我正在寻找效率增益来计算个别测量的(自动)协方差矩阵t
随时间t, t-1
等。
在数据矩阵中,每行代表一个人,每列代表每月测量值(列按时间顺序排列)。与以下数据类似(尽管有一些更多的协方差)。
# simulate data
set.seed(1)
periods <- 70L
ind <- 90000L
mat <- sapply(rep(ind, periods), rnorm)
下面是我想出的用于获得测量/滞后测量的协方差矩阵的(丑陋)代码。运行大约需要4秒钟。我确信通过转移到data.table
,更多地思考并且不依赖于循环,我可以减少大量的时间。但由于协方差矩阵无处不在,我怀疑在R中已经存在一种标准(且有效)的方法,我应该首先了解它。
# Get variance covariance matrix for 0-5 lags
n_lags <- 5L # Number of lags
vcov <- matrix(0, nrow = n_lags + 1L, ncol = n_lags + 1)
for (i in 0L:n_lags) {
for (j in i:n_lags) {
vcov[j + 1L, i + 1L] <-
sum(mat[, (1L + (j - i)):(periods - i)] *
mat[, 1L:(periods - j)]) /
(ind * (periods - j) - 1)
}
}
round(vcov, 3)
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6]
[1,] 1.001 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000

@F。 Privé的Rcpp
实施是一个很好的起点,但我们可以做得更好。您会注意到OP提供的主算法中有许多复制相当昂贵的计算。观察:
OPalgo <- function(m, p, ind1, n) {
vcov <- matrix(0, nrow = n + 1L, ncol = n + 1)
for (i in 0L:n) {
for (j in i:n) {
## lower and upper range for the first & second multiplicand
print(paste(c((1L + (j - i)),":",(periods - i),"
",1L,":",(periods - j)), collapse = ""))
vcov[j + 1L, i + 1L] <-
sum(mat[, (1L + (j - i)):(periods - i)] *
mat[, 1L:(periods - j)]) /
(ind * (periods - j) - 1)
}
}
vcov
}
OPalgo(mat, periods, ind, n_lags)
[1] "1:70 1:70" ## contains "1:65 1:65"
[1] "2:70 1:69"
[1] "3:70 1:68"
[1] "4:70 1:67"
[1] "5:70 1:66"
[1] "6:70 1:65"
[1] "1:69 1:69" ## contains "1:65 1:65"
[1] "2:69 1:68"
[1] "3:69 1:67"
[1] "4:69 1:66"
[1] "5:69 1:65"
[1] "1:68 1:68" ## contains "1:65 1:65"
[1] "2:68 1:67"
[1] "3:68 1:66"
[1] "4:68 1:65"
[1] "1:67 1:67" ## contains "1:65 1:65"
[1] "2:67 1:66"
[1] "3:67 1:65"
[1] "1:66 1:66" ## contains "1:65 1:65"
[1] "2:66 1:65"
[1] "1:65 1:65"
如您所见,产品mat[,1:65] * mat[,1:65]
执行了6次以上。第一次出现和最后一次出现之间的唯一区别是第一次出现有另外5列。所以不是计算:
sum(mat[ , 1:70] * mat[ , 1:70])
sum(mat[ , 1:69] * mat[ , 1:69])
sum(mat[ , 1:68] * mat[ , 1:68])
sum(mat[ , 1:67] * mat[ , 1:67])
sum(mat[ , 1:66] * mat[ , 1:66])
sum(mat[ , 1:65] * mat[ , 1:65])
我们可以计算preCalc[1] <- sum(mat[ , 1:65] * mat[ , 1:65])
一次,并在其他5个计算中使用它,如下所示:
preCalc[1] + sum(mat[ , 66:70] * mat[ , 66:70])
preCalc[1] + sum(mat[ , 66:69] * mat[ , 66:69])
preCalc[1] + sum(mat[ , 66:68] * mat[ , 66:68])
preCalc[1] + sum(mat[ , 66:67] * mat[ , 66:67])
preCalc[1] + sum(mat[ , 66:66] * mat[ , 66:66])
在上述每一项中,我们将乘法次数减少90000 * 65 = 5,850,000
,并将5,850,000 - 1 = 5,849,999
的加法次数减少,以保存总计11,699,999
次算术运算。以下功能实现了这一点。
fasterAlgo <- function(m, p, ind1, n) {
vcov <- matrix(0, nrow = n + 1L, ncol = n + 1)
preCals <- vapply(1:(n + 1L), function(x) sum(m[ , x:(p - n + x - 2L)] *
m[ , 1L:(p - n - 1L)]), 42.42)
for (i in 0L:n) {
for (j in i:n) {
myNum <- preCals[1L + j - i] + sum(m[, (p - n + j - i):(p - i)] * m[, (p - n):(p - j)])
vcov[j + 1L, i + 1L] <- myNum / (ind * (p - j) - 1)
}
}
vcov
}
## outputs same results
all.equal(OPalgo(mat, periods, ind, n_lags), fasterAlgo(mat, periods, ind, n_lags))
[1] TRUE

正如您所看到的,通过此修改,我们发现至少有3倍的改进,但Rcpp
仍然快得多。让我们在Rcpp
。
// [[Rcpp::export]]
NumericMatrix compute_vcov2(const NumericMatrix& mat, int n_lags) {
NumericMatrix vcov(n_lags + 1, n_lags + 1);
std::vector<double> preCalcs;
preCalcs.reserve(n_lags + 1);
double myCov;
int i, j, k1, k2, l;
int n = mat.nrow();
int m = mat.ncol();
for (i = 0; i <= n_lags; i++) {
myCov = 0;
for (k1 = i, k2 = 0; k2 < (m - n_lags - 1); k1++, k2++) {
for (l = 0; l < n; l++) {
myCov += mat(l, k1) * mat(l, k2);
}
}
preCalcs.push_back(myCov);
}
for (i = 0; i <= n_lags; i++) {
for (j = i; j <= n_lags; j++) {
myCov = preCalcs[j - i];
for (k1 = m - n_lags + j - i - 1, k2 = m - n_lags - 1; k2 < (m - j); k1++, k2++) {
for (l = 0; l < n; l++) {
myCov += mat(l, k1) * mat(l, k2);
}
}
myCov /= n * (m - j) - 1;
vcov(i, j) = vcov(j, i) = myCov;
}
}
return vcov;
}
## gives same results
all.equal(compute_vcov2(mat, n_lags), compute_vcov(mat, n_lags))

现在,增强型Rcpp
解决方案比原始Rcpp
解决方案快约3倍,比OP提供的原始算法快约50倍。
<强>更新强>
我们可以做得更好。我们可以反转索引i / j的范围,以便不断更新preCalcs
。这允许最多只计算每次迭代一个新列的乘积。当n_lags
增加时,这真的发挥作用。观察:
// [[Rcpp::export]]
NumericMatrix compute_vcov3(const NumericMatrix& mat, int n_lags) {
NumericMatrix vcov(n_lags + 1, n_lags + 1);
std::vector<double> preCalcs;
preCalcs.reserve(n_lags + 1);
int i, j, k1, k2, l;
int n = mat.nrow();
int m = mat.ncol();
for (i = 0; i <= n_lags; i++) {
preCalcs.push_back(0);
for (k1 = i, k2 = 0; k2 < (m - n_lags); k1++, k2++) {
for (l = 0; l < n; l++) {
preCalcs[i] += mat(l, k1) * mat(l, k2);
}
}
}
for (i = n_lags; i >= 0; i--) { ## reverse range
for (j = n_lags; j >= i; j--) { ## reverse range
vcov(i, j) = vcov(j, i) = preCalcs[j - i] / (n * (m - j) - 1);
if (i > 0 && i > 0) {
for (k1 = m - i, k2 = m - j; k2 <= (m - j); k1++, k2++) {
for (l = 0; l < n; l++) {
## updating preCalcs vector
preCalcs[j - i] += mat(l, k1) * mat(l, k2);
}
}
}
}
}
return vcov;
}
all.equal(compute_vcov(mat, n_lags), compute_vcov3(mat, n_lags))

最新版本的实施速度比原始版本Rcpp
快20倍以上,比n-lags
较大时原始算法快300倍以上。
答案 1 :(得分:9)
只需在Rcpp中翻译代码:
#include <Rcpp.h>
using namespace Rcpp;
// [[Rcpp::export]]
NumericMatrix compute_vcov(const NumericMatrix& mat, int n_lags) {
NumericMatrix vcov(n_lags + 1, n_lags + 1);
double myCov;
int i, j, k1, k2, l;
int n = mat.nrow();
int m = mat.ncol();
for (i = 0; i <= n_lags; i++) {
for (j = i; j <= n_lags; j++) {
myCov = 0;
for (k1 = j - i, k2 = 0; k2 < (m - j); k1++, k2++) {
for (l = 0; l < n; l++) {
myCov += mat(l, k1) * mat(l, k2);
}
}
myCov /= n * (m - j) - 1;
vcov(i, j) = vcov(j, i) = myCov;
}
}
return vcov;
}
这至少是R算法的10倍。 然而,我觉得它可以进一步优化。
