Description
The probability_refinement allows refinement of probability and generalized reliability results using importance sampling. If one specifies probability_refinement, there are some additional options. One can specify which type of importance sampling to use ( import, adapt_import, or mm_adapt_import). Additionally, one can specify the number of refinement samples to use with .refinement_samples and the seed to use with seed.
The probability_refinement density reweighting accounts originally
was developed based on Gaussian distributions. It now accounts for
additional non-Gaussian cases.
