reduceDimensions

Reduce dimensions of Sobol point set

Syntax

pr = reduceDimensions(p,d)

Description

pr = reduceDimensions(p,d) reduces the Sobol quasirandom point set p to the first d dimensions. d must be less than or equal to the number of dimensions in p.

The reduced point set pr is a sobolset object.

Generate a seven-dimensional Sobol point set and scramble the points.

p = sobolset(7);
ps = scramble(p,'MatousekAffineOwen')
ps = 
Sobol point set in 7 dimensions (9007199254740992 points)

Properties:
              Skip : 0
              Leap : 0
    ScrambleMethod : MatousekAffineOwen
        PointOrder : standard

Split the first 7168 points in ps into seven levels of 1024 points each. Reduce the first 1024 points to be one-dimensional, the second 1024 points to be two-dimensional, and so on. For each level, compute the variance of the point values in each dimension.

variance = NaN(7);
for level = 1:7
    pr = reduceDimensions(ps,level);
    pr.Skip = (level-1)*1024;
    pts = pr(1:1024,:);
    variance(level,1:level) = var(pts);
end

Plot the variances. The dark blue bars show the variance of the points in the first dimension, the dark orange bars show the variance of the points in the second dimension, and so on.

bar(variance)
xlabel('Level')
ylabel('Variances')

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel Level, ylabel Variances contains 7 objects of type bar.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Sobol point set, specified as a sobolset object.

Number of dimensions to retain from the point set p, specified as a positive integer scalar between 1 and the number of dimensions in p. The function always retains the first d dimensions of p.
