pushforward_samples

(Experimental Capability) Number of samples of the prior to push forward through the model

Specification

  • Alias: None

  • Arguments: INTEGER

  • Default: method-dependent

Description

WASABI requires a forward UQ that maps samples from the prior parameter distribution through the model. The corresponding responses then are used to see their relative likelihood according to the density of the observational data. The pushforward_samples refers to the number of samples taken from the prior and used in the forward UQ. It typically should be high, e.g., 10000, of which only a small fraction may be in a high density region of the posterior.
