Docutils¶

Support functions for sphinx et. al

ax.utils.common.docutils.copy_doc(src: Callable[[…], Any]) → Callable[[_T], _T][source]¶

A decorator that copies the docstring of another object

Since sphinx actually loads the python modules to grab the docstrings this works with both sphinx and the help function.

class Cat(Mamal):

  @property
  @copy_doc(Mamal.is_feline)
  def is_feline(self) -> true:
      ...

Equality¶

ax.utils.common.equality.dataframe_equals(df1: pandas.DataFrame, df2: pandas.DataFrame) → bool[source]¶

Compare equality of two pandas dataframes.

ax.utils.common.equality.datetime_equals(dt1: Optional[datetime.datetime], dt2: Optional[datetime.datetime]) → bool[source]¶

Compare equality of two datetimes, ignoring microseconds.

ax.utils.common.equality.equality_typechecker(eq_func: Callable) → Callable[source]¶

A decorator to wrap all __eq__ methods to ensure that the inputs are of the right type.

ax.utils.common.equality.object_attribute_dicts_equal(one_dict: Dict[str, Any], other_dict: Dict[str, Any]) → bool[source]¶

Utility to check if all items in attribute dicts of two Ax objects are the same.

NOTE: Special-cases some Ax object attributes, like “_experiment” or “_model”, where full equality is hard to check.

ax.utils.common.equality.object_attribute_dicts_find_unequal_fields(one_dict: Dict[str, Any], other_dict: Dict[str, Any], fast_return: bool = True, skip_db_id_check: bool = False) → Tuple[Dict[str, Tuple[Any, Any]], Dict[str, Tuple[Any, Any]]][source]¶

Utility for finding out what attributes of two objects’ attribute dicts are unequal.

Parameters

• one_dict – First object’s attribute dict (obj.__dict__).

• other_dict – Second object’s attribute dict (obj.__dict__).

• fast_return – Boolean representing whether to return as soon as a single unequal attribute was found or to iterate over all attributes and collect all unequal ones.

Returns

• attribute name to attribute values of unequal type (as a tuple),

• attribute name to attribute values of unequal value (as a tuple).

Return type

Two dictionaries

ax.utils.common.equality.same_elements(list1: List[Any], list2: List[Any]) → bool[source]¶

Compare equality of two lists of core Ax objects.

Assumptions:

– The contents of each list are types that implement __eq__ – The lists do not contain duplicates

Checking equality is then the same as checking that the lists are the same length, and that one is a subset of the other.

Equality¶

ax.utils.common.executils.handle_exceptions_in_retries(no_retry_exceptions: Tuple[Type[Exception], …], retry_exceptions: Tuple[Type[Exception], …], suppress_errors: bool, check_message_contains: Optional[str], last_retry: bool, logger: Optional[logging.Logger], wrap_error_message_in: Optional[str]) → Generator[None, None, None][source]¶

ax.utils.common.executils.retry_on_exception(exception_types: Optional[Tuple[Type[Exception], …]] = None, no_retry_on_exception_types: Optional[Tuple[Type[Exception], …]] = None, check_message_contains: Optional[List[str]] = None, retries: int = 3, suppress_all_errors: bool = False, logger: Optional[logging.Logger] = None, default_return_on_suppression: Optional[Any] = None, wrap_error_message_in: Optional[str] = None, initial_wait_seconds: Optional[int] = None) → Optional[Any][source]¶

A decorator for instance methods or standalone functions that makes them retry on failure and allows to specify on which types of exceptions the function should and should not retry.

NOTE: If the argument suppress_all_errors is supplied and set to True, the error will be suppressed and default value returned.

Parameters

• exception_types – A tuple of exception(s) types to catch in the decorated function. If none is provided, baseclass Exception will be used.

• no_retry_on_exception_types – Exception types to consider non-retryable even if their supertype appears in exception_types or the only exceptions to not retry on if no exception_types are specified.

• check_message_contains – A list of strings, against which to match error messages. If the error message contains any one of these strings, the exception will cause a retry. NOTE: This argument works in addition to exception_types; if those are specified, only the specified types of exceptions will be caught and retried on if they contain the strings provided as check_message_contains.

• retries – Number of retries to perform.

• suppress_all_errors – If true, after all the retries are exhausted, the error will still be suppressed and default_return_on_suppresion will be returned from the function. NOTE: If using this argument, the decorated function may not actually get fully executed, if it consistently raises an exception.

• logger – A handle for the logger to be used.

• default_return_on_suppression – If the error is suppressed after all the retries, then this default value will be returned from the function. Defaults to None.

• wrap_error_message_in – If raising the error message after all the retries, a string wrapper for the error message (useful for making error messages more user-friendly). NOTE: Format of resulting error will be: “<wrap_error_message_in>: <original_error_type>: <original_error_msg>”, with the stack trace of the original message.

• initial_wait_seconds – Initial length of time to wait between failures, doubled after each failure up to a maximum of 10 minutes. If unspecified then there is no wait between retries.

Kwargs¶

ax.utils.common.kwargs.consolidate_kwargs(kwargs_iterable: Iterable[Optional[Dict[str, Any]]], keywords: Iterable[str]) → Dict[str, Any][source]¶

Combine an iterable of kwargs into a single dict of kwargs, where kwargs by duplicate keys that appear later in the iterable get priority over the ones that appear earlier and only kwargs referenced in keywords will be used. This allows to combine somewhat redundant sets of kwargs, where a user-set kwarg, for instance, needs to override a default kwarg.

>>> consolidate_kwargs(
...     kwargs_iterable=[{'a': 1, 'b': 2}, {'b': 3, 'c': 4, 'd': 5}],
...     keywords=['a', 'b', 'd']
... )
{'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'd': 5}

ax.utils.common.kwargs.get_function_argument_names(function: Callable, omit: Optional[List[str]] = None) → List[str][source]¶

Extract parameter names from function signature.

ax.utils.common.kwargs.get_function_default_arguments(function: Callable) → Dict[str, Any][source]¶

Extract default arguments from function signature.

ax.utils.common.kwargs.validate_kwarg_typing(typed_callables: List[Callable], **kwargs: Any) → None[source]¶

Check if keywords in kwargs exist in any of the typed_callables and if the type of each keyword value matches the type of corresponding arg in one of the callables

Note: this function expects the typed callables to have unique keywords for the arguments and will raise an error if repeat keywords are found.

ax.utils.common.kwargs.warn_on_kwargs(callable_with_kwargs: Callable, **kwargs: Any) → None[source]¶

Log a warning when a decoder function receives unexpected kwargs.

NOTE: This mainly caters to the use case where an older version of Ax is used to decode objects, serialized to JSON by a newer version of Ax (and therefore potentially containing new fields). In that case, the decoding function should not fail when encountering those additional fields, but rather just ignore them and log a warning using this function.

Logger¶

class ax.utils.common.logger.AxOutputNameFilter(name='')[source]¶

Bases: logging.Filter

This is a filter which sets the record’s output_name, if not configured

filter(record: logging.LogRecord) → bool[source]¶

Determine if the specified record is to be logged.

Is the specified record to be logged? Returns 0 for no, nonzero for yes. If deemed appropriate, the record may be modified in-place.

ax.utils.common.logger.build_file_handler(filepath: str, level: int = 20) → logging.StreamHandler[source]¶

Build a file handle that logs entries to the given file, using the same formatting as the stream handler.

Parameters

Returns

A logging.StreamHandler instance

ax.utils.common.logger.disable_logger(name: str, level: int = 40) → Callable[[Callable[[…], Any]], Callable[[…], Any]][source]¶

Disables a specific logger by name (e.g. module path) by setting the log level at the given one for the duration of the decorated function’s call

ax.utils.common.logger.get_logger(name: str) → logging.Logger[source]¶

Get an Axlogger.

To set a human-readable “output_name” that appears in logger outputs, add {“output_name”: “[MY_OUTPUT_NAME]”} to the logger’s contextual information. By default, we use the logger’s name

NOTE: To change the log level on particular outputs (e.g. STDERR logs), set the proper log level on the relevant handler, instead of the logger e.g. logger.handers[0].setLevel(INFO)

Parameters

name – The name of the logger.

Returns

The logging.Logger object.

ax.utils.common.logger.set_stderr_log_level(level: int) → None[source]¶

Typeutils¶

ax.utils.common.typeutils.checked_cast(typ: Type[T], val: V) → T[source]¶

Cast a value to a type (with a runtime safety check).

Returns the value unchanged and checks its type at runtime. This signals to the typechecker that the value has the designated type.

Like typing.cast check_cast performs no runtime conversion on its argument, but, unlike typing.cast, checked_cast will throw an error if the value is not of the expected type. The type passed as an argument should be a python class.

Parameters

• typ – the type to cast to

• val – the value that we are casting

Returns

the val argument, unchanged

ax.utils.common.typeutils.checked_cast_complex(typ: Type[T], val: V, message: Optional[str] = None) → T[source]¶

Cast a value to a type (with a runtime safety check). Used for subscripted generics which isinstance cannot run against.

Returns the value unchanged and checks its type at runtime. This signals to the typechecker that the value has the designated type.

Like typing.cast check_cast performs no runtime conversion on its argument, but, unlike typing.cast, checked_cast will throw an error if the value is not of the expected type.

Parameters

• typ – the type to cast to

• val – the value that we are casting

• message – message to print on error

Returns

the val argument casted to typ

ax.utils.common.typeutils.checked_cast_dict(key_typ: Type[K], value_typ: Type[V], d: Dict[X, Y]) → Dict[K, V][source]¶

Parameters

• typ – the tuple of types to cast to

• val – the value that we are casting

Returns

the val argument, unchanged

Throws:

ValueError if val is None

ax.utils.common.typeutils.numpy_type_to_python_type(value: Any) → Any[source]¶

ax.utils.stats.statstools.inverse_variance_weight(means: numpy.ndarray, variances: numpy.ndarray, conflicting_noiseless: str = 'warn') → Tuple[float, float][source]¶

Perform inverse variance weighting.

Parameters

• means – The means of the observations.

• conflicting_noiseless – How to handle the case of multiple observations with zero variance but different means. Options are “warn” (default), “ignore” or “raise”.

ax.utils.stats.statstools.marginal_effects(df: pandas.DataFrame) → pandas.DataFrame[source]¶

This method calculates the relative (in %) change in the outcome achieved by using any individual factor level versus randomizing across all factor levels. It does this by estimating a baseline under the experiment by marginalizing over all factors/levels. For each factor level, then, it conditions on that level for the individual factor and then marginalizes over all levels for all other factors.

Parameters

df – Dataframe containing columns named mean and sem. All other columns are assumed to be factors for which to calculate marginal effects.

Returns

A dataframe containing columns “Name”, “Level”, “Beta” and “SE”

corresponding to the factor, level, effect and standard error. Results are relativized as percentage changes.

ax.utils.stats.statstools.positive_part_james_stein(means: Union[numpy.ndarray, List[float]], sems: Union[numpy.ndarray, List[float]]) → Tuple[numpy.ndarray, numpy.ndarray][source]¶

Estimation method for Positive-part James-Stein estimator.

This method takes a vector of K means (y_i) and standard errors (sigma_i) and calculates the positive-part James Stein estimator.

Resulting estimates are the shrunk means and standard errors. The positive part James-Stein estimator shrinks each constituent average to the grand average:

y_i - phi_i * y_i + phi_i * ybar

The variable phi_i determines the amount of shrinkage. For phi_i = 1, mu_hat is equal to ybar (the mean of all y_i), while for phi_i = 0, mu_hat is equal to y_i. It can be shown that restricting phi_i <= 1 dominates the unrestricted estimator, so this method restricts phi_i in this manner. The amount of shrinkage, phi_i, is determined by:

(K - 3) * sigma2_i / s2

That is, less shrinkage is applied when individual means are estimated with greater precision, and more shrinkage is applied when individual means are very tightly clustered together. We also restrict phi_i to never be larger than 1.

The variance of the mean estimator is:

(1 - phi_i) * sigma2_i + phi * sigma2_i / K + 2 * phi_i ** 2 * (y_i - ybar)^2 / (K - 3)

The first term is the variance component from y_i, the second term is the contribution from the mean of all y_i, and the third term is the contribution from the uncertainty in the sum of squared deviations of y_i from the mean of all y_i.

For more information, see https://ax.dev/docs/models.html#empirical-bayes-and-thompson-sampling.

Parameters

• means – Means of each arm

• sems – Standard errors of each arm

Returns

Empirical Bayes estimate of each arm’s mean sem_i: Empirical Bayes estimate of each arm’s sem

Return type

mu_hat_i

ax.utils.stats.statstools.relativize(means_t: Union[numpy.ndarray, List[float], float], sems_t: Union[numpy.ndarray, List[float], float], mean_c: float, sem_c: float, bias_correction: bool = True, cov_means: Union[numpy.ndarray, List[float], float] = 0.0, as_percent: bool = False) → Tuple[numpy.ndarray, numpy.ndarray][source]¶

Ratio estimator based on the delta method.

This uses the delta method (i.e. a Taylor series approximation) to estimate the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the ratio between test and control – that is, the sampling distribution of an estimator of the true population value under the assumption that the means in test and control have a known covariance:

(mu_t / mu_c) - 1.

Under a second-order Taylor expansion, the sampling distribution of the relative change in empirical means, which is m_t / m_c - 1, is approximately normally distributed with mean

[(mu_t - mu_c) / mu_c] - [(sigma_c)^2 * mu_t] / (mu_c)^3

and variance

(sigma_t / mu_c)^2 - 2 * mu_t _ sigma_tc / mu_c^3 + [(sigma_c * mu_t)^2 / (mu_c)^4]

as the higher terms are assumed to be close to zero in the full Taylor series. To estimate these parameters, we plug in the empirical means and standard errors. This gives us the estimators:

[(m_t - m_c) / m_c] - [(s_c)^2 * m_t] / (m_c)^3

and

(s_t / m_c)^2 - 2 * m_t * s_tc / m_c^3 + [(s_c * m_t)^2 / (m_c)^4]

Returns

Inferred means of the sampling distribution of

the relative change (mean_t / mean_c) - 1

sem_hat: Inferred standard deviation of the sampling

distribution of rel_hat – i.e. the standard error.

Run a simulated trial.

Parameters

• runtime – The runtime of the simulation. Typically sampled from the runtime model of a simulation model.

Internally, the runtime is scaled by the time_scaling factor, so that the simulation can run arbitrarily faster than the underlying evaluation.

state() → ax.utils.testing.backend_simulator.BackendSimulatorState[source]¶

Return a BackendSimulatorState containing the state of the simulator.

property use_internal_clock¶

Whether or not we are using the internal clock.

class ax.utils.testing.backend_simulator.BackendSimulatorOptions(max_concurrency: int = 1, time_scaling: float = 1.0, failure_rate: float = 0.0, internal_clock: Optional[float] = None, use_update_as_start_time: bool = False)[source]¶

Bases: object

Settings for the BackendSimulator.

Parameters

• max_concurrency – The maximum number of trials that can be run in parallel.

• time_scaling – The factor to scale down the runtime of the tasks by. If runtime is the actual runtime of a trial, the simulation time will be runtime / time_scaling.

• failure_rate – The rate at which the trials are failing. For now, trials fail independently with at coin flip based on that rate.

• internal_clock – The initial state of the internal clock. If None, the simulator uses time.time() as the clock.

• use_update_as_start_time – Whether the start time of a new trial should be logged as the current time (at time of update) or end time of previous trial. This makes sense when using the internal clock and the BackendSimulator is simulated forward by an external process (such as Scheduler).
