grayboxes

grayboxes contributes to the creation and evaluation of white box, gray box and black box models of physical and chemical transport phenomena. Gray box models

• are hybrids of theory-driven and data-driven submodels

• can have adjustable degrees of transparency (the more transparent, the more theory-driven)

• are compatible to all operations of the grayboxes library:

  • Forward simulation
  • Minimization / maximization
  • Inverse problem solution
  • Sensitivity analysis

grayboxes is the base of the extension package coloredlids for implementation of distributed theoretical submodels. coloredlids based models are compatible to the model operations of the grayboxes package, see figure below.

Dependencies

• Modules lightgray and minimum are dependent on package modestga [MGA18]
• Module neuralnl is dependent on package neurolab [NLB15]
• Module neuraltf is dependent on package tensorflow [ABA15]

As an alternative to installation with setup.py, manual installation of the needed packages can be done with pip:

 pip install tensorflow=2.2.2 neurolab matplotlib modestga numpy pandas scipy
