Meta-Model Structure Selection: Building Polynomial NARMAX model

This class uses the MetaMSS ([1], [2], [3]_) algorithm to build NARMAX models. 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 \(d=1\).

sigmoid_linear_unit_derivative(x, c, a)

Calculate the derivative of the Sigmoid Linear Unit function.

The derivative of Sigmoid Linear Unit (dSiLU) function can be viewed as a overshooting version of the sigmoid function.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
x ndarray

The range of the regressors space.

required
a float

The rate of change.

required
c int

Corresponds to the x value where y = 0.5.

required

Returns:

Name Type Description
penalty ndarray of floats

The values of the penalty function
