cov_time_trend

pyoptex.doe.fixed_structure.cov.cov_time_trend(ntime, nruns)[source]

Covariance function to account for time trends. The entire experiment is divided in ntime equidistant sections

For example, if ntime is 3 and nruns is 6, then the time trend is [-1, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1]

Parameters

ntimeint

The total number of distinct time points.

nrunsint

The total number of runs in the design.

Returns

covfunc(Y, X)

The covariance function.
