GHQuadratureIntegrator

GHQuadratureIntegrator(num_points=20)

Bases: AbstractIntegrator

Compute an integral using Gauss-Hermite quadrature.

Gauss-Hermite quadrature is a method for approximating integrals through a weighted sum of function evaluations at specific points $$ \int F(t)\exp(-t^2)\mathrm{d}t \approx \sum_{j=1}^J w_j F(t_j) $$ where \(t_j\) and \(w_j\) are the roots and weights of the \(J\)-th order Hermite polynomial \(H_J(t)\) that we can look up in table link.

Parameters:

• num_points (int, default: 20 ) –

  The number of points to use in the quadrature. Defaults to 20.

__call__

AnalyticalGaussianIntegrator

Bases: AbstractIntegrator

Compute the analytical integral of a Gaussian likelihood.

When the likelihood function is Gaussian, the integral can be computed in closed form. For a Gaussian likelihood \(p(y|f) = \mathcal{N}(y|f, \sigma^2)\) and a variational distribution \(q(f) = \mathcal{N}(f|m, s)\), the expected log-likelihood is given by $$ \mathbb{E}_{q(f)}[\log p(y|f)] = -\frac{1}{2}\left(\log(2\pi\sigma^2) + \frac{1}{\sigma^2}((y-m)^2 + s)\right) $$
