CHANGES

+
    +

  • The update v0.1.9 has been released with additional feature, minor API changes and fixes of the new features added in v0.1.7.

    • +
  • +
    DOC: PV forecasting benchmark
      +

    • FIX AOLS prediction. The example was using the meta_mss model in prediction, so the results for AOLS were wrong.

    +
    +
    +
    • +

v0.1.7

+
+

CHANGES

+
    +

  • The update v0.1.7 has been released with major changes and additional features. There are several API modifications and you will need to change your code to have the new (and upcoming) features. All modifications are meant to make future expansion easier.

    • +

  • On the user’s side, the changes are not that disruptive, but in the background there are many changes that allowed the inclusion of new features and bug fixes that would be complex to solve without the changes. Check the documentation page

    • +

  • Many classes were basically rebuild it from scratch, so I suggest to look at the new examples of how to use the new version.

    • +

  • I will present the main updates below in order to highlight features and usability and then all API changes will be reported.

    • +
  • +
    MAJOR: NARX models with Fourier basis function Issue63, Issue64
      +

    • The user can choose which basis they want by importing it from sysidentpy.basis_function. Check the notebooks with examples of how to use it.

      • +

    • Polynomial and Fourier are supported for now. New basis functions will be added in next releases.

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +
  • +
    MAJOR: NAR models Issue58
      +

    • It was already possible to build Polynomial NAR models, but with some hacks. Now the user just need to pass model_type=”NAR” to build NAR models.

      • +

    • The user doesn’t need to pass a vector of zeros as input anymore.

      • +

    • Works for any model structure selection algorithm (FROLS, AOLS, MetaMSS)

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +
  • +
    Major: NFIR models Issue59
      +

    • NFIR models are models where the output depends only on past inputs. It was already possible to build Polynomial NFIR models, but with a lot of code on the user’s side (much more than NAR, btw). Now the user just need to pass model_type=”NFIR” to build NFIR models.

      • +

    • Works for any model structure selection algorithm (FROLS, AOLS, MetaMSS)

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +
  • +
    Major: Select the order for the residues lags to use in Extended Least Squares - elag
      +

    • The user can select the maximum lag of the residues to be used in the Extended Least Squares algorithm. In previous versions sysidentpy used a predefined subset of residual lags.

      • +

    • The degree of the lags follows the degree of the basis function

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +
  • +
    Major: Residual analysis methods Issue60
      +

    • There are now specific functions to calculate the autocorrelation of the residuals and cross-correlation for the analysis of the residuals. In previous versions the calculation was limited to just two inputs, for example, limiting user usability.

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +
  • +
    Major: Plotting methods Issue61
      +

    • The plotting functions are now separated from the models objects, so there are more flexibility regarding what to plot.

      • +

    • Residual plots were separated from the forecast plot

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +
  • +
    API Change: sysidentpy.polynomial_basis.PolynomialNarmax is deprecated. Use sysidentpy.model_structure_selection.FROLS instead. Issue64
      +

    • Now the user doesn’t need to pass the number of inputs as a parameter.

      • +

    • Added the elag parameter for unbiased_estimator. Now the user can define the number of lags of the residues for parameter estimation using the Extended Least Squares algorithm.

      • +

    • model_type parameter: now the user can select the model type to be built. The options are “NARMAX”, “NAR” and “NFIR”. “NARMAX” is the default. If you want to build a NAR model without any “hack”, just set model_type=”NAR”. The same for “NFIR” models.

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +
  • +
    API Change: sysidentpy.polynomial_basis.MetaMSS is deprecated. Use sysidentpy.model_structure_selection.MetaMSS instead. Issue64
      +

    • Now the user doesn’t need to pass the number of inputs as a parameter.

      • +

    • Added the elag parameter for unbiased_estimator. Now the user can define the number of lags of the residues for parameter estimation using the Extended Least Squares algorithm.

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +

  • API Change: sysidentpy.polynomial_basis.AOLS is deprecated. Use sysidentpy.model_structure_selection.AOLS instead. Issue64

    • +

  • API Change: sysidentpy.polynomial_basis.SimulatePolynomialNarmax is deprecated. Use sysidentpy.simulation.SimulateNARMAX instead.

    • +
  • +
    API Change: Introducing sysidentpy.basis_function. Because NARMAX models can be built on different basis function, a new module is added to make easier to implement new basis functions in future updates Issue64.
      +

    • Each basis function class must have a fit and predict method to be used in training and prediction respectively.

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +
  • +

    MAJOR: Meta-Model Structure Selection Algorithm (Meta-MSS).

    MAJOR: n-steps-ahead prediction.
      +
    • +
      Now you can define the numbers of steps ahead in the predict function.
        +

      • Only for Polynomial models for now. Next update will bring this functionality to Neural NARX and General Estimators.

        • +

    MAJOR: Simulating predefined models.
      +

    • Added the new class SimulatePolynomialNarmax to handle the simulation of known model structures.

      • +

    • Now you can simulate predefined models by just passing the model structure codification. Check the notebook examples.

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +

  • Added 4 new notebooks in the example section.

    • +

  • Added iterative notebooks. Now you can run the notebooks in Jupyter notebook section of the documentation in Colab.

    • +

  • Fix code format issues.

    • +

  • Added new tests for SimulatePolynomialNarmax and generate_data.

    • +

  • Started changes related to numpy 1.19.4 update. There are still some Deprecation warnings that will be fixed in next update.

    • +

  • Fix issues related to html on Jupyter notebooks examples on documentation.

    • +

  • Updated Readme with examples of how to use.

    MAJOR: Introducing NARX Neural Network in SysIdentPy.
      +

    • Now you can build NARX Neural Network on SysIdentPy.

      • +

    • This feature is built on top of Pytorch. See the docs for more details and examples of how to use.

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +
  • +
    MAJOR: Introducing general estimators in SysIdentPy.
      +

    • Now you are able to use any estimator that have Fit/Predict methods (estimators from Sklearn and Catboost, for example) and build NARX models based on those estimators.

      • +

    • We use the core functions of SysIdentPy and keep the Fit/Predict approach from those estimators to keep the process easy to use.

      • +

    • More estimators are coming soon like XGboost.

      • +
    +
    +
    +
    • +

  • Added notebooks to show how to build NARX neural Network.

    • +

  • Added notebooks to show how to build NARX models using general estimators.

    • +

  • Changed the default parameters of the plot_results function.

    • +

  • NOTE: We will keeping improving the Polynomial NARX models (new model structure selection algorithms and multiobjective identification

    • +
+

is on our roadmap). These recent modifications will allow us to introduce new NARX models like PWARX models very soon.

+
    +

  • New template for the documentation site.

    • +

  • Fix issues related to html on Jupyter notebooks examples on documentation.

    • +

  • Updated Readme with examples of how to use.

CHANGES

+
    +

  • Fixed a bug concerning the xlag and ylag in multiple input scenarios.

    • +

  • Refactored predict function. Improved performance up to 87% depending on the number of regressors.

    • +

  • You can set lags with different size for each input.

    • +

  • Added a new function to get the max value of xlag and ylag. Work with int, list, nested lists.

    • +

  • Fixed tests for information criteria.

    • +

  • Added SysIdentPy logo.

    • +

  • Refactored code of all classes following PEP 8 guidelines to improve readability.

    • +

  • Added Citation information on Readme.

    • +

  • Changes on information Criteria tests.

    • +

  • Added workflow to run the tests when merge branch into master.

    • +

  • Added new site domain.

    • +

  • Updated docs.
