torch_openreml.covariance.AR1Matrix

class torch_openreml.covariance.AR1Matrix(n, param_specs=None)[source]

Bases: Matrix

First-order autoregressive covariance matrix.

\[\symbf{V}_{ij} = \sigma^2 \rho^{|i - j|}\]

Covariance decays geometrically with the lag between observations. The variance \(\sigma^2 > 0\) is enforced by TransformExpPow2 and the correlation \(\rho \in (-1, 1)\) is enforced by a sigmoid scaled to \((-1, 1)\) by default.

Initialize an AR(1) covariance matrix of size n x n.

Parameters:
  • n (int) – Matrix dimension.

  • param_specs (dict) – Parameter specifications. Keys should be strings representing parameter names. Values should be dictionaries containing the specification for each parameter. Each specification dictionary should contain the keys "fixed", "default", and "trans", representing whether the parameter is fixed or free (bool), the default value (1D torch.Tensor), and the transform (Transform), respectively.

Example:

import torch
from torch_openreml.covariance import AR1Matrix

mat = AR1Matrix(4)
mat
AR1Matrix(shape=(4, 4), param_specs={'sigma^2': {'fixed': False, 'default': tensor([0.]), 'trans': TransformExpPow2()}, 'rho': {'fixed': False, 'default': tensor([0.]), 'trans': TransformChain([TransformSigmoid(), TransformScaleShift(a=2.0, b=-1.0)])}})
free_params = torch.tensor([0.5, 1.0])
mat(free_params)
tensor([[2.7183, 1.2562, 0.5805, 0.2683],
        [1.2562, 2.7183, 1.2562, 0.5805],
        [0.5805, 1.2562, 2.7183, 1.2562],
        [0.2683, 0.5805, 1.2562, 2.7183]])

Methods

__call__([free_params])

Construct the matrix from a flat parameter tensor.

auto_grad([free_params])

Compute the Jacobian of build() with respect to free parameters using automatic differentiation.

build_params([free_params, include_fixed, ...])

Construct the full parameter tensor from free parameters.

get_intermediates(params)

Retrieve cached intermediate computation results if still valid.

grad([free_params])

Compute the Jacobian of __call__() with respect to trainable parameters.

manual_grad([free_params])

Compute the Jacobian of __call__() with respect to trainable parameters using a closed-form analytic expression.

map_theta_to_dv(theta)

An interface compatible with torch_openreml.REML that maps parameters to the matrix Jacobian.

map_theta_to_v(theta)

An interface compatible with torch_openreml.REML that maps parameters to a matrix.

reset_intermediates()

Clear the intermediate computation cache.

set_intermediates(params, intermediates)

Cache intermediate computation results keyed by parameter hash.

trans_grad([free_params])

Compute the element-wise derivative of the free parameter transforms.

__call__(free_params=None)[source]

Construct the matrix from a flat parameter tensor.

Must be implemented by subclasses. Implementations should convert free_params via build_params() to validate, include fixed parameters, and apply transforms before any computation.

Parameters:

free_params (torch.Tensor or dict) – Flat 1D parameter tensor or parameter dictionary. If omitted, default values are used. Default: None.

Returns:

Constructed matrix of shape shape.

Return type:

torch.Tensor

manual_grad(free_params=None)[source]

Compute the Jacobian of __call__() with respect to trainable parameters using a closed-form analytic expression.

Parameters:

free_params (torch.Tensor or dict) – Flat 1D parameter tensor or parameter dictionary. If omitted, default values are used. Default: None.

Returns:

(grad, grad_names), where grad is a 3D tensor of shape (num_free_params, *shape) and grad_names is a list of the corresponding parameter names. Returns (None, []) if all parameters are fixed.

Return type:

tuple
