v0.14.0
- New flexible interface API (#378). This is going to be a breaking change for users of
the flexible interface and you will have to change your code. Old syntax:
from sbi.inference import SNPE, prepare_for_sbi
simulator, prior = prepare_for_sbi(simulator, prior)
inference = SNPE(simulator, prior)
# Simulate, train, and build posterior.
posterior = inference(num_simulation=1000)
New syntax:
from sbi.inference import SNPE, prepare_for_sbi, simulate_for_sbi
simulator, prior = prepare_for_sbi(simulator, prior)
inference = SNPE(prior)
theta, x = simulate_for_sbi(simulator, proposal=prior, num_simulations=1000)
density_estimator = inference.append_simulations(theta, x).train()
posterior = inference.build_posterior(density_estimator) # MCMC kwargs go here.
More information can be found here here.
- Fixed typo in docs for
infer
(thanks @glouppe, #370) - New
RestrictionEstimator
to learn regions of bad simulation outputs (#390) - Improvements for and new ABC methods (#395)
- Linear regression adjustment as in Beaumont et al. 2002 for both MCABC and SMCABC
- Semi-automatic summary statistics as in Fearnhead & Prangle 2012 for both MCABC and SMCABC
- Small fixes to perturbation kernel covariance estimation in SMCABC.
