(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__
