by their `name`.

```python
obs1 = pe.Obs([samples1], ['ensemble1'])
obs2 = pe.Obs([samples2], ['ensemble2'])

my_sum = obs1 + obs2
my_sum.details()
> Result   2.00697958e+00
> 1500 samples in 2 ensembles:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble1' : 1000 configurations (from 1 to 1000)
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble2' : 500 configurations (from 1 to 500)
```

`pyerrors` identifies multiple replica (independent Markov chains with identical simulation parameters) by the vertical bar `|` in the name of the data set.

```python
obs1 = pe.Obs([samples1], ['ensemble1|r01'])
obs2 = pe.Obs([samples2], ['ensemble1|r02'])

> my_sum = obs1 + obs2
> my_sum.details()
> Result   2.00697958e+00
> 1500 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble1'
>     · Replicum 'r01' : 1000 configurations (from 1 to 1000)
>     · Replicum 'r02' : 500 configurations (from 1 to 500)
```

### Error estimation for multiple ensembles

In order to keep track of different error analysis parameters for different ensembles one can make use of global dictionaries as detailed in the following example.

```python
pe.Obs.S_dict['ensemble1'] = 2.5
pe.Obs.tau_exp_dict['ensemble2'] = 8.0
pe.Obs.tau_exp_dict['ensemble3'] = 2.0
```

In case the `gamma_method` is called without any parameters it will use the values specified in the dictionaries for the respective ensembles.
Passing arguments to the `gamma_method` still dominates over the dictionaries.


## Irregular Monte Carlo chains

Irregular Monte Carlo chains can be initialized with the parameter `idl`.

```python
# Observable defined on configurations 20 to 519
obs1 = pe.Obs([samples1], ['ensemble1'], idl=[range(20, 520)])
obs1.details()
> Result	 9.98319881e-01
> 500 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble1' : 500 configurations (from 20 to 519)

# Observable defined on every second configuration between 5 and 1003
obs2 = pe.Obs([samples2], ['ensemble1'], idl=[range(5, 1005, 2)])
obs2.details()
> Result	 9.99100712e-01
> 500 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble1' : 500 configurations (from 5 to 1003 in steps of 2)

# Observable defined on configurations 2, 9, 28, 29 and 501
obs3 = pe.Obs([samples3], ['ensemble1'], idl=[[2, 9, 28, 29, 501]])
obs3.details()
> Result	 1.01718064e+00
> 5 samples in 1 ensemble:
>   · Ensemble 'ensemble1' : 5 configurations (irregular range)

```

**Warning:** Irregular Monte Carlo chains can result in odd patterns in the autocorrelation functions.
Make sure to check the autocorrelation time with e.g. `pyerrors.obs.Obs.plot_rho` or `pyerrors.obs.Obs.plot_tauint`.

For the full API see `pyerrors.obs.Obs`.

# Correlators
When one is not interested in single observables but correlation functions, `pyerrors` offers the `Corr` class which simplifies the corresponding error propagation and provides the user with a set of standard methods. In order to initialize a `Corr` objects one needs to arrange the data as a list of `Obs´
```python
my_corr = pe.Corr([obs_0, obs_1, obs_2, obs_3])
print(my_corr)
> x0/a	Corr(x0/a)
> ------------------
> 0	 0.7957(80)
> 1	 0.5156(51)
> 2	 0.3227(33)
> 3	 0.2041(21)
```
In case the correlation functions are not defined on the outermost timeslices, for example because of fixed boundary conditions, a padding can be introduced.
```python
my_corr = pe.Corr([obs_0, obs_1, obs_2, obs_3], padding_front=1, padding_back=1)
print(my_corr)
> x0/a	Corr(x0/a)
> ------------------
> 0
> 1	 0.7957(80)
> 2	 0.5156(51)
> 3	 0.3227(33)
> 4	 0.2041(21)
> 5
```
The individual entries of a correlator can be accessed via slicing
```python
print(my_corr[3])
> 0.3227(33)
```
Error propagation with the `Corr` class works very similar to `Obs` objects. Mathematical operations are overloaded and `Corr` objects can be computed together with other `Corr` objects, `Obs` objects or real numbers and integers.
```python
my_new_corr = 0.3 * my_corr[2] * my_corr * my_corr + 12 / my_corr
```

`pyerrors` provides the user with a set of regularly used methods for the manipulation of correlator objects:
- `Corr.gamma_method` applies the gamma method to all entries of the correlator.
- `Corr.m_eff` to construct effective masses. Various variants for periodic and fixed temporal boundary conditions are available.
- `Corr.deriv` returns the first derivative of the correlator as `Corr`. Different discretizations of the numerical derivative are available.
- `Corr.second_deriv` returns the second derivative of the correlator as `Corr`. Different discretizations of the numerical derivative are available.
- `Corr.symmetric` symmetrizes parity even correlations functions, assuming periodic boundary conditions.
- `Corr.anti_symmetric` anti-symmetrizes parity odd correlations functions, assuming periodic boundary conditions.
- `Corr.T_symmetry` averages a correlator with its time symmetry partner, assuming fixed boundary conditions.
- `Corr.plateau` extracts a plateau value from the correlator in a given range.
- `Corr.roll` periodically shifts the correlator.
- `Corr.reverse` reverses the time ordering of the correlator.
- `Corr.correlate` constructs a disconnected correlation function from the correlator and another `Corr` or `Obs` object.
- `Corr.reweight` reweights the correlator.

`pyerrors` can also handle matrices of correlation functions and extract energy states from these matrices via a generalized eigenvalue problem (see `pyerrors.correlators.Corr.GEVP).

For the full API see `pyerrors.correlators.Corr`.

# Complex observables

`pyerrors` can handle complex valued observables via the class `pyerrors.obs.CObs`.
`CObs` are initialized with a real and an imaginary part which both can be `Obs` valued.

```python
my_real_part = pe.Obs([samples1], ['ensemble1'])
my_imag_part = pe.Obs([samples2], ['ensemble1'])

my_cobs = pe.CObs(my_real_part, my_imag_part)
my_cobs.gamma_method()
print(my_cobs)
> (0.9959(91)+0.659(28)j)
```

Elementary mathematical operations are overloaded and samples are properly propagated as for the `Obs` class.
