Module ateams.statistics.schedules

Functions

def constant(temperature)

A constant annealing schedule.

Args

temperature : float
The temperature to be returned.

Returns

A function passed to a model constructor.

def critical(field)

A constant annealing schedule which calculates the critical temperature of the model.

Args

field : int
The order of the field we're over.

Returns

A function passed to a Model constructor that returns the critical temperature of the Potts model.

def linear(steps, low=-10, high=10)

A linear temperature schedule.

Args

steps : int
Total number of steps in the experiment.
low : float
Lowest temperature we assign.
high : float
Highest temperature we assign.

Returns

A function that consumes a step number and returns a temperature.

def randomizedToConstant(constant, steps, hold=0.5, distribution=<function scaledUniform>)

A temperature schedule which samples spin values (according to distribution) less than the critical temperature of the model, then fixes the temperature at the critical temperature for some desired proportion of the runtime.

Args

steps : int
Total number of steps the experiment takes.
field : int
Order of the field we're over; used to compute critical temperature.
hold : float
Value in [0,1] which represents the proportion of the time the temperature is fixed at the critical temperature. Defaults to half random, half fixed.
distribution : Callable
Distribution from which we sample; default is a ln-normal distribution centered at 2 with variance 2.

Returns

A function that consumes a step number and returns a temperature.

def scaledUniform()

Negative log-normal distribution to get something like uniformity on [0,1] when exponentiated.

Returns

The negative of a draw from the log-normal distribution with mean 2 and variance 2.
