Method Details

### __init__(self, pdf, state, gradient, timestep, nsteps, mass_matrix=None, integrator=<class 'csb.numeric.integrators.FastLeapFrog'>, 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 `gradient` (AbstractGradient) - Gradient of the negative log-probability `timestep` (float) - Timestep used for integration `nsteps` (int) - Number of integration steps to be performed in each iteration `mass_matrix` (n-dimensional InvertibleMatrix with n being the dimension of the configuration space, that is, the dimension of the position / momentum vectors) - Mass matrix `integrator` (AbstractIntegrator) - Subclass of AbstractIntegrator to be used for integrating Hamiltionian equations of motion `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)
