Submodules

mdt.component_templates.base module

class mdt.component_templates.base.ComponentBuilder

Bases: object

The base class for component builders.

Component builders, together with ComponentTemplate allow you to define components using Templates, special classes where the properties are defined using class attributes.

The ComponentTemplate contains class attributes defining the component which can be used by the ComponentBuilder to create a class of the right type from the information in that template.

create_class(template)

Create a class of the right type given the information in the template.

Parameters:template (ComponentTemplate) – the information as a component config Returns:the class of the right type Return type:class

class mdt.component_templates.base.ComponentTemplate

Bases: object

The component configuration.

By overriding the class attributes you can define complex configurations. The actual class distilled from these configurations are loaded by the builder referenced by _builder.

_component_type

the component type of this template. Set to one of the valid template types.

Type:str

_builder

the builder to use for constructing an object of the given template

Type:ComponentBuilder

name

the name of the template

Type:str

description

a description of the object / template

Type:str

Instead of creating an instance of a Template, this will build the actual component.

This allows one to build the model of a template by regular object initialization. For example, these two calls (a and b) are exactly the same:

template = Template
a = construct_component(template)
b = template()

bound_methods = {}

component_type = None

description = ''

classmethod meta_info()

name = ''

subcomponents = []

class mdt.component_templates.base.ComponentTemplateMeta

Bases: type

A pre-processor for the components.

On the moment this meta class does two things, first it adds all functions with the ‘_bind’ property to the bound_methods dictionary for binding them later to the constructed class. Second, it sets the name attribute to the template class name if there is no name attribute defined.

mdt.component_templates.base.bind_function(func)

This decorator is for methods in ComponentTemplates that we would like to bind to the constructed component.

Example suppose you want to inherit or overwrite a function in the constructed model, then in your template/config you should define the function and add @bind_function to it as a decorator, like this:

# the class we want to create
class MyGoal:
    def test(self):
        print('test')

# the template class from which we want to construct a new MyGoal, note the @bind_function
class MyConfig(ComponentTemplate):
    @bind_function
    def test(self):
        super().test()
        print('test2')

The component builder takes care to actually bind the new method to the final object.

What this will do essentially is that it will add the property bind to the function. This should act as a flag indicating that that function should be bound.

Parameters:func (python function) – the function to bind to the build object

mdt.component_templates.base.merge_dict(dictionary)

Makes sure that the given dictionary updates the dictionary of the parent template instead of overwriting it.

This is meant to be used inside component templates. Suppose the following hierarchy of templates:

class Template(ComponentTemplate):
    property = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

class Item(Template):
    property = {'a': 3}

Here, the property of Item will overwrite those of Template and set the value to {‘a’: 3}. In some instances this is desired, in other instances it can be desired to have the property of Item be set to {‘a’: 3, ‘b’: 2}. To automatically merge the dictionaries with those of the parent you can use:

from mdt.component_templates.base import merge_dicts

class Item(Template):
   property = merge_dict({'a': 3})

mdt.component_templates.batch_profiles module

name

the name of the model, defaults to the class name

Type:str

description

model description

Type:str

return_type

the return type of this compartment, defaults to double.

Type:str

parameters

the list of parameters to use. A few options are possible per item, that is, if given:

• a string, we will look for a corresponding parameter with the given name
• an instance of a CLFunctionParameter subclass, this will then be used directly

• the literal @observation, this injects the current volume/observation into this function

  of type mot_float_type and name observation.

• the literal @observations, this injects a pointer to all the observations into this function.

  of type float and name observations.

• the literal @observation_ind, the index of the current observation we are computing the signal for,

  of type uint and name observation_ind.

• the literal @nmr_observation, injects the total number of observations,

  of type uint and name nmr_observation.

  and a struct as datatype. The struct type name is provided by this compartment name appended with _DataCache.

• the literal @noise_std, this injects the current value of the noise standard sigma parameter value

  of the likelihood function in this parameter.

Type:list

dependencies

the list of functions this function depends on, can contain string which will be resolved as library functions.

Type:list

cl_code

the CL code definition to use, please provide here the body of your CL function.

Type:str

cl_extra

additional CL code for your model. This will be prepended to the body of your CL function.

Type:str

constraints

additional inequality constraints for this model. Each constraint needs to be implemented as g(x) where we assume that g(x) <= 0. For example, to implement a simple inequality constraint like d >= dperp0, we first write it as dperp0 - d <= 0. We can then implement it as:

constraints = '''
    constraints[0] = dperp0 - d;
'''

To add more constraint, add another entry to the constraints array. MDT parses the given text and automatically recognizes the model parameter names and the number of constraints.

Type:str or None

prior

an extra MCMC sample prior for this compartment. This is additional to the priors defined in the parameters. This should be an instance of a CLFunction or a string with a CL function body. If the latter, the CLFunction is automatically constructed based on the content of the string.

Type:str or None

cache_info

the data cache information. This works in combination with specifying the @cache parameter for this compartment. The cache info should have two elements, fields and cl_code. The fields specify the items we need to store in the structure, the syntax per field is either a string like double alpha or a tuple like ('double', 'alpha'). Specifying a tuple also allows for specifying arrays like: ('double', 'beta', 10). The CL code given by cl_code is supposed to fill the cache. This cl_code will be wrapped in a function with as arguments all free parameters of the compartments, and the cache. The fields in the cache are accessible using *cache->alpha, i.e. dereferencing a pointer to a variable using the cache. An optional element in the cache info is “use_local_reduction” which specifies that for this compartment we use all workitems in the workgroup. If not set, or if False, we will execute the cache CL code only for the first work item. The default is True.

Type:dict

extra_optimization_maps

a list of functions to return extra information maps based on a point estimate. This is called after the model calculated uncertainties based on the Fisher Information Matrix. Therefore, these routines can propagate uncertainties in the estimates.

These functions should accept as single argument an object of type mdt.models.composite.ExtraOptimizationMapsInfo.

Examples:

extra_optimization_maps_funcs = [lambda d: {'FS': 1 - d['w']},
                                 lambda d: {'Kurtosis.MK': <...>},
                                 lambda d: {'Power2': d['foo']**2, 'Power3': d['foo']**3},

Type:list

extra_sampling_maps

extra_sampling_maps = [lambda s: {'MD': np.mean((s['d'] + s['dperp0'] + s['dperp1'])/3., axis=1)}
                      ...]

extra_optimization_maps

a list of functions to return extra information maps based on a point estimate. This is called after after the model calculated uncertainties based on the Fisher Information Matrix. Therefore, these routines can propagate uncertainties in the estimates.

These functions should accept as single argument an object of type mdt.models.composite.ExtraOptimizationMapsInfo.

Examples:

extra_optimization_maps = [lambda d: {'FS': 1 - d['w_ball.w']},
                           lambda d: {'Kurtosis.MK': <...>},

fixes = {'Ball.d': 3.0e-9,
         'NODDI_EC.kappa': SimpleAssignment('NODDI_IC.kappa'),
         'NODDI_EC.theta': 'NODDI_IC.theta'}

Next to values, this also accepts strings as dependencies (or dependecy objects directly).

Type:dict

indicating the upper bounds for the given parameters. Example:

upper_bounds = {'Stick.theta': pi}

Type:dict

lower_bounds

indicating the lower bounds for the given parameters. Example:

Type:dict

enforce_weights_sum_to_one

set to False to disable the automatic Weight-sum-to-one dependency. By default it is True and we add them.

Type:boolean

volume_selection

the volume selection by this model. This can be used to limit the volumes used in the analysis to only the volumes included in the specification. You can specify specific protocol names here for limiting the selected volumes. For example, for the Tensor model we can write:

volume_selection = {'b': [(0, 1.5e9 + 0.1e9)]}

To limit the volumes to the b-values between 0 and 1.6e9. If the method _get_suitable_volume_indices is overwritten, this does nothing.

Type:dict

prior

a model wide prior. This is used in conjunction with the compartment priors and the parameter priors.

Type:str or CLFunction or None

constraints

additional inequality constraints for this model. Each constraint needs to be implemented as g(x) where we assume that g(x) <= 0. For example, to implement a simple inequality constraint like Tensor.d >= Tensor.dperp0, we first write it as Tensor.dperp0 - Tensor.d <= 0. We can then implement it as:

constraints = 'constraints[0] = Tensor.dperp0 - Tensor.d;'

To add more constraint, add another entry to the constraints array. MDT parses the given text and automatically recognizes the model parameter names and the number of constraints.

class mdt.component_templates.parameters.AzimuthAngleParameterTemplate

Bases: mdt.component_templates.parameters.SphericalCoordinateParameterTemplate

Azimuth angle for use in spherical coordinate systems.

If a compartment uses both a PolarAngleParameterTemplate and AzimuthAngleParameterTemplate, the composite model will ensure that the resulting cartesian coordinates are within the right spherical hemisphere. This is possible since diffusion is symmetric.

In the background, we limit both the the polar angle and the azimuth angle between [0, pi] parameter between [0, pi] by projecting any other angle combination onto the right spherical hemisphere.

• Identity: no transformation
• Scale: scales the parameters (try to aim for a range between [0, 1])
• Positivity: ensures the parameters are positive
• Clamp: limits the parameter between its lower and upper bounds
• CosSqrClamp: changes the range of the optimized parameters to [0, 1] and ensures boundary constraints
• SinSqrClamp: same as CosSqrClamp
• SqrClamp: same as clamp but with an additional square root to change the magnitude of the range
• AbsModPi: ensures absolute modulus of the input parameters between zero and pi.
• AbsModTwoPi: ensures absolute modulus of the input parameters between zero and two pi.

the information necessary to take the numerical derivative of a model with respect to this parameter. Either a dictionary with the keyword arguments to SimpleNumDiffInfo or an information object directly. If None, we use an empty dictionary. Please note that if you override this, you will have to specify all of the items (no automatic inheritance of sub-items).

mdt.component_templates.utils module

class mdt.component_templates.utils.TemplateModifier(template)

Bases: object

Given a template instance, this class can update the properties of the template and write that to a file.

This will overwrite the template definition in the source file where the template was originally defined. If you desire a different location then first create a new file for the template.

Parameters:template (ComponentTemplate) – the template to update

get_source()

Return the current source code buffer.

Returns:the updated source code Return type:str

update(property_name, source_code_str)

Update the given property with the given source code.

This does not write the results to file immediately, rather, this updates an internal buffer with the updated source code. To write to file use write_to_file().

Parameters:

• property_name (str) – the property (attribute or function) to update
• source_code_str (str) – the updated source code for the property

write_to_file()

Write the updated source code to file.

This can be called repetitively after calling update() since this method will keep track of the current position in the file.
