EOSCheck

class EOSCheck(minimum=-inf, maximum=inf)

Bases: Constraint

__init__(minimum=-inf, maximum=inf)

Constraint used for EoS sampling. Converts the result of various checks on the EoS and its parameters into a prior that can reject unphysical samples. Necessary for EoS sampling.

__call__()

Overrides the __call__ special method. Calls the sample method.

Returns:

float: The return value of the sample method.

Methods

__init__([minimum, maximum])	Constraint used for EoS sampling.
cdf(*args[, xp])	Generic method to calculate CDF, can be overwritten in subclass
from_json(dct)
from_repr(string)	Generate the prior from its __repr__
get_instantiation_dict()
is_in_prior_range(val)	Returns True if val is in the prior boundaries, zero otherwise
ln_prob(val, *[, xp])	Return the prior ln probability of val, this should be overwritten
prob(val, *[, xp])	Returns the result of the equation of state check in the conversion function.
rescale(val, *[, xp])	'Rescale' a sample from the unit line element to the prior.
sample([size, random_state])	Draw a sample from the prior
to_json()

Attributes

boundary
is_fixed	Returns True if the prior is fixed and should not be used in the sampler.
latex_label	Latex label that can be used for plots.
latex_label_with_unit	If a unit is specified, returns a string of the latex label and unit
maximum
minimum
unit
width

cdf(*args, xp=None, **kwargs)

Generic method to calculate CDF, can be overwritten in subclass

classmethod from_repr(string)

Generate the prior from its __repr__

property is_fixed

Returns True if the prior is fixed and should not be used in the sampler. Does this by checking if this instance is an instance of DeltaFunction.

Returns:

bool: Whether it’s fixed or not!

is_in_prior_range(val)

Returns True if val is in the prior boundaries, zero otherwise

Parameters:

val: Union[float, int, array_like]

Returns:

np.nan

property latex_label

Latex label that can be used for plots.

Draws from a set of default labels if no label is given

Returns:

str: A latex representation for this prior

property latex_label_with_unit

If a unit is specified, returns a string of the latex label and unit

ln_prob(val, *, xp=<module 'numpy' from '/home/runner/work/bilby/bilby/.pixi/envs/documentation/lib/python3.13/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py'>)

Return the prior ln probability of val, this should be overwritten

Parameters:

val: Union[float, int, array_like]

Returns:

np.nan

prob(val, *, xp=<module 'numpy' from '/home/runner/work/bilby/bilby/.pixi/envs/documentation/lib/python3.13/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py'>)

Returns the result of the equation of state check in the conversion function.

rescale(val, *, xp=None)

‘Rescale’ a sample from the unit line element to the prior.

This should be overwritten by each subclass.

Parameters:

val: Union[float, int, array_like]

A random number between 0 and 1

Returns:

None

sample(size=None, *, random_state=None)

Draw a sample from the prior

Parameters:

size: int or tuple of ints, optional

See numpy.random.uniform docs

Returns:

float: A random number between 0 and 1, rescaled to match the distribution of this Prior
