RegularizedUnboundedUniform

class cuqi.implicitprior.RegularizedUnboundedUniform(geometry, proximal=None, projector=None, constraint=None, regularization=None, **kwargs)

Implicit Regularized Unbounded Uniform.

Defines a so-called implicit prior with implicit regularization on a Gaussian distribution with zero precision. The regularization can be defined in the form of a proximal operator or a projector. Alternatively, preset constraints and regularization can be used.

For regularization of the form f(x), provide a single proximal operator.

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

Alias for RegularizedGaussian with zero mean and zero sqrtprec.

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:

• geometry (Geometry or integer) – The geometry of the underlying variable. Defines the dimension of the distribution.

• proximal (callable f(x, scale) or None) – Euclidean proximal operator f of the regularization function g, that is, a solver for the optimization problem min_z 0.5||x-z||_2^2+scale*g(x).

• projector (callable f(x) or None) – Euclidean projection onto the constraint C, that is, a solver for the optimization problem min_(z in C) 0.5||x-z||_2^2.

• constraint (string or None) –

  Preset constraints. Can be set to “nonnegativity” and “box”. Required for use in Gibbs. For “box”, the following additional parameters can be passed: lower_bound : array_like or None

  Lower bound of box, defaults to zero

  upper_boundarray_like

  Upper bound of box, defaults to one

• regularization (string or None) –

  Preset regularization. Can be set to “l1”. Required for use in Gibbs in future update. For “l1”, the following additional parameters can be passed: strength : scalar

  Regularization parameter, i.e., strength*||x||_1 , defaults to one

__init__(geometry, proximal=None, projector=None, constraint=None, regularization=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.
