PrognosticsModel#

class progpy.PrognosticsModel(**kwargs)#

A general time-variant state space model of system degradation behavior.

The PrognosticsModel class is a wrapper around a mathematical model of a system as represented by a state, output, input, event_state and threshold equation.

A Model also has a parameters structure, which contains fields for various model parameters.

Keyword Arguments
  • process_noise (Optional, float or dict[str, float]) – Process noise (applied at dx/next_state). Can be number (e.g., .2) applied to every state, a dictionary of values for each state (e.g., {‘x1’: 0.2, ‘x2’: 0.3}), or a function (x) -> x

  • process_noise_dist (Optional, str) – distribution for process noise (e.g., normal, uniform, triangular)

  • measurement_noise (Optional, float or dict[str, float]) – Measurement noise (applied in output eqn). Can be number (e.g., .2) applied to every output, a dictionary of values for each output (e.g., {‘z1’: 0.2, ‘z2’: 0.3}), or a function (z) -> z

  • measurement_noise_dist (Optional, str) – distribution for measurement noise (e.g., normal, uniform, triangular)

  • integration_method (Optional, str or OdeSolver) – Integration method used by next_state in continuous models, e.g. ‘rk4’ or ‘euler’ (default: ‘euler’). Could also be a SciPy integrator (e.g., scipy.integrate.RK45). If the model is discrete, this parameter will raise an exception.
