Refactoring stanify: Mismatching initialization stock value

Closed this issue · 6 comments

Stanify(.mdl) writes the following as production_start_rate in ode_vensim_function function in function block.

max(0, 1 + 2 + 2 * 1 - 2 + 2 * 1 / 7) 
+ 6 * max(0, 1 + 2 + 2 * 1 - 2 + 2 * 1 / 7) 
- 6 * max(0, 1 + 2 + 2 * 1 - 2 + 2 * 1 / 7) / 3

When wip_adjustement_time = 3, manufacturing_cycle_time = 6, inventory_adjustment_time = 8, time_to_average_order_rate = 8:

max(0, 1 + 2 + 2 * 1 - 2 + 2 * 1 / 8) 
+ 6 * max(0, 1 + 2 + 2 * 1 - 2 + 2 * 1 / 8) 
- 6 * max(0, 1 + 2 + 2 * 1 - 2 + 2 * 1 / 8) / 3;

When wip_adjustement_time = 2, manufacturing_cycle_time = 8, inventory_adjustment_time = 8, time_to_average_order_rate = 8:

max(0,
+ 8 * max(0, 1 + 2 + 2 * 1 - 2 + 2 * 1 / 8) 
- 8 * max(0, 1 + 2 + 2 * 1 - 2 + 2 * 1 / 8) 
      + max(0, 1 + 2 + 2 * 1 - 2 + 2 * 1  / 8) / 2)

Whereas manual computing replacing the following equation with values assigned in vensim (below) returns:

max(0, 
        (+ 8 * max(0, 1 + (+ (2 + 2) * 2 
                           - (2 + 2) * 2
                           )/8) 
         - 8 * max(0, 1 + (+ (2 + 2) * 2 
                           - (2 + 2) * 2
                           )/8) 
        )/8 
+ 
max(0, 
              1 + (+ 1 * (2 + 2) 
                   - 1 * (2 + 2)
                )/8
            )

What's done:
Codegen no longer blindly substitutes expressions in place of variable names (this led to problems regarding order of operations)
function block builder now uses the topological sort class instead of implementing it inside.

TODO:
Don't differentiate between stock initialization variables(__init) and other auxiliary variables that's required to evaluate the init values when sorting.

Revert stan vensim model interface to use keyword arguments to pass options instead of a dictionary

My setting_assumption is as follows:

setting_assumption = {
    "est_param_scalar" : ("inventory_adjustment_time", "minimum_order_processing_time"),
    "ass_param_scalar" : ("inventory_coverage", "manufacturing_cycle_time", "safety_stock_coverage", "time_to_average_order_rate", "wip_adjustment_time"),
    "target_simulated_vector" : ( "production_rate_stocked", "production_start_rate_stocked"),
    "driving_data_vector" : ("customer_order_rate", "process_noise_std_norm_data", "production_start_rate_m_noise_trun_norm_data", "production_rate_m_noise_trun_norm_data"),
    "model_name": "mngInven",
    "integration_times": list(range(1, n_t + 1)),
    "initial_time": 0.0
}

For further data analysis, I need the list of classified parameters e.g. est_param_scalarwhich is ["inventory_adjustment_time", "minimum_order_processing_time"]

If we change as your suggestion, could model.est_param_scalar be used simply instead of model.setting_assumption['est_param_scalar']? Without dictionary, I don't how to contain list of somethings.

Q1.
I don't understand StanModelContext which has six input? as follows

class StanModelContext:
    initial_time: float
    integration_times: Iterable[float]
    stan_data: Dict[str, StanDataEntry] = field(default_factory=dict)
    sample_statements: List[SamplingStatement] = field(default_factory=list)
    exposed_parameters: Set[str] = field(default_factory=set)  # stan variables to be passed to the ODE function
    all_stan_variables: Set[str] = field(default_factory=set)  # set of all stan variables

is initialized with only first two input? Could stan_data, sample_statements be initialized later? https://github.com/Data4DM/BayesSD/blob/master/ContinuousCode/5_BayesCalib/stanify/builders/stan/stan_model.py#L169 only uses initial_time, integration_times.

case 1

Tracking work_in_process_inventory_init,

Work in Process Inventory
= Desired WIP
= Manufacturing Cycle Time*Desired Production
= 6.01 * MAX(0,Expected Order Rate+Adjustment from Inventory)
= 6.01 * MAX(0, Customer Order Rate + (Desired Inventory - Inventory)/Inventory Adjustment Time)

Inventory_init = Desired Inventory

= 6.01 * MAX(0, 10.01 + (Desired Inventory Coverage*Expected Order Rate - Desired Inventory Coverage*Expected Order Rate )/7.01)

= 60

which is 
6.01 * MAX(0, 10.01 + (Desired Inventory Coverage*Expected Order Rate - Desired Inventory Coverage*Expected Order Rate )/7.01)

In stan, ((6.01) * (fmax(0, ((10.01)) + ((((0.5) + (2.01)) * ((10.01))) - ((((0.5) + (2.01)) * ((10.01)))) / (7.01)))));

((10.01)) + ((((0.5) + (2.01)) * ((10.01))) - ((((0.5) + (2.01)) * ((10.01)))) / (7.01))))

which is

6.01 *  (10.01 + ((((0.5) + (2.01)) * ((10.01))) - ((((0.5) + (2.01)) * ((10.01)))) / (7.01)))

The following two should be the same:
 ((0.5 + 2.01) * (10.01)) - (((0.5 + 2.01) * 10.01)) / 7.01

 ((0.5 + 2.01) * (10.01)) - (((0.5 + 2.01) * 10.01)) / 7.01

The inventory and its initial value desired_inventory should be crossed out, but not a-a/7 instead of '(a-a)/7` is happening.

case 2

process_noise__init = 1 * 0.1 * 2 - 0.0625 / 10 / 0.0625 / 10 ^ 0.5;
2 - 0.0625 / 10 / 0.0625 / 10 ^ 0.5's equation is ((2-time_step/correlation_time)/(time_step/correlation_time))^0.5 which is not what it is translated.

Process noise's initial value structure is as below:

case3

Different function codes are generated (sorting order I assume) which is why even with the recompile-prevention code if f.read().rstrip() == function_code.rstrip(): it keeps recompile.

case 4

real inventory__init = (170000) * ((0.5) + (2.01));

from draw2data structure, hopefully, there seems be a way to parenthesize in order.
