predictConstraints

Predict coupled constraint violations at a set of points

Description

example

ConstraintViolations = predictConstraints(results,XTable) returns the coupled constraint function violations at the points in XTable.

[ConstraintViolations,sigma] = predictConstraints(results,XTable) also returns the standard deviations of the coupled constraint functions.

This example shows how to predict the coupled constraints of an optimized SVM model. For details of this model, see Optimize Cross-Validated Classifier Using bayesopt.

rng default
grnpop = mvnrnd([1,0],eye(2),10);
redpop = mvnrnd([0,1],eye(2),10);
redpts = zeros(100,2);
grnpts = redpts;
for i = 1:100
    grnpts(i,:) = mvnrnd(grnpop(randi(10),:),eye(2)*0.02);
    redpts(i,:) = mvnrnd(redpop(randi(10),:),eye(2)*0.02);
end
cdata = [grnpts;redpts];
grp = ones(200,1);
grp(101:200) = -1;
c = cvpartition(200,'KFold',10);
sigma = optimizableVariable('sigma',[1e-5,1e5],'Transform','log');
box = optimizableVariable('box',[1e-5,1e5],'Transform','log');

The objective function is the cross-validation loss of the SVM model for the partition c. The coupled constraint is the number of support vectors in the model minus 100. The model has 200 data points, so the coupled constraint values range from -100 to 100. Positive values mean the constraint is not satisfied.

function [objective,constraint] = mysvmfun(x,cdata,grp,c)
SVMModel = fitcsvm(cdata,grp,'KernelFunction','rbf',...
    'BoxConstraint',x.box,...
    'KernelScale',x.sigma);
cvModel = crossval(SVMModel,'CVPartition',c);
objective = kfoldLoss(cvModel);
constraint = sum(SVMModel.IsSupportVector)-100.5;

Call the optimizer using this function and its one coupled constraint.

fun = @(x)mysvmfun(x,cdata,grp,c);
results = bayesopt(fun,[sigma,box],'IsObjectiveDeterministic',true,...
    'NumCoupledConstraints',1,'PlotFcn',...
    {@plotMinObjective,@plotConstraintModels,@plotObjectiveModel},...
    'AcquisitionFunctionName','expected-improvement-plus','Verbose',0);

The constraint model plot shows that most parameters in the range are infeasible, and are feasible only for relatively high values of the box parameter and a small range of the sigma parameter. Predict the coupled constraint values for several values of the control variables box and sigma.

sigma = logspace(-2,2,11)';
box = logspace(0,5,11)';
XTable = table(sigma,box);
cons = predictConstraints(results,XTable);
[XTable,table(cons)]
ans =

Input Arguments

collapse all

Bayesian optimization results, specified as a BayesianOptimization object.

Prediction points, specified as a table with D columns, where D is the number of variables in the problem. The function performs its predictions on these points.

Data Types: table

Output Arguments

collapse all

Constraint violations, returned as an N-by-K matrix, where there are N rows in XTable and K coupled constraints. The constraint violations are the posterior means of the Gaussian process model of the coupled constraints at the points in XTable.

Constraint standard deviations, returned as an N-by-K matrix, where there are N rows in XTable and K coupled constraints. The standard deviations represent those of the posterior distribution at the points in XTable.
