Package: adao
AboutThe ADAO module provides data assimilation and optimizationfeatures in
Python or SALOME context (seehttp://www.salome-platform.org/). Briefly stated,
Data Assimilation is a methodological framework to compute the optimal estimate
of the inaccessible true value of a system state, eventually over time. It uses
information coming from experimental measurements or observations, and from
numericala priorimodels, including information about their errors. Parts of
the framework are also known under the names ofcalibration,adjustment,state estimation,parameter estimation,parameter adjustment,inverse
problems,Bayesian estimation,optimal interpolation,mathematical
regularization,meta-heuristics for optimization,model reduction,data
smoothing, etc. More details can be found in the full ADAO documentation (seehttps://www.salome-platform.org/User Documentation dedicated section).Only the use of ADAO text programming interface (API/TUI) is introduced
here. This interface gives ability to create a calculation object in a
similar way than the case building obtained through the graphical
interface (GUI). When one wants to elaborate directly the TUI
calculation case, it is recommended to extensively use all the ADAO
module documentation, and to go back if necessary to the graphical
interface (GUI), to get all the elements allowing to correctly set the
commands.A simple setup example of an ADAO TUI calculation caseTo introduce the TUI interface, lets begin by a simple but complete
example of ADAO calculation case. All the data are explicitly defined
inside the script in order to make the reading easier. The whole set of
commands is the following one:from numpy import array, matrix
from adao import adaoBuilder
case = adaoBuilder.New()
case.set( 'AlgorithmParameters', Algorithm = '3DVAR' )
case.set( 'Background',          Vector = [0, 1, 2] )
case.set( 'BackgroundError',     ScalarSparseMatrix = 1.0 )
case.set( 'Observation',         Vector = array([0.5, 1.5, 2.5]) )
case.set( 'ObservationError',    DiagonalSparseMatrix = '1 1 1' )
case.set( 'ObservationOperator', Matrix = '1 0 0;0 2 0;0 0 3' )
case.set( 'Observer',            Variable = "Analysis", Template = "ValuePrinter" )
case.execute()The result of running these commands in SALOME (either as a SALOME
“shell” command, in the Python command window of the interface, or by
the script execution entry of the menu) is the following:Analysis [ 0.25000264  0.79999797  0.94999939]More advanced examples of ADAO TUI calculation caseReal cases involve observations loaded from files, operators explicitly
defined as generic functions including physical simulators, time dependant
information in order to deal with forecast analysis in addition to calibration
or re-analysis. More details can be found in the full ADAO documentation (see
documentation on the reference sitehttps://www.salome-platform.org/, withhttps://docs.salome-platform.org/latest/gui/ADAO/en/index.htmlfor english orhttps://docs.salome-platform.org/latest/gui/ADAO/fr/index.htmlfor french, both
being equivalents).License and requirementsThe license for this module is the GNU Lesser General Public License
