class StateWithParameterOverride

Stores both the sampling status and also a dictionary that contains an dictionary with parameter names as key and (n_particles, *) arrays as meanings. The latter represent a parameter per chain for the next mutation step.

parameter_override: Dict[str, blackjax.types.ArrayTree]

In the context of an SMC sampler (whose step_fn returning state has a .particles attribute), there’s an inner MCMC that is used to perturbate/update each of the particles. This adaptation tunes some parameter of that MCMC, based on particles. The parameter type must be a valid JAX type.

Parameters:

• smc_algorithm – Either blackjax.adaptive_tempered_smc or blackjax.tempered_smc (or any other implementation of a sampling algorithm that returns an SMCState and SMCInfo pair).

• logprior_fn – A function that computes the log density of the prior distribution

• loglikelihood_fn – A function that returns the probability at a given position.

• mcmc_step_fn – The transition kernel, should take as parameters the dictionary output of mcmc_parameter_update_fn. mcmc_step_fn(rng_key, state, tempered_logposterior_fn, **mcmc_parameter_update_fn())

• mcmc_init_fn – A callable that initializes the inner kernel

• mcmc_parameter_update_fn – A callable that takes the SMCState and SMCInfo at step i and constructs a parameter to be used by the inner kernel in i+1 iteration.

• extra_parameters – parameters to be used for the creation of the smc_algorithm.

• logprior_fn – A function that computes the log density of the prior distribution

• loglikelihood_fn – A function that returns the probability at a given position.

• mcmc_step_fn – The transition kernel, should take as parameters the dictionary output of mcmc_parameter_update_fn.

• mcmc_init_fn – A callable that initializes the inner kernel

• mcmc_parameter_update_fn – A callable that takes the SMCState and SMCInfo at step i and constructs a parameter to be used by the inner kernel in i+1 iteration.

• initial_parameter_value – Parameter to be used by the mcmc_factory before the first iteration.

• extra_parameters – parameters to be used for the creation of the smc_algorithm.

Return type:

A SamplingAlgorithm.
