sysidentpy 0.1.8

Open source System Identification library in Python

SysIdentPy is a Python module for System Identification using NARMAX models built on top of numpy and is distributed under the 3-Clause BSD license.

Note

The update v0.1.7 has been released with major changes and additional features (Fourier basis function, NAR and NFIR models, possibility to select the lag of the residues for Extended Least Squares algorithm and many more).

There are several API modifications and you will need to change your code to have the new (and upcoming) features.

Check the examples of how to use the new version in the documentation page.

For more details, please see the changelog.

NARX Neural Network

from sysidentpy.neural_network import NARXNN

class NARX(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.lin = nn.Linear(4, 10)
        self.lin2 = nn.Linear(10, 10)
        self.lin3 = nn.Linear(10, 1)

    def forward(self, xb):
        z = self.lin(xb)
        z = self.tanh(z)
        z = self.lin2(z)
        z = self.tanh(z)
        z = self.lin3(z)

Catboost-narx

from sysidentpy.general_estimators import NARX
from catboost import CatBoostRegressor

catboost_narx = NARX(base_estimator=CatBoostRegressor(iterations=300,

Catboost without NARX configuration

The following is the Catboost performance without the NARX configuration.

def plot_results(yvalid, yhat):
    _, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(14, 8))
    ax.plot(y_valid[:200], label='Data', marker='o')
    ax.plot(yhat[:200], label='Prediction', marker='*')
    ax.set_xlabel("$n$", fontsize=18)
    ax.set_ylabel("$y[n]$", fontsize=18)
    ax.grid()
    ax.legend(fontsize=18)
    plt.show()

catboost = CatBoostRegressor(iterations=300,
                            learning_rate=0.1,
                            depth=6)
catboost.fit(x_train, y_train, verbose=False)

Requirements

SysIdentPy requires:

• Python (>= 3.6)
• NumPy (>= 1.5.0) for all numerical algorithms
• Matplotlib >= 1.5.2 for static plotting and visualizations
• Pytorch (>=1.7.1) for building feed-forward neural networks

Platform	Status
Linux	ok
Windows	ok
macOS	ok

SysIdentPy do not to support Python 2.7.

A few examples require pandas >= 0.18.0. However, it is not required to use sysidentpy.

Installation

The easiest way to get sysidentpy running is to install it using pip

pip install sysidentpy

We will make it available at conda repository as soon as possible.

Changelog

See the changelog for a history of notable changes to SysIdentPy.

Development

We welcome new contributors of all experience levels. The sysidentpy community goals are to be helpful, welcoming, and effective.

Note: we use the pytest package for testing. The test functions are located in tests subdirectories at each folder inside SysIdentPy, which check the validity of the algorithms.

Run the pytest in the respective folder to perform all the tests of the corresponding sub-packages.

Currently, we have around 81% of code coverage.

You can install pytest using

pip install -U pytest

Example of how to run the tests:

Open a terminal emulator of your choice and go to a subdirectory, e.g,

\sysidentpy\metrics\

Just type pytest and you get a result like

========== test session starts ==========

platform linux -- Python 3.7.6, pytest-5.4.2, py-1.8.1, pluggy-0.13.1

rootdir: ~/sysidentpy

plugins: cov-2.8.1

collected 12 items

tests/test_regression.py ............ [100%]

========== 12 passed in 2.45s ==================

You can also see the code coverage using the pytest-cov package. First, install pytest-cov using

pip install pytest-cov

Run the command below in the SysIdentPy root directory, to generate the report.

pytest --cov=.
