setDistribution

Set distribution of parameter in sdo.ParameterSpace object

Syntax

ps = setDistribution(ps0,p,pdist)


Description

ps = setDistribution(ps0,p,pdist) updates the ParameterDistributions property of the sdo.ParameterSpace object, ps0, for the specified parameters, p, and returns the updated object, ps.

Input Arguments

ps0	Parameter space, specified as an sdo.ParameterSpace object.
p	Parameters whose distributions are to be updated, specified as one of the following: Vector of param.Continuous objects — Parameter objects. For example, p = sdo.getParameterFromModel('sdoHydraulicCylinder','Ac'). Parameter name, specified as a character vector or string. For example, 'Ac'.
pdist	Probability distribution for model parameters, specified as a vector of univariate probability distribution objects. If pdist is the same size as p, the software specifies each entry of pdist as the probability distribution of the corresponding parameter in p. If pdist contains only one distribution, the software specifies this object as the probability distribution for all the parameters in p. Use the makedist command to create a univariate probability distribution object. For example, makedist('Normal','mu',10,'sigma',3). To check if pdist is a univariate distribution object, run isa(pdist,'prob.UnivariateDistribution').

Output Arguments

ps	Updated parameter space, returned as an sdo.ParameterSpace object.

Examples

Set Distribution of Parameters in Parameter Space

Create an sdo.ParameterSpace object for the Ac and K parameters of sdoHydraulicCylinder model.

load_system('sdoHydraulicCylinder');
p = sdo.getParameterFromModel('sdoHydraulicCylinder',{'Ac','K'});
ps = sdo.ParameterSpace(p);

By default, a uniform distribution is specified for all parameters in p.

ps.ParameterDistributions

ans = 
  1x2 UniformDistribution array

Specify a normal distribution for Ac and K.

pAcdist = makedist('Normal','mu',p(1).Value,'sigma',1);
pKdist = makedist('Normal','mu',p(2).Value,'sigma',3);
ps = setDistribution(ps,p,[pAcdist;pKdist]);
