public class SensorTest
extends PropertyBundles

This class test the behaviour of the linear prediction and the derivative properties of the sensors. It takes the raw output of a sensor stored as ascii-data in a file and performs numerical derivative calculation on it according to the KEY_DERIVE property, and linear prediction according to the KEY_DATABASE, KEY_PREDICT, and KEY_FUTURE properties. The output data are writtn together with the input data to a column-ascii file.

The aim of this test is to find the most reliable derivators and linear predictors, possibly together with read-out times, for all sensors. Prediction should only be accurate for the next two minutes (closure time of the roof).

Constructor Detail

SensorTest

public SensorTest(Map<String,String> prop)

Constructs a new censor tester. Default properties set are linked to the keys KEY_FUTURE, KEY_COLUMN, KEY_FORMAT, and KEY_OUTFILE.

Method Detail

readInput

public boolean readInput()

Reads the input data. The input file must be an ascii-column file with at least the number of columns stated at KEY_COLUMN. At least this column must be parsable as a double.

Returns:

True, if at least some data points could be read.

readInputFile

private double[] readInputFile(File infile)

Reads the input data from the given file. The input file must be an ascii-column file with at least the number of columns stated at KEY_COLUMN. At least this column must be parsable as a double.

applySmoothing

public boolean applySmoothing()

Applies the savitzky-goolay filters stated in the KEY_SMOOTH property. This property is a comma-separated list of smoother-definition files. Each valid entry (i.e. entries that can be used to construct a savitsky-golay smoother) produces a data set that is the smoothened of the input data. The data missing due to the necessary pre-current data points is zero.

Returns:

True, if the smootherss were sucessfully applied.

smoothOne

private double[] smoothOne(double[] indata,
                           SavitzkyGolaySmoothing sgs)

Numerically derives an entire data set using a savitzky-golay filter. The returned data is of the same dimension as the input data and contains the numerically calculated derivative of the input data at all indices. Note that the first few output data must be zero, as they are needed as the prediction-base for the filter. The amount of leading zeros depends on the filter used.

applyDerivator

public boolean applyDerivator()

Applies the numerical derivators stated in the KEY_DERIVE property. This property is a comma-separated list of derivator-definition files. Each valid entry (i.e. entries that can be used to construct a savitsky-golay derivator) produces a data set that is the first derivative of the input data. The data missing due to the necessary pre-current data points is zero.

Returns:

True, if the derivators were sucessfully applied.

deriveOne

private double[] deriveOne(double[] indata,
                           SavitzkyGolaySmoothing sgs)

Numerically derives an entire data set using a savitzky-golay filter. The returned data is of the same dimension as the input data and contains the numerically calculated derivative of the input data at all indices. Note that the first few output data must be zero, as they are needed as the prediction-base for the filter. The amount of leading zeros depends on the filter used.

applyPrediction

public boolean applyPrediction()

Applies linear predictions as stated in the KEY_PREDICT property. This property is a comma-separated list of integers. Each integer corresponds to the number of linear-prediction coefficients used for the particular prediction. The input data base is constructed from the sensor readings and narrowed down to the KEY_DATABASE data-points back from the current sensor reading. Then, the linear prediction coefficients according to the KEY_PREDICT numbers are calculated. The linear prediction is then carried out for KEY_FUTURE data points starting from the current data point. This yields a single predicted value, stored in the output file. The data (sum of KEY_DATABASE and KEY_FUTURE) missing due to the necessary pre-current data points are zero.

Returns:

True, if the predicitons were sucessfully applied.

predictOne

private double[] predictOne(double[] indata,
                            int base,
                            int back,
                            int fut)

Applies linear prediction to the entire data set. Predictions can only start after the requested input-data base length. From there, again a certain number of values (the number of predicted values) are missing. From there, each input data is represented as a linear predicted value on output.
The prediction procedure is as follows:

• In the input data array, start current index at index base-1.
• Use the base data points from the current index to the past, transfer the data points into an auxilliar array and construct the linear prediction data base out of it.
• Use the back integer to calculate this number of LP coefficients.
• From current index, extrapolate fut data points into the future from current index.
• The single extrapolated value is stored at index current+fut on the output data set.
• Increase current index until the input data set length minus fut is reached.

applyExtrapolation

public boolean applyExtrapolation()

Applies extrapolation as stated in the KEY_EXTRAPOLATE property. This property is a comma-separated list of integers. Each integer corresponds to the number of measurements used for the particular prediction. The input data base is constructed from the sensor readings and narrowed down. Then, the extrapolating polynom is calculated. If the KEY_LINEAR switch is present, linear extrapolation is used, otherwise fitting to a parabolic is done. The extrapolation is then carried out for the single KEY_FUTURE data point, starting from the current data point. This yields a single predicted value, stored in the output file. The data (sum of KEY_EXTRAPOLATE and KEY_FUTURE) missing due to the necessary pre-current data points are zero.

Returns:

True, if the extrapolation were sucessfully applied.

extrapolateOne

private double[] extrapolateOne(double[] indata,
                                int base,
                                Extrapolation ext,
                                int fut)

Applies extrapolation to the entire data set. Extrapolation can only start after the requested input-data base length. From there, again a certain number of values (the number of predicted values) are missing. From there, each input data is represented as an extrapolated value on output.
The extrapolation procedure is as follows:

• In the input data array, start current index at index base-1.
• Use the base data points from the current index to the past, transfer the data points into an auxilliar array and set them as the data points in the extrapolator.
• From current index, extrapolate fut data points into the future from current index.
• The single extrapolated value is stored at index current+fut on the output data set.
• Increase current index until the input data set length minus fut is reached.

writeOutput

public void writeOutput()

Writes the output data. The output data is an ascii-file with columned data. The first column is the input data, followed by the derivative data. Each derivative column corresponds to a derivator named in the KEY_DERIVE property. After all derivative data, the linear predicted data is added. Each predicted column corresponds to a number of prediction coefficients, as stated in the KEY_PREDICT property.

writeHead

private void writeHead(BufferedWriter out)
                throws IOException

Writes a header to the output stream. The header starts with a '#' char to indicate a comment line. After that, the keyword ' in' follows. Each derivative data set present in the derivatives list adds a ' D#' entry, where '#' indicates the index of the derivator used. Using the predicted data sets in the predictions list, similar ' P#' character sequences are added.

Parameters:

out - The stream to write to

Throws:

IOException

writeData

private void writeData(BufferedWriter out)
                throws IOException

Writes the data sets. First data column is the input data, followed by the derivatives data, again followed by the data predictions.

Throws:

IOException

main

public static void main(String[] arg)
                 throws ParseException

The main method. Reads tthe command line arguments and parses them according to SensorTest.Parser. Note that the input file may only be specified with a switch, a command line argument is always a properties file.

Throws:

ParseException
