Method Details

### __init__(self, pdf, state, stepsize=1.0, proposal_density=None, temperature=1.0) (Constructor) | source code
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature Parameters: `pdf` (csb.statistics.pdf.AbstractDensity) - Probability density function to be sampled from `state` (State) - Inital state `stepsize` (float) - Serves to set the step size in proposal_density, e.g. for automatic acceptance rate adaption `proposal_density` (callable) - The proposal density as a function f(x, s) of the current state x and the stepsize s. By default, the proposal density is uniform, centered around x, and has width s. `temperature` (float) - Pseudo-temperature of the Boltzmann ensemble p(x) = 1/N * exp(-1/T * E(x)) with the pseudo-energy defined as E(x) = -log(p(x)) where p(x) is the PDF under consideration Overrides: object.__init__ (inherited documentation)
