NUMERICAL

nquad

Integration over multiple variables.

Example of usage

Multiple integration over a two-feature measurement surface.

Usage / limitations

+Use when: Compute approximations and solve equations.

−Limitations: Check input requirements, mathematical assumptions and version-specific behaviour before using.

Mathematical formula

See method documentation: implementation and assumptions vary.

Code example (Python)

# DataLens.ai example — nquad
# Domain: laboratory sensor measurements and numerical analysis.
# Sample input is supplied by the Copy input + code + test action.
import numpy as np
from scipy import integrate, special
# Read a labelled time-series from the sample input.
t = np.array([row["minute"] for row in observations["records"]], dtype=float)
y = np.array([row["fluorescence_au"] for row in observations["records"]], dtype=float)

# Compute the method-specific result and check a numerical property.
result, error = integrate.nquad(lambda minute, signal: minute + signal, [[0,2],[0,3]])
assert np.isclose(result, 15, atol=1e-10) and error < 1e-8
print("Expected output verified")
