sim_vf {fitlandr}R Documentation

Simulation from vector fields

Description

Parallel computing based on future is supported. Use future::plan("multisession") to enable this.

Usage

sim_vf(
  vf,
  noise = 1,
  noise_warmup = noise,
  chains = 10,
  length = 10000,
  discard = 0.3,
  stepsize = 0.01,
  sparse = 1,
  forbid_overflow = FALSE,
  linear_interp = FALSE,
  inits = matrix(c(stats::runif(chains, min = vf$lims[1], max = vf$lims[2]),
    stats::runif(chains, min = vf$lims[3], max = vf$lims[4])), ncol = 2)
)

Arguments

vf

A vectorfield object estimated by fit_2d_vf().

noise

Relative noise of the simulation. Set this smaller when the simulation is unstable (e.g., when the elements in the diffusion matrix are not finite), and set this larger when the simulation converges too slowly.

noise_warmup

The noise used for the warming-up period.

chains

How many chains simulations should be performed?

length

The simulation length for each chain.

discard

How much of the starting part of each chain should be discarded? (Warming-up period.)

stepsize

The stepsize for Euler–Maruyama simulation of the system.

sparse

A number. How much do you want to sparse the output? When the noise is small, sparse the output may make the density estimation more efficient.

forbid_overflow

If TRUE, when the simulated system runs out of the margins specified in vf, the system will be moved back to the previous value. This can help to stabilize the simulation. FALSE by default.

linear_interp

Use linear interpolation method to estimate the drift vector (and the diffusion matrix). This can speed up the calculation. If TRUE, be sure that a linear grid was calculated for the vector field using ⁠<vf> <- add_interp_grid(<vf>)⁠.

inits

The initial values of each chain.

Value

A matrix of the simulated data.
