atomica.scenarios.ParameterScenario¶

class atomica.scenarios.ParameterScenario(name=None, scenario_values=None, active=True, parsetname=None, interpolation='linear')[source]¶

Bases: Scenario

Define and run parameter scenarios

This object stores overwrites to parameter values that are used to modify a ParameterSet instance before running a simulation.

Example usage:

>>> scvalues = dict()
>>> param = 'birth_transit'
>>> scvalues[param] = dict()
>>> scvalues[param]['Pop1'] = dict()
>>> scvalues[param]['Pop1']['y'] = [3e6, 1e4, 1e4, 2e6]
>>> scvalues[param]['Pop1']['t'] = [2003.,2004.,2014.,2015.]
>>> pscenario = ParameterScenario(name="examplePS",scenario_values=scvalues)

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the scenario. This will also be used to name the result
scenario_values (dict) –
A dict of overwrites to parameter values. The structure is {parameter_label: {pop_identifier: dict o} where the overwrite o contains keys
- t : np.array or list with year values
- y : np.array or list with corresponding parameter values
The pop_identifier is a single population name if the parameter_label corresponds to a Framework parameter or it should be a tuple/list (from_pop,to_pop) if the parameter_label corresponds to an interaction or transfer.
active (bool) – If running via Project.run_scenarios this flags whether to run the scenario
parsetname (str) – If running via Project.run_scenarios this identifies which parset to use from the project
interpolation (str) – The specified interpolation method will be used to interpolate scenario values onto simulation times. Common options are ‘linear’ (smoothly change) and ‘previous’ (stepped)

NamedItem constructor

A name must be a string

Parameters:: name (str)

Attributes

`scenario_values`	Store dictionary containing the overwrite values
`interpolation`	Stores the name of a supported interpolation method
`parsetname`	Specify parset name when run via `Project.run_scenarios`
`progsetname`	Specify progset name when run via `Project.run_scenarios`
`active`	Flag whether the scenario should be run via `Project.run_scenarios`

Methods

`add`	Add overwrite to scenario
`copy`
`get_instructions`	Get scenario instructions
`get_parset`	Return modified parset
`get_progset`	Get scenario progset
`run`	Run scenario

active¶: Flag whether the scenario should be run via Project.run_scenarios

add(par_name, pop_name, t, y)[source]¶

Add overwrite to scenario

This method adds a TimeSeries with parameter overwrite values to the ParameterSet

Example usage:

>>> pscenario = ParameterScenario(name="examplePS")
>>> pscenario.add('rec_rate','Pop1',[2004.,2014],[3e6, 1e4])
>>> pscenario.add('aging',('Pop1','Pop2'),[2004.,2014],[0.05,0.06])

This can provide a more readable way to define a parameter scenario, without having to assemble a dict of the overwrites in advance.

Parameters:

par_name (str) – Name of the parameter to overwrite. This can also be the code name of a transfer or interaction
pop_name (str) – Population to overwrite values for. If the par_name is a transfer or interaction, this should be a tuple containing (from_pop,to_pop)
t – scalar, list, or array of times
y – scalar, list, or array of overwrite values
end_overwrite – If True, after the final overwrite, the parameter will revert to its baseline value

Return type:

None

get_instructions(progset, project)¶

Get scenario instructions

If the derived scenario class produces program instructions, return them here.

Parameters:: progset (ProgramSet) – Input ProgramSet
Return type:: ProgramInstructions
Returns:: ProgramInstructions instance, or None if no instructions (in which case, programs will not be used)

get_parset(parset, project)[source]¶

Return modified parset

This method takes in a ParameterSet and modifies it by applying the overwrites present in the scenario. This can thus be used to return the ParameterSet for use in other simulations that are manually run, or to do things like perform a budget scenario simulation in conjunction with a parameter scenario.

The returned ParameterSet will have been pre-interpolated onto the simulation times.

Parameters:

parset (ParameterSet) – A ParameterSet instance
project – A Project instance (required for simulation times and to identify function parameters)

Return type:

ParameterSet

Returns:

A new ParameterSet object

get_progset(progset, project)¶

Get scenario progset

If the derived scenario class modifies the progset, return the modified version

Parameters:: progset (ProgramSet) – Input ProgramSet
Return type:: ProgramSet
Returns:: Modified progset for use in the simulation

interpolation¶: Stores the name of a supported interpolation method

parsetname¶: Specify parset name when run via Project.run_scenarios

progsetname¶: Specify progset name when run via Project.run_scenarios

run(project, parset=None, progset=None, store_results=True)¶

Run scenario

Parameters:

project – A Project instance
parset (ParameterSet) – Optionally a ParameterSet instance, otherwise will use self.parsetname
progset (ProgramSet) – Optionally a ProgramSet instance, otherwise will use self.progsetname
store_results (bool) – If True, the results will be copied into the project

Return type:

Result

Returns:

A Result object

scenario_values¶: Store dictionary containing the overwrite values
