Probabilistic Numerics in Python.



ProbNum is a Python toolkit for solving numerical problems in linear algebra, optimization, quadrature and differential equations. ProbNum solvers not only estimate the solution of the numerical problem, but also its uncertainty (numerical error) which arises from finite computational resources, discretization and stochastic input. This numerical uncertainty can be used in downstream decisions.

Currently, available solvers are:

  • Linear solvers: Solve
    Unable to render expression.

    $A x = b$
    for
    Unable to render expression.

    $x$
    .
  • ODE solvers: Solve
    Unable to render expression.

    $\dot{y}(t) = f(y(t), t)$
    for
    Unable to render expression.

    $y$
    .
  • Integral solvers (quadrature): Solve
    Unable to render expression.

    $F = \int_D f(x) \mathrm{d}p(x)$
    for
    Unable to render expression.

    $F$
    .

Lower level structure includes:

  • Random variables and random processes, as well as arithmetic operations thereof.
  • Memory-efficient and lazy implementation of linear operators.
  • Filtering and smoothing for (probabilistic) state-space models, mostly variants of Kalman filters.

ProbNum is underpinned by the research field probabilistic numerics (PN), which lies at the intersection of machine learning and numerics. PN aims to quantify uncertainty arising from intractable or incomplete numerical computation and from stochastic input using the tools of probability theory. The general vision of probabilistic numerics is to provide well-calibrated probability measures over the output of a numerical routine, which then can be propagated along the chain of computation.

Installation

To get started install ProbNum using pip.

pip install probnum

Alternatively, you can install the latest version from source.

pip install git+https://github.com/probabilistic-numerics/probnum.git

Note: This package is currently work in progress, therefore interfaces are subject to change.
