NonnegativeGaussian#

class cuqi.implicitprior.NonnegativeGaussian(mean=None, cov=None, prec=None, sqrtcov=None, sqrtprec=None, **kwargs)#

Implicit Nonnegative Gaussian.

Defines a so-called implicit prior based on a Gaussian distribution with implicit nonnegativity constraints.

Can be used as a prior in a posterior which can be sampled with the RegularizedLinearRTO sampler.

Alias for RegularizedGaussian with only nonnegativity constraints.

For more details on implicit regularized Gaussian see the following paper:

[1] Everink, Jasper M., Yiqiu Dong, and Martin S. Andersen. “Sparse Bayesian inference with regularized Gaussian distributions.” Inverse Problems 39.11 (2023): 115004.

Parameters:

mean – See Gaussian for details.
cov – See Gaussian for details.
prec – See Gaussian for details.
sqrtcov – See Gaussian for details.
sqrtprec – See Gaussian for details.

__init__(mean=None, cov=None, prec=None, sqrtcov=None, sqrtprec=None, **kwargs)#

Initialize the core properties of the distribution.

Parameters:

name (str, default None) – Name of distribution.
geometry (Geometry, default _DefaultGeometry (or None)) – Geometry of distribution.
is_symmetric (bool, default None) – Indicator if distribution is symmetric.
