msmbuilder.msm.MarkovStateModel

class msmbuilder.msm.MarkovStateModel(lag_time=1, n_timescales=None, reversible_type='mle', ergodic_cutoff='on', prior_counts=0, sliding_window=True, verbose=True)

Reversible Markov State Model

This model fits a first-order Markov model to a dataset of integer-valued timeseries. The key estimated attribute, transmat_ is a matrix containing the estimated probability of transitioning between pairs of states in the duration specified by lag_time.

Unless otherwise specified, the model is constrained to be reversible (satisfy detailed balance), which is appropriate for equilibrium chemical systems.

Parameters:
lag_time : int

The lag time of the model

n_timescales : int, optional

The number of dynamical timescales to calculate when diagonalizing the transition matrix. If not specified, it will compute n_states - 1

reversible_type : {‘mle’, ‘transpose’, None}

Method by which the reversibility of the transition matrix is enforced. ‘mle’ uses a maximum likelihood method that is solved by numerical optimization, and ‘transpose’ uses a more restrictive (but less computationally complex) direct symmetrization of the expected number of counts.

ergodic_cutoff : float or {‘on’, ‘off’}, default=’on’

Only the maximal strongly ergodic subgraph of the data is used to build an MSM. Ergodicity is determined by ensuring that each state is accessible from each other state via one or more paths involving edges with a number of observed directed counts greater than or equal to ergodic_cutoff. By setting ergodic_cutoff to 0 or ‘off’, this trimming is turned off. Setting it to ‘on’ sets the cutoff to the minimal possible count value.

prior_counts : float, optional

Add a number of “pseudo counts” to each entry in the counts matrix after ergodic trimming. When prior_counts == 0 (default), the assigned transition probability between two states with no observed transitions will be zero, whereas when prior_counts > 0, even this unobserved transitions will be given nonzero probability.

sliding_window : bool, optional

Count transitions using a window of length lag_time, which is slid along the sequences 1 unit at a time, yielding transitions which contain more data but cannot be assumed to be statistically independent. Otherwise, the sequences are simply subsampled at an interval of lag_time.

verbose : bool

Enable verbose printout

Attributes:
n_states_ : int

The number of states in the model

mapping_ : dict

Mapping between “input” labels and internal state indices used by the counts and transition matrix for this Markov state model. Input states need not necessarily be integers in (0, …, n_states_ - 1), for example. The semantics of mapping_[i] = j is that state i from the “input space” is represented by the index j in this MSM.

countsmat_ : array_like, shape = (n_states_, n_states_)

Number of transition counts between states. countsmat_[i, j] is counted during fit(). The indices i and j are the “internal” indices described above. No correction for reversibility is made to this matrix.

transmat_ : array_like, shape = (n_states_, n_states_)

Maximum likelihood estimate of the reversible transition matrix. The indices i and j are the “internal” indices described above.

populations_ : array, shape = (n_states_,)

The equilibrium population (stationary eigenvector) of transmat_

eigenvalues_

Eigenvalues of the transition matrix.

eigtransform(sequences, right=True, mode='clip')

Transform a list of sequences by projecting the sequences onto the first n_timescales dynamical eigenvectors.

Parameters:
sequences : list of array-like

List of sequences, or a single sequence. Each sequence should be a 1D iterable of state labels. Labels can be integers, strings, or other orderable objects.

right : bool

Which eigenvectors to map onto. Both the left (\(\Phi\)) and the right (:math`Psi`) eigenvectors of the transition matrix are commonly used, and differ in their normalization. The two sets of eigenvectors are related by the stationary distribution

\Phi_i(x) = \Psi_i(x) * \mu(x)

In the MSM literature, the right vectors (default here) are approximations to the transfer operator eigenfunctions, whereas the left eigenfunction are approximations to the propagator eigenfunctions. For more details, refer to reference [1].

mode : {‘clip’, ‘fill’}

Method by which to treat labels in sequences which do not have a corresponding index. This can be due, for example, to the ergodic trimming step.

clip

Unmapped labels are removed during transform. If they occur at the beginning or end of a sequence, the resulting transformed sequence will be shorted. If they occur in the middle of a sequence, that sequence will be broken into two (or more) sequences. (Default)

fill

Unmapped labels will be replaced with NaN, to signal missing data. [The use of NaN to signal missing data is not fantastic, but it’s consistent with current behavior of the pandas library.]

Returns:
transformed : list of 2d arrays

Each element of transformed is an array of shape (n_samples, n_timescales) containing the transformed data.

  • lv[:, 0] is the equilibrium populations and is normalized such that sum(lv[:, 0]) == 1`
  • The eigenvectors satisfy sum(lv[:, i] * lv[:, i] / model.populations_) == 1. In math notation, this is \(<\phi_i, \phi_i>_{\mu^{-1}} = 1\)
Returns:
lv : array-like, shape=(n_states, n_timescales+1)

The columns of lv, lv[:, i], are the left eigenvectors of transmat_.

partial_transform(sequence, mode='clip')

A 1D iterable of state labels. Labels can be integers, strings, or other orderable objects.

mode : {‘clip’, ‘fill’}

Method by which to treat labels in sequence which do not have a corresponding index. This can be due, for example, to the ergodic trimming step.

clip

Unmapped labels are removed during transform. If they occur at the beginning or end of a sequence, the resulting transformed sequence will be shorted. If they occur in the middle of a sequence, that sequence will be broken into two (or more) sequences. (Default)

fill

Unmapped labels will be replaced with NaN, to signal missing data. [The use of NaN to signal missing data is not fantastic, but it’s consistent with current behavior of the pandas library.]

    or \(<\psi_i, \psi_i>_{\mu} = 1\)

Returns:
rv : array-like, shape=(n_states, n_timescales+1)

The columns of lv, rv[:, i], are the right eigenvectors of transmat_.

state : {None, ndarray, label}

Specify the starting state for the chain.

None

Choose the initial state by randomly drawing from the model’s stationary distribution.

array-like

If state is a 1D array with length equal to n_states_, then it is is interpreted as an initial multinomial distribution from which to draw the chain’s initial state. Note that the indexing semantics of this array must match the _internal_ indexing of this model.

otherwise

Otherwise, state is interpreted as a particular deterministic state label from which to begin the trajectory.
