Entropic Regression Algorithm.

Build Polynomial NARMAX model using the Entropic Regression Algorithm ([1]_). This algorithm is based on the Matlab package available on: https://github.com/almomaa/ERFit-Package

The NARMAX model is described as:

\[ y_k= F^\ell[y_{k-1}, \dotsc, y_{k-n_y},x_{k-d}, x_{k-d-1}, \dotsc, x_{k-d-n_x}, e_{k-1}, \dotsc, e_{k-n_e}] + e_k \]

where \(n_y\in \mathbb{N}^*\), \(n_x \in \mathbb{N}\), \(n_e \in \mathbb{N}\), are the maximum lags for the system output and input respectively; \(x_k \in \mathbb{R}^{n_x}\) is the system input and \(y_k \in \mathbb{R}^{n_y}\) is the system output at discrete time \(k \in \mathbb{N}^n\); \(e_k \in \mathbb{R}^{n_e}\) stands for uncertainties and possible noise at discrete time \(k\). In this case, \(\mathcal{F}^\ell\) is some nonlinear function of the input and output regressors with nonlinearity degree \(\ell \in \mathbb{N}\) and \(d\) is a time delay typically set to \(d=1\).

Parameters

ylag : int, default=2 The maximum lag of the output. xlag : int, default=2 The maximum lag of the input. k : int, default=2 The kth nearest neighbor to be used in estimation. q : float, default=0.99 Quantile to compute, which must be between 0 and 1 inclusive. p : default=inf, Lp Measure of the distance in Knn estimator. n_perm: int, default=200 Number of permutation to be used in shuffle test estimator : str, default="least_squares" The parameter estimation method. skip_forward = bool, default=False To be used for difficult and highly uncertain problems. Skipping the forward selection results in more accurate solution, but comes with higher computational cost. model_type: str, default="NARMAX" The user can choose "NARMAX", "NAR" and "NFIR" models

    Build Polynomial NARMAX model using the Entropic Regression Algorithm ([1]_).
    This algorithm is based on the Matlab package available on:
    https://github.com/almomaa/ERFit-Package

    The NARMAX model is described as:

    $$
        y_k= F^\ell[y_{k-1}, \dotsc, y_{k-n_y},x_{k-d}, x_{k-d-1}, \dotsc, x_{k-d-n_x},
        e_{k-1}, \dotsc, e_{k-n_e}] + e_k
    $$

    where $n_y\in \mathbb{N}^*$, $n_x \in \mathbb{N}$, $n_e \in \mathbb{N}$,
    are the maximum lags for the system output and input respectively;
    $x_k \in \mathbb{R}^{n_x}$ is the system input and $y_k \in \mathbb{R}^{n_y}$
    is the system output at discrete time $k \in \mathbb{N}^n$;
    $e_k \in \mathbb{R}^{n_e}$ stands for uncertainties and possible noise
    at discrete time $k$. In this case, $\mathcal{F}^\ell$ is some nonlinear function
    of the input and output regressors with nonlinearity degree $\ell \in \mathbb{N}$
    and $d$ is a time delay typically set to $d=1$.

    Parameters
    ----------
    ylag : int, default=2
        The maximum lag of the output.
    xlag : int, default=2
        The maximum lag of the input.
    k : int, default=2
        The kth nearest neighbor to be used in estimation.
    q : float, default=0.99
        Quantile to compute, which must be between 0 and 1 inclusive.
    p : default=inf,
        Lp Measure of the distance in Knn estimator.
    n_perm: int, default=200
        Number of permutation to be used in shuffle test
    estimator : str, default="least_squares"
        The parameter estimation method.
    skip_forward = bool, default=False
        To be used for difficult and highly uncertain problems.
        Skipping the forward selection results in more accurate solution,
        but comes with higher computational cost.
    model_type: str, default="NARMAX"
        The user can choose "NARMAX", "NAR" and "NFIR" models
