黑盒可能性示例

Blackbox likelihood example

我正在尝试了解如何在 pymc 中使用黑盒似然函数。基本上,这就是解释here。我已经尝试用一个非常简单的 Python 模型(双逻辑函数)自己实现这个,并且没有梯度。除了我提到的 link 中的代码,它围绕对数似然函数设置了 theano 包装器,我还有以下代码

# Define the model
def my_model(p, t, m_m, m_M):
    """An simple double logistic model"""
    return m_m + (m_M - m_m) * (
        1.0 / (1 + np.exp(-p[0] * (t - p[1] * 365)))
        + 1.0 / (1 + np.exp(p[2] * (t - p[3] * 365)))
        - 1
    )

# The loglikelihood function
def log_lklhood(theta, t, data, sigma):
    """Normal log-likelihoood"""
    y_pred = my_model(theta, t, data.max(), data.min())
    retval = -(0.5 / sigma ** 2) * np.sum((data - y_pred) ** 2)
    return retval

## Experimental data

data = np.array([0.104, 0.133, 0.131, 0.329, 0.669, 0.822, 0.847, 0.807, 0.638, 0.486, 0.162, 0.125])
t = np.array([1, 32, 61, 92, 122, 153, 183, 214, 245, 275, 306, 336])
sigma = 0.02 # Uncertainty in the observations
# Straight outta internet...
logl = LogLike(log_lklhood, data, t, sigma)
ndraws = 500  # number of draws from the distribution
nburn = 100  # number of "burn-in points" (which we'll discard)

# use PyMC3 to sampler from log-likelihood
with pm.Model():
    theta1 = pm.Normal("theta_1", mu=0, sigma=1, testval=0.1)
    theta3 = pm.Normal("theta_3", mu=0, sigma=1, testval=0.1)
    theta2 = pm.Uniform("theta_2", lower=0.01, upper=0.5, testval=120.0 / 365)
    theta4 = pm.Uniform("theta_4", lower=0.51, upper=0.99, testval=250.0 / 365)

    # convert theta1...theta4 to a tensor vector
    theta = tt.as_tensor_variable([theta1, theta2, theta3, theta4])
    # use a DensityDist (use a lamdba function to "call" the Op)
    pm.DensityDist("likelihood", lambda v: logl(v), observed={"v": theta})
    # Use simple metropolis
    step = pm.Metropolis()
    trace = pm.sample(ndraws, tune=nburn, step=step, discard_tuned_samples=True)

这遍历了采样,但随后失败并出现了相当神秘的错误:

Multiprocess sampling (2 chains in 2 jobs)

>Metropolis: [theta_2]
>Metropolis: [theta_3]
>Metropolis: [theta_1]

Sampling 2 chains for 5 tune and 500 draw iterations (10 + 1_000 draws total) took 2 seconds.

我是 pymc 的新手,所以真的不知道这个错误是什么意思,或者我做错了什么。有很多 SO 问题(0 这表明我正在调用一个 python 函数,使用 theano 数组作为问题的基础。但是,我看不出这是在哪里发生的.

所以事实证明黑盒可能性示例存在问题:不要使用 pm.DensityDist,而是 pm.Potential (see this arviz issue)。该示例现在可以正常工作,甚至使用 scipy.optimize.approx_fprime 来近似 log-likelihood:

        + 1.0 / (1 + np.exp(theta3 * (t - theta4)))
        - 1
    )

    logp = -len(data) * np.log(np.sqrt(2.0 * np.pi) * sigma)
    logp += -np.sum((data - y_pred) ** 2.0) / (2.0 * sigma ** 2.0)
    return logp

    grads = scipy.optimize.approx_fprime(theta[0], lnlike, eps * np.ones(len(theta)))
    return grads

    sigma = pm.HalfNormal("sigma", sigma=0.6, testval=0.01)
    # convert parameters to a tensor vector
    theta = tt.as_tensor_variable([theta1, theta2, theta3, theta4, sigma])
    # Do not use a DensityDist!
    pm.Potential("like", loglike(theta))

with model:
    trace = pm.sample(step=pm.NUTS())
    print(pm.summary(trace).to_string())

幸运的是,上面的代码导致了
