pymc.Empirical#

class pymc.Empirical(trace=None, size=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Single Group Full Rank Approximation

Builds Approximation instance from a given trace, it has the same interface as variational approximation

Methods

`Empirical.__init__`([trace, size])
`Empirical.collect`(item)
`Empirical.evaluate_over_trace`(node)	Allows to statically evaluate any symbolic expression over the trace.
`Empirical.get_optimization_replacements`(s, d)	Dev - optimizations for logP.
`Empirical.make_size_and_deterministic_replacements`(s, d)	Dev - creates correct replacements for initial depending on sample size and deterministic flag
`Empirical.rslice`(name)	Dev - vectorized sampling for named random variable without call to pytensor.scan.
`Empirical.sample`([draws, random_seed, ...])	Draw samples from variational posterior.
`Empirical.sample_node`(node[, size, ...])	Samples given node or nodes over shared posterior
`Empirical.set_size_and_deterministic`(node, s, d)	Dev - after node is sampled via `symbolic_sample_over_posterior()` or `symbolic_single_sample()` new random generator can be allocated and applied to node
`Empirical.symbolic_sample_over_posterior`(node)	Dev - performs sampling of node applying independent samples from posterior each time.
`Empirical.symbolic_single_sample`(node[, ...])	Dev - performs sampling of node applying single sample from posterior.
`Empirical.to_flat_input`(node[, ...])	Dev - replace vars with flattened view stored in self.inputs
