Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method of propagating a first function, which is defined over a first state, to a second state in a multi-state space. The method identifies vectors to project from at least some points on the first state that serve as locations of inflection points in the first function; where the vectors are identified based on a model that allows penalizes measurements in certain directions more than other directions. Based on the projected vectors, the method then computes the second function from the first function.
Claims2
For a multi-state space, a method of propagating a first function, which is defined over a first state, to a second state, the method comprising:
- a) identifying vectors to project from at least some points on the first state that serve as locations of inflection points in the first function;
- wherein the vectors are identified based on a model that penalizes measurements in certain directions more than other directions;
- b) based on the projected vectors, computing the second state from the first function.
