API Documentation

The safemdp package implements tools for safe exploration in finite MDPs.

Main classes

These classes provide the main functionality for the safe exploration

SafeMDP(graph, gp, S_hat0, h, L[, beta]) Base class for safe exploration in MDPs.
link_graph_and_safe_set(graph, safe_set) Link the safe set to the graph model.
reachable_set(graph, initial_nodes[, out]) Compute the safe, reachable set of a graph
returnable_set(graph, reverse_graph, ...[, out]) Compute the safe, returnable set of a graph

Grid world

Some additional functionality specific to gridworlds.

GridWorld(gp, world_shape, step_size, beta, ...) Grid world with Safe exploration
states_to_nodes(states, world_shape, step_size) Convert physical states to node numbers.
nodes_to_states(nodes, world_shape, step_size) Convert node numbers to physical states.
draw_gp_sample(kernel, world_shape, step_size) Draws a sample from a Gaussian process distribution over a user
grid_world_graph(world_size) Create a graph that represents a grid world.
grid(world_shape, step_size) Creates grids of coordinates and indices of state space
compute_true_safe_set(world_shape, altitude, h) Computes the safe set given a perfect knowledge of the map
compute_true_S_hat(graph, safe_set, ...[, ...]) Compute the true safe set with reachability and returnability.
compute_S_hat0(s, world_shape, n_actions, ...) Compute a valid initial safe seed.
shortest_path(source, next_sample, G) Computes shortest safe path from a source to the next state-action pair
path_to_boolean_matrix(path, graph, S) Computes a S-like matrix for approaches where performances is based on the trajectory of the agent (e.g.
safe_subpath(path, altitudes, h) Computes the maximum subpath of path along which the safety constraint is

Utilities

The following are utilities to make testing and working with the library more pleasant.

DifferenceKernel(kernel) A fake kernel that can be used to predict differences two function values.
max_out_degree(graph) Compute the maximum out_degree of a graph
