Bases:
nessai.proposal.base.Proposal
Class for drawing samples from analytic priors.
Will be used when
nessai
is called withanalytic_priors=True
and assumes thenessai.model.Model.new_point()
samples directly from the prior. This method must be implemented by the user.- Parameters
- args
Arguments passed to the parent class.
- poolsizeint, optional
Number of points drawn at once.
- kwargs
Keyword arguments passed to the parent class.
- property poolsize(self)
Poolsize used for drawing new samples in batches.
- populate(self, N=None)
Populate the pool by drawing from the priors.
Will also evaluate the likelihoods if the proposal contains a multiprocessing pool.
- Parameters
- Nint, optional
Number of samples to draw. If not specified
poolsize
will be used.
- draw(self, old_sample, **kwargs)
Propose a new sample. Draws from the pool if it is populated, else it populates the pool.
- Parameters
- old_samplestructured_array
Old sample, this is not used in the proposal method
- kwargs
Keyword arguments passed to
populate()
