.. versionadded:: 1.0.0

This module is primarily for internal use by other analysis modules. It
provides functionality for calculating the time autocorrelation function
of a binary variable (i.e one that is either true or false at each
frame for a given atom/molecule/set of molecules). This module includes
functions for calculating both the time continuous autocorrelation and
the intermittent autocorrelation. The function :func:`autocorrelation`
calculates the continuous autocorrelation only. The data may be
pre-processed using the function :func:`intermittency` in order to
acount for intermittency before passing the results to
:func:`autocorrelation`.

This module is inspired by seemingly disparate analyses that rely on the same
underlying calculation, including the survival probability of water around
proteins :cite:p:`ArayaSecchi2014`, hydrogen bond lifetimes
:cite:p:`Gowers2015,ArayaSecchi2014`, and the rate of cholesterol
flip-flop in lipid bilayers :cite:p:`Gu2019`.

[docs]def autocorrelation(list_of_sets, tau_max, window_step=1): r"""Implementation of a discrete autocorrelation function. The autocorrelation of a property :math:`x` from a time :math:`t=t_0` to :math:`t=t_0 + \tau` is given by: .. math:: C(\tau) = \langle \frac{ x(t_0)x(t_0 +\tau) }{ x(t_0)x(t_0) } \rangle where :math:`x` may represent any property of a particle, such as velocity or potential energy. This function is an implementation of a special case of the time autocorrelation function in which the property under consideration can be encoded with indicator variables, :math:`0` and :math:`1`, to represent the binary state of said property. This special case is often referred to as the survival probability (:math:`S(\tau)`). As an example, in calculating the survival probability of water molecules within 5 Å of a protein, each water molecule will either be within this cutoff range (:math:`1`) or not (:math:`0`). The total number of water molecules within the cutoff at time :math:`t_0` will be given by :math:`N(t_0)`. Other cases include the Hydrogen Bond Lifetime as well as the translocation rate of cholesterol across a bilayer. The survival probability of a property of a set of particles is given by: .. math:: S(\tau) = \langle \frac{ N(t_0, t_0 + \tau )} { N(t_0) }\rangle where :math:`N(t0)` is the number of particles at time :math:`t_0` for which the feature is observed, and :math:`N(t0, t_0 + \tau)` is the number of particles for which this feature is present at every frame from :math:`t_0` to :math:`N(t0, t_0 + \tau)`. The angular brackets represent an average over all time origins, :math:`t_0`. See :cite:`ArayaSecchi2014` for a description survival probability. Parameters ---------- list_of_sets : list List of sets. Each set corresponds to data from a single frame. Each element in a set may be, for example, an atom id or a tuple of atoms ids. In the case of calculating the survival probability of water around a protein, these atom ids in a given set will be those of the atoms which are within a cutoff distance of the protein at a given frame. tau_max : int The last tau (lag time, inclusive) for which to calculate the autocorrelation. e.g if tau_max = 20, the survival probability will be calculated over 20 frames. window_step : int, optional The step size for t0 to perform autocorrelation. Ideally, window_step will be larger than tau_max to ensure independence of each window for which the calculation is performed. Default is 1. Returns -------- tau_timeseries : list of int the values of tau for which the autocorrelation was calculated timeseries : list of int the autocorelation values for each of the tau values timeseries_data : list of list of int the raw data from which the autocorrelation is computed, i.e :math:`S(\tau)` at each window. This allows the time dependant evolution of :math:`S(\tau)` to be investigated. .. versionadded:: 0.19.2 """ # check types if (type(list_of_sets) != list and len(list_of_sets) != 0) or type(list_of_sets[0]) != set: raise TypeError("list_of_sets must be a one-dimensional list of sets") # pragma: no cover # Check dimensions of parameters if len(list_of_sets) < tau_max: raise ValueError("tau_max cannot be greater than the length of list_of_sets") # pragma: no cover tau_timeseries = list(range(1, tau_max + 1)) timeseries_data = [[] for _ in range(tau_max)] # calculate autocorrelation for t in range(0, len(list_of_sets), window_step): Nt = len(list_of_sets[t]) if Nt == 0: continue for tau in tau_timeseries: if t + tau >= len(list_of_sets): break # continuous: IDs that survive from t to t + tau and at every frame in between Ntau = len(set.intersection(*list_of_sets[t:t + tau + 1])) timeseries_data[tau - 1].append(Ntau / float(Nt)) timeseries = [np.mean(x) for x in timeseries_data] # at time 0 the value has to be one tau_timeseries.insert(0, 0) timeseries.insert(0, 1) return tau_timeseries, timeseries, timeseries_data
[docs]def correct_intermittency(list_of_sets, intermittency): r"""Preprocess data to allow intermittent behaviour prior to calling :func:`autocorrelation`. Survival probabilty may be calculated either with a strict continuous requirement or a less strict intermittency. If calculating the survival probability water around a protein for example, in the former case the water must be within a cutoff distance of the protein at every frame from :math:`t_0` to :math:`t_0 + \tau` in order for it to be considered present at :math:`t_0 + \tau`. In the intermittent case, the water molecule is allowed to leave the region of interest for up to a specified consecutive number of frames whilst still being considered present at :math:`t_0 + \tau`. This function pre-processes data, such as the atom ids of water molecules within a cutoff distance of a protein at each frame, in order to allow for intermittent behaviour, with a single pass over the data. For example, if an atom is absent for a number of frames equal or smaller than the parameter :attr:`intermittency`, then this absence will be removed and thus the atom is considered to have not left. e.g 7,A,A,7 with `intermittency=2` will be replaced by 7,7,7,7, where A=absence. The returned data can be used as input to the function :func:`autocorrelation` in order to calculate the survival probability with a given intermittency. See :cite:p:`Gowers2015` for a description of intermittency in the calculation of hydrogen bond lifetimes. # TODO - is intermittency consitent with list of sets of sets? (hydrogen bonds) Parameters ---------- list_of_sets: list In the simple case of e.g survival probability, a list of sets of atom ids present at each frame, where a single set contains atom ids at a given frame, e.g [{0, 1}, {0}, {0}, {0, 1}] intermittency : int The maximum gap allowed. The default `intermittency=0` means that if the datapoint is missing at any frame, no changes are made to the data. With the value of `intermittency=2`, all datapoints missing for up to two consecutive frames will be instead be considered present. Returns ------- list_of_sets: list returns a new list with the IDs with added IDs which disappeared for <= :attr:`intermittency`. e.g If [{0, 1}, {0}, {0}, {0, 1}] is a list of sets of atom ids present at each frame and `intermittency=2`, both atoms will be considered present throughout and thus the returned list of sets will be [{0, 1}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}].
