Method Details

__init__(self, pdf, state, temperature=1.0)
(Constructor)

source code 

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Parameters:
  • pdf (subclass of csb.statistics.pdf.AbstractDensity) - probability density function to sample from
  • state (State) - Initial state
  • 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)

sample(self)

Draw a sample.

Returns: State
Overrides: AbstractSampler.sample
