adaptive_mcmc_sample, # NEW: Adaptive proposals
differential_evolution, # Enhanced with parallel support
)
# HMM (same API)
params = fit_hmm(observations, n_states=3)
# Adaptive MCMC (auto-tunes step size)
samples = adaptive_mcmc_sample(
log_likelihood, [0.0], 1000, initial_step=0.1
)
# DE with strategy selection
result = differential_evolution(
objective,
bounds,
pop_size=40,
strategy="rand2" # NEW: Choose strategy
)
```
### For Contributors
**Adding a New Mutation Strategy:**
```rust
#[derive(Clone, Debug)]
pub struct MyNewStrategy;
impl MutationStrategy for MyNewStrategy {
fn mutate(&self, population: &[Vec<f64>], ...) -> Vec<f64> {
// Your mutation logic
}
fn name(&self) -> &'static str {
"MyNew"
}
}
impl Default for MyNewStrategy {
fn default() -> Self {
MyNewStrategy
}
}
```
**Adding a New Proposal Strategy:**
```rust
#[derive(Clone, Debug)]
pub struct MyProposal { /* config */ }
impl ProposalStrategy for MyProposal {
fn propose(&self, current: &[f64], rng: &mut impl Rng) -> Vec<f64> {
// Your proposal logic
}
fn adapt(&mut self, acceptance_rate: f64) {
// Optional adaptation
}
fn name(&self) -> &'static str {
"MyProposal"
}
}
```
## Conclusion
This refactoring significantly improves OptimizR's:
- **Modularity**: Clear trait boundaries, easy to extend
- **Maintainability**: Builder patterns, functional utilities reduce boilerplate
- **Performance**: Parallel execution, memoization, lazy evaluation
- **Flexibility**: Strategy pattern allows runtime algorithm selection
- **Type Safety**: Strong typing with Rust prevents many runtime errors
- **Testability**: Traits enable dependency injection and mocking
The codebase is now ready for production use with advanced features while maintaining full backward compatibility.

# Differential Evolution API
## Overview
The Differential Evolution (DE) module provides a global optimization algorithm for non-convex, multimodal objective functions. It's particularly effective for problems where gradient information is unavailable or unreliable, and for escaping local optima.
## Function: `differential_evolution`
```python
from optimizr import differential_evolution
```
### Signature
```python
differential_evolution(
objective_fn: Callable[[np.ndarray], float],
bounds: List[Tuple[float, float]],
popsize: int = 15,
maxiter: int = 1000,
f: float = 0.8,
cr: float = 0.7,
) -> Tuple[np.ndarray, float]
```
### Parameters
- **`objective_fn`** (callable): Function to minimize.
- **Signature**: `objective_fn(x: np.ndarray) -> float`
- Takes a 1D array of parameters and returns a scalar objective value.
- Lower values are better.
- **`bounds`** (List[Tuple[float, float]]): List of (min, max) bounds for each parameter dimension.
- **`popsize`** (int, optional): Population size multiplier. Total population size will be `popsize × n_params`. Default is 15.
- **`maxiter`** (int, optional): Maximum number of generations. Default is 1,000.
- **`f`** (float, optional): Mutation factor, typically in range [0.5, 2.0]. Controls the amplification of differential variation. Default is 0.8.
- **`cr`** (float, optional): Crossover probability, typically in range [0.1, 0.9]. Controls the fraction of parameter values copied from the mutant. Default is 0.7.
### Returns
Returns a tuple `(x, fun)`:
- **`x`** (np.ndarray): Best parameters found (minimum).
- **`fun`** (float): Best objective value (minimum).
Alternatively, when using the Rust backend directly, returns a `DEResult` object with attributes:
- `x`: Best parameters
- `fun`: Best objective value
- `nfev`: Number of function evaluations
## Basic Example
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import differential_evolution
# Define the Rosenbrock function (global minimum at [1, 1, ..., 1])
def rosenbrock(x):
return sum(100.0 * (x[i+1] - x[i]**2)**2 + (1 - x[i])**2
for i in range(len(x) - 1))
# Optimize
x_opt, f_min = differential_evolution(
objective_fn=rosenbrock,
bounds=[(-5, 5)] * 10,
popsize=15,
maxiter=1000
)
print(f"Optimal parameters: {x_opt}")
print(f"Minimum value: {f_min:.6f}")
print(f"Expected: {rosenbrock(np.ones(10)):.6f}")
```
## Advanced Examples
### 1. Rastrigin Function (Many Local Minima)
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import differential_evolution
def rastrigin(x):
"""Highly multimodal function with many local minima"""
A = 10
n = len(x)
return A * n + sum(xi**2 - A * np.cos(2 * np.pi * xi) for xi in x)
# True global minimum is at origin with f(0, ..., 0) = 0
x_opt, f_min = differential_evolution(
objective_fn=rastrigin,
bounds=[(-5.12, 5.12)] * 10,
popsize=20,
maxiter=2000,
f=0.8,
cr=0.9
)
print(f"Minimum found: {f_min:.6f}")
print(f"Distance from optimum: {np.linalg.norm(x_opt):.6f}")
```
### 2. Constrained Optimization
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import differential_evolution
def constrained_objective(x):
"""Minimize x^2 + y^2 subject to x + y >= 1"""
obj = x[0]**2 + x[1]**2
# Add penalty for constraint violation
constraint = x[0] + x[1] - 1
if constraint < 0:
obj += 1000 * constraint**2 # Penalty term
return obj
x_opt, f_min = differential_evolution(
objective_fn=constrained_objective,
bounds=[(-5, 5), (-5, 5)],
popsize=15,
maxiter=500
)
print(f"Optimal point: ({x_opt[0]:.3f}, {x_opt[1]:.3f})")
print(f"Constraint: x + y = {x_opt[0] + x_opt[1]:.3f} (should be ≥ 1)")
print(f"Objective: {f_min:.3f}")
```
### 3. Hyperparameter Tuning
```python
import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score
from sklearn.svm import SVC
from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
from optimizr import differential_evolution
# Load data
X, y = load_digits(return_X_y=True)
def svm_objective(params):
"""Optimize SVM hyperparameters"""
C, gamma = params
# Convert to log scale
C = 10 ** C
gamma = 10 ** gamma
# Cross-validation score (negative because we minimize)
model = SVC(C=C, gamma=gamma)
score = cross_val_score(model, X, y, cv=3, scoring='accuracy')
return -score.mean() # Negative because we minimize
# Optimize
params_opt, score_min = differential_evolution(
objective_fn=svm_objective,
bounds=[(-3, 3), (-5, 1)], # log10 scale for C and gamma
popsize=10,
maxiter=30
)
C_opt = 10 ** params_opt[0]
gamma_opt = 10 ** params_opt[1]
print(f"Best C: {C_opt:.4f}")
print(f"Best gamma: {gamma_opt:.6f}")
print(f"Best CV accuracy: {-score_min:.4f}")
```
### 4. Portfolio Optimization
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import differential_evolution
# Sample returns (rows = assets, columns = time periods)
returns = np.random.randn(5, 1000) * 0.01
returns += np.array([0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 0.06, 0.09])[:, np.newaxis] / 252
def portfolio_objective(weights):
"""Maximize Sharpe ratio (minimize negative Sharpe)"""
# Ensure weights sum to 1
weights = weights / weights.sum()
# Calculate portfolio return and volatility
portfolio_return = np.sum(returns.mean(axis=1) * weights) * 252
portfolio_vol = np.sqrt(
np.dot(weights, np.dot(np.cov(returns), weights))
) * np.sqrt(252)
# Sharpe ratio (assuming risk-free rate = 2%)
sharpe = (portfolio_return - 0.02) / portfolio_vol
return -sharpe # Negative because we minimize
# Optimize
n_assets = 5
weights_opt, sharpe_neg = differential_evolution(
objective_fn=portfolio_objective,
bounds=[(0, 1)] * n_assets, # Long-only portfolio
popsize=20,
maxiter=500
)
# Normalize weights
weights_opt = weights_opt / weights_opt.sum()
print("Optimal Portfolio Weights:")
for i, w in enumerate(weights_opt):
print(f" Asset {i+1}: {w:.2%}")
print(f"\nSharpe Ratio: {-sharpe_neg:.3f}")
```
### 5. Function Fitting
```python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from optimizr import differential_evolution
# Generate noisy data
x_data = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y_true = 2.5 * np.sin(0.8 * x_data + 1.2) + 1.5
y_data = y_true + np.random.normal(0, 0.3, len(x_data))
def fitting_objective(params):
"""Fit y = A * sin(B * x + C) + D"""
A, B, C, D = params
y_pred = A * np.sin(B * x_data + C) + D
mse = np.mean((y_data - y_pred)**2)
return mse
# Optimize
params_opt, mse_min = differential_evolution(
objective_fn=fitting_objective,
bounds=[(0, 10), (0, 2), (0, 2*np.pi), (-5, 5)],
popsize=15,
maxiter=1000
)
A, B, C, D = params_opt
print(f"Fitted parameters: A={A:.2f}, B={B:.2f}, C={C:.2f}, D={D:.2f}")
print(f"MSE: {mse_min:.4f}")
# Plot
y_fitted = A * np.sin(B * x_data + C) + D
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.scatter(x_data, y_data, alpha=0.5, label='Data')
plt.plot(x_data, y_true, 'g--', label='True', linewidth=2)
plt.plot(x_data, y_fitted, 'r-', label='Fitted', linewidth=2)
plt.legend()
plt.title('Differential Evolution Function Fitting')
plt.show()
```
## Parameter Tuning Guide
### Population Size (`popsize`)
- **Small (5-10)**: Fast but may converge prematurely
- **Medium (15-20)**: Good balance for most problems
- **Large (30+)**: Better exploration, slower convergence
Rule of thumb: `popsize ≥ 10` for problems with up to 10 parameters.
### Mutation Factor (`f`)
- **Low (0.4-0.6)**: Conservative, good for fine-tuning
- **Medium (0.7-0.9)**: Standard, works for most problems
- **High (1.0-2.0)**: Aggressive exploration, avoids local minima
### Crossover Probability (`cr`)
- **Low (0.1-0.3)**: Preserves more of original vector
- **Medium (0.5-0.7)**: Balanced mixing
- **High (0.8-1.0)**: Aggressive recombination
### Maximum Iterations (`maxiter`)
- Depends on problem difficulty and dimensions
- Monitor convergence: if still improving at `maxiter`, increase it
- Typical values: 500-5000
## Convergence Analysis
```python
# Track convergence history (requires modification to return history)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
history = []
def tracked_objective(x):
result = objective_fn(x)
history.append(result)
return result
x_opt, f_min = differential_evolution(
objective_fn=tracked_objective,
bounds=bounds,
popsize=15,
maxiter=1000
)
# Plot convergence
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.semilogy(history)
plt.xlabel('Function Evaluation')
plt.ylabel('Objective Value')
plt.title('Convergence History')
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
```
## Performance Notes
- **Rust Backend**: 50-100x faster than pure Python implementations for compute-intensive objectives.
- **Python Fallback**: Falls back to `scipy.optimize.differential_evolution` if Rust is unavailable.
- **Parallelization**: Population evaluations are independent and can be parallelized (future enhancement).
- **Complexity**: O(`popsize` × `n_params` × `maxiter` × cost_per_eval)
## Common Use Cases
| Application | Typical Settings | Notes |
|-------------|------------------|-------|
| Hyperparameter tuning | popsize=10-15, maxiter=50-200 | Fast evaluations |
| Engineering design | popsize=20-30, maxiter=500-2000 | Complex constraints |
| Function fitting | popsize=15-20, maxiter=500-1000 | Multiple local minima |
| Portfolio optimization | popsize=15-20, maxiter=200-500 | Moderate dimensions |
| Neural network training | popsize=30-50, maxiter=1000+ | High dimensions |
## Tips and Best Practices
1. **Scaling**: Normalize parameters to similar ranges for better performance.
2. **Bounds**: Set reasonable bounds based on domain knowledge.
3. **Stochastic Objectives**: For noisy functions, use larger population and more iterations.
4. **Warm Start**: Use results from previous runs as initial population.
5. **Hybrid Approach**: Use DE for global search, then local optimizer for refinement.
6. **Early Stopping**: Implement custom stopping criteria based on improvement rate.
## Comparison with Other Optimizers
| Method | Pros | Cons | When to Use |
|--------|------|------|-------------|
| **Differential Evolution** | No gradients needed, global search, robust | Slow for high dimensions | Non-convex, derivative-free |
| Gradient Descent | Fast, precise | Needs gradients, local only | Smooth, differentiable |
| Genetic Algorithm | Very flexible | Slower convergence | Discrete, combinatorial |
| Simulated Annealing | Simple, global search | Sensitive to temperature schedule | Simple problems |
| Grid Search | Guaranteed coverage | Exponential cost | Few dimensions only |

# Grid Search API
## Overview
The Grid Search module provides exhaustive parameter space exploration by evaluating the objective function at all points on a regular grid. While computationally expensive, it guarantees finding the best solution within the discretized search space.
## Function: `grid_search`
```python
from optimizr import grid_search
```
### Signature
```python
grid_search(
objective_fn: Callable[[np.ndarray], float],
bounds: List[Tuple[float, float]],
n_points: int = 10,
) -> Tuple[np.ndarray, float]
```
### Parameters
- **`objective_fn`** (callable): Function to **maximize**.
- **Signature**: `objective_fn(x: np.ndarray) -> float`
- Takes a 1D array of parameters and returns a scalar objective value.
- **Higher values are better** (maximization).
- **`bounds`** (List[Tuple[float, float]]): List of (min, max) bounds for each parameter dimension.
- **`n_points`** (int, optional): Number of equally spaced grid points per dimension. Default is 10.
### Returns
Returns a tuple `(x, fun)`:
- **`x`** (np.ndarray): Best parameters found (maximum).
- **`fun`** (float): Best objective value (maximum).
Alternatively, when using the Rust backend directly, returns a `GridSearchResult` object with attributes:
- `x`: Best parameters
- `fun`: Best objective value
- `nfev`: Number of function evaluations (= `n_points^n_params`)
### Complexity
- **Time**: O(`n_points`^`n_params` × cost_per_eval)
- **Space**: O(`n_points`^`n_params`)
Exponential in the number of parameters!
## Basic Example
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import grid_search
# Simple quadratic function with maximum at (0, 0)
def objective(x):
return -(x[0]**2 + x[1]**2)
# Find maximum
x_opt, f_max = grid_search(
objective_fn=objective,
bounds=[(-5, 5), (-5, 5)],
n_points=50
)
print(f"Optimal point: ({x_opt[0]:.3f}, {x_opt[1]:.3f})")
print(f"Maximum value: {f_max:.6f}")
print(f"Total evaluations: {50**2}")
```
## Advanced Examples
### 1. Hyperparameter Tuning
```python
import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from optimizr import grid_search
# Load data
X, y = load_iris(return_X_y=True)
def rf_objective(params):
"""Optimize Random Forest hyperparameters"""
n_estimators, max_depth = params
# Convert to integers
n_estimators = int(n_estimators)
max_depth = int(max_depth)
# Cross-validation accuracy
model = RandomForestClassifier(
n_estimators=n_estimators,
max_depth=max_depth,
random_state=42
)
scores = cross_val_score(model, X, y, cv=5, scoring='accuracy')
return scores.mean()
# Grid search
params_opt, acc_max = grid_search(
objective_fn=rf_objective,
bounds=[(10, 200), (2, 20)], # n_estimators, max_depth
n_points=20
)
print(f"Best n_estimators: {int(params_opt[0])}")
print(f"Best max_depth: {int(params_opt[1])}")
print(f"Best CV accuracy: {acc_max:.4f}")
print(f"Total evaluations: {20**2 = 400}")
```
### 2. Feature Engineering
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import grid_search
from sklearn.preprocessing import PolynomialFeatures
from sklearn.linear_model import Ridge
from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score
# Generate sample data
np.random.seed(42)
X = np.random.randn(100, 3)
y = 2*X[:, 0] + 3*X[:, 1]**2 - X[:, 2] + np.random.randn(100)*0.1
def feature_objective(params):
"""Optimize polynomial degree and regularization"""
degree, alpha_log = params
degree = int(degree)
alpha = 10 ** alpha_log
# Create polynomial features
poly = PolynomialFeatures(degree=degree, include_bias=False)
X_poly = poly.fit_transform(X)
# Ridge regression with CV
model = Ridge(alpha=alpha)
scores = cross_val_score(model, X_poly, y, cv=5,
scoring='neg_mean_squared_error')
return scores.mean() # Negative MSE (higher is better)
params_opt, score_max = grid_search(
objective_fn=feature_objective,
bounds=[(1, 4), (-3, 2)], # degree, log10(alpha)
n_points=15
)
print(f"Best polynomial degree: {int(params_opt[0])}")
print(f"Best alpha: {10**params_opt[1]:.6f}")
print(f"Best CV score: {score_max:.6f}")
```
### 3. Signal Processing
```python
import numpy as np
from scipy import signal
from optimizr import grid_search
# Generate noisy signal
t = np.linspace(0, 1, 1000)
true_signal = np.sin(2 * np.pi * 5 * t)
noisy_signal = true_signal + np.random.normal(0, 0.5, len(t))
def filter_objective(params):
"""Optimize Butterworth filter parameters"""
order, cutoff = params
order = int(order)
# Design and apply filter
b, a = signal.butter(order, cutoff, btype='low', analog=False)
filtered = signal.filtfilt(b, a, noisy_signal)
# Minimize MSE with true signal (negative for maximization)
mse = np.mean((filtered - true_signal)**2)
return -mse
params_opt, neg_mse = grid_search(
objective_fn=filter_objective,
bounds=[(2, 8), (0.05, 0.3)], # order, cutoff frequency
n_points=20
)
print(f"Best filter order: {int(params_opt[0])}")
print(f"Best cutoff frequency: {params_opt[1]:.3f}")
print(f"MSE: {-neg_mse:.6f}")
```
### 4. Economic Optimization
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import grid_search
def profit_function(params):
"""Maximize profit given price and advertising budget"""
price, advertising = params
# Demand model: q = 1000 - 20*price + 5*sqrt(advertising)
quantity = 1000 - 20*price + 5*np.sqrt(advertising)
quantity = max(0, quantity) # Can't be negative
# Cost model
fixed_cost = 5000
variable_cost = 10 # per unit
total_cost = fixed_cost + variable_cost * quantity + advertising
# Revenue
revenue = price * quantity
# Profit
profit = revenue - total_cost
return profit
params_opt, profit_max = grid_search(
objective_fn=profit_function,
bounds=[(15, 60), (0, 10000)], # price, advertising
n_points=30
)
price_opt, ad_opt = params_opt
quantity_opt = 1000 - 20*price_opt + 5*np.sqrt(ad_opt)
print(f"Optimal price: ${price_opt:.2f}")
print(f"Optimal advertising: ${ad_opt:.2f}")
print(f"Expected quantity: {quantity_opt:.0f} units")
print(f"Maximum profit: ${profit_max:.2f}")
```
### 5. Portfolio Allocation
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import grid_search
# Historical returns for 3 assets
returns = np.array([
[0.10, 0.12, 0.08], # Expected annual returns
])
cov_matrix = np.array([
[0.04, 0.01, 0.02],
[0.01, 0.09, 0.01],
[0.02, 0.01, 0.03]
])
def portfolio_objective(params):
"""Maximize risk-adjusted return (Sharpe ratio)"""
# Only optimize 2 weights; third is determined
w1, w2 = params
w3 = 1 - w1 - w2
# Invalid if weights are negative
if w3 < 0 or w1 < 0 or w2 < 0:
return -1e10
weights = np.array([w1, w2, w3])
# Portfolio return
port_return = np.sum(returns * weights)
# Portfolio volatility
port_vol = np.sqrt(np.dot(weights, np.dot(cov_matrix, weights)))
# Sharpe ratio (assuming risk-free rate = 0.02)
sharpe = (port_return - 0.02) / port_vol
return sharpe
params_opt, sharpe_max = grid_search(
objective_fn=portfolio_objective,
bounds=[(0, 1), (0, 1)], # weights for assets 1 and 2
n_points=50
)
w1, w2 = params_opt
w3 = 1 - w1 - w2
print(f"Optimal allocation:")
print(f" Asset 1: {w1:.2%}")
print(f" Asset 2: {w2:.2%}")
print(f" Asset 3: {w3:.2%}")
print(f"Sharpe Ratio: {sharpe_max:.3f}")
```
## Visualization
### 1D Grid Search

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from optimizr import grid_search
# 1D function
def func_1d(x):
return -(x[0] - 2)**2 + 5
# Create fine grid for plotting
x_plot = np.linspace(-5, 8, 1000)
y_plot = [func_1d([x]) for x in x_plot]
# Grid search
x_opt, f_max = grid_search(
objective_fn=func_1d,
bounds=[(-5, 8)],
n_points=15
)
# Plot
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.plot(x_plot, y_plot, 'b-', label='Function', linewidth=2)
# Show grid points
grid_points = np.linspace(-5, 8, 15)
grid_values = [func_1d([x]) for x in grid_points]
plt.scatter(grid_points, grid_values, c='red', s=50,
label='Grid points', zorder=3)
plt.scatter(x_opt[0], f_max, c='green', s=200, marker='*',
label=f'Optimum: ({x_opt[0]:.2f}, {f_max:.2f})', zorder=4)
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('f(x)')
plt.title('Grid Search Visualization')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True, alpha=0.3)
plt.show()
```
### 2D Grid Search Heatmap
```python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from optimizr import grid_search
# 2D function
def func_2d(x):
return np.exp(-((x[0]-1)**2 + (x[1]+1)**2))
# Create grid for visualization
x1 = np.linspace(-3, 3, 100)
x2 = np.linspace(-3, 3, 100)
X1, X2 = np.meshgrid(x1, x2)
Z = np.array([[func_2d([x1, x2]) for x1, x2 in zip(row1, row2)]
for row1, row2 in zip(X1, X2)])
# Grid search

bounds=[(-3, 3), (-3, 3)],
n_points=15
)
# Plot
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 8))
plt.contourf(X1, X2, Z, levels=20, cmap='viridis')
plt.colorbar(label='Objective Value')
# Show grid points
grid_1d = np.linspace(-3, 3, 15)
for x1 in grid_1d:
for x2 in grid_1d:
plt.plot(x1, x2, 'r.', markersize=3)
plt.scatter(x_opt[0], x_opt[1], c='red', s=300, marker='*',
edgecolors='white', linewidths=2,
label=f'Optimum: ({x_opt[0]:.2f}, {x_opt[1]:.2f})')
plt.xlabel('x₁')
plt.ylabel('x₂')
plt.title('2D Grid Search')
plt.legend()
plt.axis('equal')
plt.show()
```
## Performance Analysis
### Computational Cost
```python
import time
from optimizr import grid_search
def expensive_function(x):
"""Simulate expensive computation"""
time.sleep(0.001) # 1ms per evaluation
return -(x[0]**2 + x[1]**2)
# Test different grid sizes
for n_points in [5, 10, 20, 30]:
n_evals = n_points ** 2
start = time.time()
x_opt, f_max = grid_search(
objective_fn=expensive_function,
bounds=[(-5, 5), (-5, 5)],
n_points=n_points
)
elapsed = time.time() - start
print(f"n_points={n_points:2d}: {n_evals:4d} evaluations, "
f"{elapsed:.2f}s ({elapsed/n_evals*1000:.2f}ms per eval)")
```
### Scaling with Dimensions
```python
# Demonstrate exponential growth
dimensions = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
n_points = 10
for n_dim in dimensions:
n_evals = n_points ** n_dim
estimated_time = n_evals * 0.001 # Assuming 1ms per eval
print(f"{n_dim}D: {n_evals:,} evaluations "
f"(~{estimated_time:.1f}s with 1ms/eval)")
```
Output:
```
1D: 10 evaluations (~0.0s with 1ms/eval)
2D: 100 evaluations (~0.1s with 1ms/eval)
3D: 1,000 evaluations (~1.0s with 1ms/eval)
4D: 10,000 evaluations (~10.0s with 1ms/eval)
5D: 100,000 evaluations (~100.0s with 1ms/eval)
```
## Performance Notes
- **Rust Backend**: When available, grid point generation and evaluation is highly optimized.
- **Python Fallback**: Pure Python/NumPy fallback using `itertools.product`.
- **Parallelization**: Grid evaluations are independent and can be parallelized (future enhancement).
- **Memory**: All grid points are evaluated, so memory usage is O(n_points^n_params).
## When to Use Grid Search
### ✅ Good For
- **Small parameter spaces** (≤ 3 dimensions with reasonable resolution)
- **Expensive models** where you want guaranteed coverage
- **Visualization** and understanding the objective landscape
- **Benchmarking** other optimization methods
- **Discrete parameters** that naturally fit on a grid
- **Verifying global optimum** in small problems
### ❌ Not Good For
- **High-dimensional problems** (exponential cost)
- **Continuous optimization** (infinitely many points)
- **Large-scale hyperparameter tuning** (use random search or Bayesian optimization instead)
- **Time-critical applications** (too slow)
## Tips and Best Practices
### 1. Start Coarse, Then Refine
```python
# First pass: coarse grid
x_coarse, f_coarse = grid_search(
objective_fn=objective,
bounds=[(-10, 10), (-10, 10)],
n_points=10
)
# Second pass: fine grid around optimum
margin = 2.0
x_fine, f_fine = grid_search(
objective_fn=objective,
bounds=[
(x_coarse[0] - margin, x_coarse[0] + margin),
(x_coarse[1] - margin, x_coarse[1] + margin)
],
n_points=20
)
print(f"Refined optimum: {x_fine}")
```
### 2. Use Logarithmic Scales
```python
# For parameters that span orders of magnitude
def objective_log(params):
# Convert from log scale
learning_rate = 10 ** params[0]
regularization = 10 ** params[1]
# Evaluate model...
score = model_score(learning_rate, regularization)
return score
x_opt, f_max = grid_search(
objective_fn=objective_log,
bounds=[(-5, -1), (-4, 0)], # log10 scale
n_points=20
)
lr_opt = 10 ** x_opt[0]
reg_opt = 10 ** x_opt[1]
```
### 3. Intelligent Bounds Selection
```python
# Use domain knowledge to set reasonable bounds
def intelligent_bounds(parameter_type):
bounds_dict = {
'learning_rate': (1e-5, 1e-1),
'n_estimators': (10, 500),
'max_depth': (2, 20),
'alpha': (1e-4, 10),
}
return bounds_dict.get(parameter_type, (0, 1))
```

# Hidden Markov Model (HMM) API
## Overview
The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) module provides efficient implementations of the Baum-Welch algorithm for parameter estimation and the Viterbi algorithm for state sequence decoding. This is particularly useful for regime detection in time series, speech recognition, biological sequence analysis, and financial market state identification.
## Class: `HMM`
```python
from optimizr import HMM
```
### Constructor
```python
HMM(n_states: int = 2)
```
**Parameters:**
- `n_states` (int): Number of hidden states. Must be at least 2. Default is 2.
**Raises:**
- `ValueError`: If `n_states < 2`
### Attributes
After fitting, the following attributes are populated:
- **`transition_matrix_`** (np.ndarray): State transition probabilities matrix of shape `(n_states, n_states)`. Entry `[i, j]` represents the probability of transitioning from state `i` to state `j`.
- **`emission_means_`** (np.ndarray): Mean parameters of Gaussian emissions for each state. Array of shape `(n_states,)`.
- **`emission_stds_`** (np.ndarray): Standard deviation parameters of Gaussian emissions for each state. Array of shape `(n_states,)`.
### Methods
#### `fit(X, n_iterations=100, tolerance=1e-6)`
Fit HMM parameters using the Baum-Welch (Expectation-Maximization) algorithm.
**Parameters:**
- `X` (np.ndarray): Time series observations as a 1D array.
- `n_iterations` (int, optional): Maximum number of EM iterations. Default is 100.
- `tolerance` (float, optional): Convergence threshold for log-likelihood change. Default is 1e-6.
**Returns:**
- `self` (HMM): The fitted model instance.
**Raises:**
- `ValueError`: If `X` is empty.
**Example:**
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import HMM
# Generate sample data with regime changes
returns = np.concatenate([
np.random.normal(0.01, 0.02, 500), # Bull market
np.random.normal(-0.01, 0.03, 500), # Bear market
])
# Create and fit HMM
hmm = HMM(n_states=2)
hmm.fit(returns, n_iterations=100)
print("Transition Matrix:")
print(hmm.transition_matrix_)
print("\nEmission Means:", hmm.emission_means_)
print("Emission Stds:", hmm.emission_stds_)
```
#### `predict(X)`
Predict the most likely state sequence using the Viterbi algorithm.
**Parameters:**
- `X` (np.ndarray): Time series observations as a 1D array.
**Returns:**
- `states` (np.ndarray): Array of integers representing the most likely state at each time step. Same length as `X`.
**Raises:**
- `ValueError`: If the model has not been fitted yet.
**Example:**
```python
# Decode most likely state sequence
states = hmm.predict(returns)
print(f"Detected states: {np.unique(states)}")
print(f"State distribution: {np.bincount(states)}")
# Visualize regime changes
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6))
plt.plot(returns, alpha=0.6, label='Returns')
plt.scatter(range(len(returns)), returns, c=states, cmap='viridis',
alpha=0.3, s=1, label='States')
plt.legend()
plt.title('HMM Regime Detection')
plt.show()
```
#### `score(X)`
Compute the log-likelihood of observations given the model.
**Parameters:**
- `X` (np.ndarray): Time series observations as a 1D array.
**Returns:**
- `log_likelihood` (float): The log probability of the observations given the model parameters.
**Raises:**
- `ValueError`: If the model has not been fitted yet.
**Example:**
```python
# Calculate model fit quality
ll = hmm.score(returns)
print(f"Log-likelihood: {ll:.2f}")
# Compare different numbers of states
for n in [2, 3, 4]:
hmm_temp = HMM(n_states=n)
hmm_temp.fit(returns)
ll = hmm_temp.score(returns)
print(f"States: {n}, Log-likelihood: {ll:.2f}")
```
## Complete Example
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import HMM
# Simulate financial returns with regime switching
np.random.seed(42)
# Create synthetic data with 3 regimes
n_samples = 1000
regime_1 = np.random.normal(0.02, 0.01, 300) # High return, low vol
regime_2 = np.random.normal(0.00, 0.02, 400) # Neutral return, medium vol
regime_3 = np.random.normal(-0.01, 0.03, 300) # Negative return, high vol
returns = np.concatenate([regime_1, regime_2, regime_3])
# Fit HMM
hmm = HMM(n_states=3)
hmm.fit(returns, n_iterations=100, tolerance=1e-6)
# Decode states
states = hmm.predict(returns)
# Analyze results
print("Transition Matrix:")
print(hmm.transition_matrix_)
print("\nState Statistics:")
for i in range(3):
mask = states == i
print(f"State {i}:")
print(f" Mean: {hmm.emission_means_[i]:.4f}")
print(f" Std: {hmm.emission_stds_[i]:.4f}")
print(f" Count: {np.sum(mask)} ({100*np.sum(mask)/len(states):.1f}%)")
# Calculate model quality
ll = hmm.score(returns)
print(f"\nLog-likelihood: {ll:.2f}")
```
## Performance Notes
- **Rust Backend**: When the Rust backend is available, HMM operations are 50-100x faster than pure Python implementations.
- **Python Fallback**: If the Rust backend is not available, a pure Python implementation using NumPy is automatically used. A warning will be issued.
- **Memory Efficiency**: The implementation uses log-space computations to prevent numerical underflow for long sequences.
- **Numerical Stability**: Forward-backward probabilities are normalized at each time step to maintain numerical stability.
## Algorithm Details
### Baum-Welch (EM) Algorithm
The Baum-Welch algorithm iteratively refines HMM parameters:
1. **E-step**: Compute expected state occupancies using the Forward-Backward algorithm
2. **M-step**: Update transition and emission parameters to maximize expected log-likelihood
3. **Convergence**: Repeat until log-likelihood change is below tolerance
### Viterbi Algorithm
The Viterbi algorithm finds the most likely state sequence:
1. **Initialization**: Set initial state probabilities
2. **Recursion**: For each time step, find the most likely path to each state
3. **Backtracking**: Trace back the optimal path from the final state
## Common Use Cases
### 1. Financial Regime Detection
```python
# Detect bull/bear markets in stock returns
hmm = HMM(n_states=2)
hmm.fit(stock_returns)
market_regimes = hmm.predict(stock_returns)
```
### 2. Volatility Clustering
```python
# Identify high/low volatility periods
abs_returns = np.abs(returns)
hmm = HMM(n_states=2)
hmm.fit(abs_returns)
volatility_regimes = hmm.predict(abs_returns)
```
### 3. Multi-State Analysis
```python
# Analyze complex market dynamics
hmm = HMM(n_states=4)
hmm.fit(returns)
states = hmm.predict(returns)
# States might represent: crash, bear, normal, bull
```
## Tips and Best Practices
1. **Choosing n_states**: Start with 2-3 states. Use cross-validation or information criteria (AIC/BIC) to select the optimal number.
2. **Data Preprocessing**: Standardize or normalize data before fitting, especially when combining multiple time series.
3. **Initialization**: The algorithm initializes parameters based on data quantiles. For better results, you can manually initialize parameters.
4. **Convergence**: If the algorithm doesn't converge, try:
- Increasing `n_iterations`
- Adjusting `tolerance`
- Preprocessing the data to remove outliers
5. **Overfitting**: Too many states can lead to overfitting. Use a validation set to assess generalization.

# Information Theory API
## Overview
The Information Theory module provides implementations of fundamental information measures: Shannon Entropy and Mutual Information. These metrics are essential for feature selection, dependency detection, causality testing, and understanding information content in data.
## Functions
```python
from optimizr import shannon_entropy, mutual_information
```
## Function: `shannon_entropy`
Computes the Shannon entropy of a random variable using histogram-based probability estimation.
### Signature
```python
shannon_entropy(
x: np.ndarray,
n_bins: int = 10,
) -> float
```
### Parameters
- **`x`** (np.ndarray): Sample values from the random variable (1D array).
- **`n_bins`** (int, optional): Number of bins for histogram-based probability estimation. Default is 10.
### Returns
- **`entropy`** (float): Shannon entropy in nats (natural logarithm). Multiply by 1/ln(2) ≈ 1.4427 to convert to bits.
### Formula
$$H(X) = -\sum_{i} p(x_i) \log p(x_i)$$
where $p(x_i)$ is estimated from the histogram.
### Example
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import shannon_entropy
# Uniform distribution has high entropy
x_uniform = np.random.uniform(0, 1, 10000)
h_uniform = shannon_entropy(x_uniform, n_bins=20)
print(f"Uniform entropy: {h_uniform:.4f} nats")
print(f"Uniform entropy: {h_uniform/np.log(2):.4f} bits")
# Peaked distribution has low entropy
x_peaked = np.random.normal(0, 0.1, 10000)
h_peaked = shannon_entropy(x_peaked, n_bins=20)
print(f"Peaked entropy: {h_peaked:.4f} nats")
# Constant has zero entropy
x_constant = np.ones(1000)
h_constant = shannon_entropy(x_constant, n_bins=20)
print(f"Constant entropy: {h_constant:.4f} nats")
```
---
## Function: `mutual_information`
Computes the mutual information between two random variables.
### Signature
```python
mutual_information(
x: np.ndarray,
y: np.ndarray,
n_bins: int = 10,
) -> float
```
### Parameters
- **`x`** (np.ndarray): Sample values from the first random variable (1D array).
- **`y`** (np.ndarray): Sample values from the second random variable (1D array). Must be the same length as `x`.
- **`n_bins`** (int, optional): Number of bins for histogram estimation. Default is 10.
### Returns
- **`mi`** (float): Mutual information in nats (natural logarithm). Multiply by 1/ln(2) to convert to bits.
### Formula
$$I(X;Y) = H(X) + H(Y) - H(X,Y)$$
or equivalently:
$$I(X;Y) = \sum_{x,y} p(x,y) \log \frac{p(x,y)}{p(x)p(y)}$$
### Example
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import mutual_information
# Generate correlated variables
np.random.seed(42)
x = np.random.randn(10000)
y = 2 * x + np.random.randn(10000) * 0.5 # Strongly correlated
mi = mutual_information(x, y, n_bins=20)
print(f"Mutual Information: {mi:.4f} nats")
# Independent variables
x_ind = np.random.randn(10000)
y_ind = np.random.randn(10000)
mi_ind = mutual_information(x_ind, y_ind, n_bins=20)
print(f"MI (independent): {mi_ind:.4f} nats (should be near 0)")
# Perfectly correlated
y_perfect = x.copy()
mi_perfect = mutual_information(x, y_perfect, n_bins=20)
print(f"MI (perfect): {mi_perfect:.4f} nats")
```

## Advanced Examples

x2 = np.random.randn(n_samples)
x3 = np.random.randn(n_samples)
x4 = np.random.randn(n_samples)
x5 = np.random.randn(n_samples)
# Target: depends on x1 and x3, not others
y = 2*x1 + 3*x3 + np.random.randn(n_samples)*0.5
# Calculate MI with target
features = {'x1': x1, 'x2': x2, 'x3': x3, 'x4': x4, 'x5': x5}

for name, feature in features.items():
mi = mutual_information(feature, y, n_bins=15)
mi_scores[name] = mi
# Rank features
ranked = sorted(mi_scores.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
print("Feature Importance (by MI):")
for name, score in ranked:
print(f" {name}: {score:.4f}")
# Select top features
threshold = 0.5
selected = [name for name, score in ranked if score > threshold]
print(f"\nSelected features: {selected}")
```

plt.xlabel('Lag')
plt.ylabel('Mutual Information (nats)')
plt.title('Time Series Autocorrelation via MI')
plt.grid(True, alpha=0.3)
plt.show()
# For an AR(1) process
ar_coef = 0.8
y = np.zeros(n)
for t in range(1, n):
y[t] = ar_coef * y[t-1] + np.random.randn()
mi_ar = mutual_information(y[:-1], y[1:], n_bins=20)
print(f"AR(1) process MI(lag=1): {mi_ar:.4f}")
```
### 3. Nonlinear Dependency Detection

import numpy as np
from optimizr import mutual_information
np.random.seed(42)
n = 5000
# Linear relationship
x_lin = np.random.randn(n)
y_lin = 2*x_lin + np.random.randn(n)*0.3
# Nonlinear relationship
x_nonlin = np.random.uniform(-3, 3, n)
y_nonlin = x_nonlin**2 + np.random.randn(n)*0.5
# No relationship
x_indep = np.random.randn(n)
y_indep = np.random.randn(n)
# Calculate MI
mi_lin = mutual_information(x_lin, y_lin, n_bins=20)
mi_nonlin = mutual_information(x_nonlin, y_nonlin, n_bins=20)
mi_indep = mutual_information(x_indep, y_indep, n_bins=20)
# Compare with Pearson correlation
corr_lin = np.corrcoef(x_lin, y_lin)[0, 1]
corr_nonlin = np.corrcoef(x_nonlin, y_nonlin)[0, 1]
corr_indep = np.corrcoef(x_indep, y_indep)[0, 1]
print("Linear Relationship:")
print(f" MI: {mi_lin:.4f}, Correlation: {corr_lin:.4f}")
print("\nNonlinear Relationship:")
print(f" MI: {mi_nonlin:.4f}, Correlation: {corr_nonlin:.4f}")
print(" (MI detects dependency, correlation doesn't)")
print("\nIndependent:")
print(f" MI: {mi_indep:.4f}, Correlation: {corr_indep:.4f}")
```
### 4. Image Processing
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import shannon_entropy, mutual_information
from skimage import data, filters
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Load image
image = data.camera() # Grayscale image
h, w = image.shape
# Calculate entropy
entropy_original = shannon_entropy(image.flatten(), n_bins=50)
print(f"Original image entropy: {entropy_original:.4f} nats")
# Apply Gaussian blur
blurred = filters.gaussian(image, sigma=3)
entropy_blurred = shannon_entropy((blurred * 255).astype(int).flatten(),
n_bins=50)
print(f"Blurred image entropy: {entropy_blurred:.4f} nats")
# Add noise
noisy = image + np.random.randn(h, w) * 20
entropy_noisy = shannon_entropy(noisy.flatten(), n_bins=50)
print(f"Noisy image entropy: {entropy_noisy:.4f} nats")
# Mutual information between patches
patch1 = image[100:200, 100:200].flatten()
patch2 = image[200:300, 200:300].flatten()[:len(patch1)]
mi_patches = mutual_information(patch1, patch2, n_bins=30)
print(f"MI between patches: {mi_patches:.4f}")
```
### 5. Model Comparison
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import mutual_information
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
from sklearn.neural_network import MLPRegressor
# Generate data
np.random.seed(42)
n = 1000
X = np.random.randn(n, 5)
y_true = 2*X[:, 0] + 3*X[:, 1]**2 - X[:, 2]*X[:, 3]
y = y_true + np.random.randn(n)*0.5
# Train models
models = {
'Linear': LinearRegression(),
'Random Forest': RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=100, random_state=42),
'Neural Net': MLPRegressor(hidden_layer_sizes=(50, 50), random_state=42)
}
for name, model in models.items():
model.fit(X, y)
y_pred = model.predict(X)
# Mutual information between predictions and true values
mi = mutual_information(y_pred, y, n_bins=20)
# Also calculate R²
from sklearn.metrics import r2_score
r2 = r2_score(y, y_pred)
print(f"{name}:")
print(f" MI(pred, true): {mi:.4f}")
print(f" R²: {r2:.4f}")
```
### 6. Causality Testing
```python
import numpy as np
from optimizr import mutual_information
# Test if X causes Y
np.random.seed(42)
n = 1000
# X causes Y
x = np.random.randn(n)
y = np.zeros(n)
for t in range(1, n):
y[t] = 0.5*x[t-1] + 0.3*y[t-1] + np.random.randn()*0.1
# MI(X_t-1, Y_t) should be high
mi_xy = mutual_information(x[:-1], y[1:], n_bins=20)
print(f"MI(X_t-1, Y_t): {mi_xy:.4f}")
# MI(Y_t-1, X_t) should be low (Y doesn't cause X)
mi_yx = mutual_information(y[:-1], x[1:], n_bins=20)
print(f"MI(Y_t-1, X_t): {mi_yx:.4f}")
if mi_xy > 2 * mi_yx:
print("Evidence suggests X → Y causality")
else:
print("No clear causal direction")
```
## Choosing the Number of Bins
The choice of `n_bins` affects the bias-variance tradeoff:
### Too Few Bins
- High bias, low variance
- Underestimates entropy/MI
- Use when: limited data, smooth distributions
### Too Many Bins
- Low bias, high variance
- Overestimates due to noise
- Use when: large datasets, complex distributions
### Rule of Thumb
```python
import numpy as np
def optimal_bins(n_samples):
"""Sturges' rule and alternatives"""
# Sturges' rule (for normal distributions)
sturges = int(np.ceil(np.log2(n_samples) + 1))
# Square root rule
sqrt_rule = int(np.ceil(np.sqrt(n_samples)))
# Rice rule
rice = int(np.ceil(2 * n_samples**(1/3)))
# Scott's rule (data-dependent)
# Would need the actual data
return {
'sturges': sturges,
'sqrt': sqrt_rule,
'rice': rice
}
# Example
n = 10000
bins = optimal_bins(n)
print(f"For {n} samples:")
print(f" Sturges: {bins['sturges']} bins")
print(f" Sqrt: {bins['sqrt']} bins")
print(f" Rice: {bins['rice']} bins")
```
## Sensitivity Analysis
```python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from optimizr import mutual_information
# Generate correlated data
np.random.seed(42)
n = 5000
x = np.random.randn(n)
y = 2*x + np.random.randn(n)
# Test different bin counts
bin_range = range(5, 51, 5)
mi_values = []
for n_bins in bin_range:
mi = mutual_information(x, y, n_bins=n_bins)
mi_values.append(mi)
# Plot
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.plot(bin_range, mi_values, 'bo-', linewidth=2, markersize=8)
plt.xlabel('Number of Bins')
plt.ylabel('Mutual Information (nats)')
plt.title('MI Sensitivity to Bin Count')
plt.grid(True, alpha=0.3)
plt.show()
# Recommend stable range
mi_std = np.std(mi_values)
stable_range = [b for b, m in zip(bin_range, mi_values)
if abs(m - np.mean(mi_values)) < mi_std]
print(f"Stable bin range: {min(stable_range)}-{max(stable_range)}")
```
## Performance Notes
- **Rust Backend**: 20-50x faster than pure Python/NumPy implementations.
- **Python Fallback**: Uses NumPy's `histogram` and `histogram2d` functions.
- **Memory**: O(n + n_bins²) for MI, O(n + n_bins) for entropy.
- **Time Complexity**: O(n) for histogram construction, O(n_bins²) for MI computation.
## Properties and Interpretations
### Shannon Entropy
- **Range**: [0, ∞)
- **Zero**: Only for deterministic (constant) variables
- **Maximum**: For continuous uniform distribution: log(range)
- **Units**: nats (natural log) or bits (log₂)
### Mutual Information
- **Range**: [0, ∞)
- **Zero**: For independent variables
- **Maximum**: min(H(X), H(Y)) - when one determines the other
- **Symmetric**: I(X;Y) = I(Y;X)
- **Non-negative**: I(X;Y) ≥ 0 always
### Normalized Mutual Information
```python
def normalized_mi(x, y, n_bins=10):
"""Normalize MI to [0, 1] range"""
from optimizr import mutual_information, shannon_entropy
mi = mutual_information(x, y, n_bins)
hx = shannon_entropy(x, n_bins)
hy = shannon_entropy(y, n_bins)
# Normalized by arithmetic mean
nmi_arithmetic = mi / ((hx + hy) / 2)
# Normalized by geometric mean
nmi_geometric = mi / np.sqrt(hx * hy)
# Normalized by minimum
nmi_min = mi / min(hx, hy)
return {
'arithmetic': nmi_arithmetic,
'geometric': nmi_geometric,
'min': nmi_min
}
```
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Insufficient Data**: Need enough samples for reliable histogram estimation. Rule of thumb: n > 10 × n_bins².
2. **Outliers**: Can dominate histogram bins. Consider robust binning or outlier removal.
3. **Different Scales**: Variables on very different scales may need normalization.
4. **Discrete vs Continuous**: Binning discretizes continuous variables, losing some information.
5. **Interpretation**: MI measures dependency, not causation.

# MCMC Sampling API
## Overview
The MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) module implements the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm for sampling from arbitrary probability distributions. This is particularly useful for Bayesian parameter estimation, posterior inference, and uncertainty quantification.
## Function: `mcmc_sample`
```python
from optimizr import mcmc_sample
```
### Signature
```python
mcmc_sample(
log_likelihood_fn: Callable[[List[float], List[float]], float],
data: np.ndarray,
initial_params: np.ndarray,
param_bounds: List[Tuple[float, float]],
n_samples: int = 10000,
burn_in: int = 1000,
proposal_std: float = 0.1,
) -> np.ndarray
```
### Parameters
- **`log_likelihood_fn`** (callable): Function that computes log P(data | params).
- **Signature**: `log_likelihood_fn(params: list, data: list) -> float`
- Should return the natural logarithm of the likelihood.
- Higher values indicate better fit.
- **`data`** (np.ndarray): Observed data passed to the log-likelihood function.
- **`initial_params`** (np.ndarray): Starting parameter values. Should be a 1D array.
- **`param_bounds`** (List[Tuple[float, float]]): List of (min, max) bounds for each parameter. Must have the same length as `initial_params`.
- **`n_samples`** (int, optional): Number of samples to generate after burn-in. Default is 10,000.
- **`burn_in`** (int, optional): Number of initial samples to discard. Default is 1,000.
- **`proposal_std`** (float, optional): Standard deviation of Gaussian random walk proposals. Default is 0.1.
### Returns
- **`samples`** (np.ndarray): Array of shape `(n_samples, n_params)` containing parameter samples from the posterior distribution.
### Raises
- `ValueError`: If `initial_params` and `param_bounds` have different lengths.
## Basic Example

import numpy as np
from optimizr import mcmc_sample
# Define log-likelihood for Gaussian model
def log_likelihood(params, data):

return -0.5 * np.sum(residuals**2) - len(data) * np.log(sigma)
# Generate synthetic data
np.random.seed(42)
true_mu, true_sigma = 2.5, 1.2
data = np.random.normal(true_mu, true_sigma, 100)
# Sample from posterior

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axes = plt.subplots(3, 1, figsize=(10, 8))
param_names = ['Mean', 'Std Dev', 'Parameter 3']
for i, (ax, name) in enumerate(zip(axes, param_names)):
ax.plot(samples[:, i], alpha=0.7)
ax.set_ylabel(name)
ax.axhline(np.mean(samples[:, i]), color='r', linestyle='--',
label='Mean')
ax.legend()
axes[-1].set_xlabel('Iteration')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
```
### Posterior Distributions
```python
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 3, figsize=(15, 4))
for i, ax in enumerate(axes):
ax.hist(samples[:, i], bins=50, density=True, alpha=0.7)
ax.axvline(np.mean(samples[:, i]), color='r', linestyle='--',
label=f'Mean: {np.mean(samples[:, i]):.3f}')
ax.set_xlabel(f'Parameter {i+1}')
ax.set_ylabel('Density')
ax.legend()
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
```
### Autocorrelation
```python
from scipy.stats import acf
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 3, figsize=(15, 4))
for i, ax in enumerate(axes):
autocorr = acf(samples[:, i], nlags=100)
ax.plot(autocorr)
ax.axhline(0, color='k', linestyle='--', alpha=0.3)
ax.set_xlabel('Lag')
ax.set_ylabel('Autocorrelation')
ax.set_title(f'Parameter {i+1}')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
```
### Acceptance Rate
```python
# Estimate acceptance rate from consecutive samples
def acceptance_rate(samples):
changes = np.sum(np.diff(samples, axis=0) != 0, axis=1)
return np.mean(changes > 0)
rate = acceptance_rate(samples)
print(f"Acceptance rate: {rate:.2%}")
# Ideal range: 20-40% for Metropolis-Hastings
if rate < 0.15:
print("⚠ Acceptance rate too low. Try decreasing proposal_std.")
elif rate > 0.50:
print("⚠ Acceptance rate too high. Try increasing proposal_std.")
else:
print("✓ Acceptance rate is in good range.")
```
## Performance Notes
- **Rust Backend**: When available, MCMC sampling is 50-100x faster than pure Python implementations.
- **Python Fallback**: A pure NumPy fallback is automatically used if Rust is unavailable.
- **Proposal Tuning**: The `proposal_std` parameter significantly affects convergence:
- Too small: Slow exploration, high acceptance rate
- Too large: Poor acceptance rate, slow convergence
- Optimal: 20-40% acceptance rate
## Tips and Best Practices
### 1. Choosing Burn-in Period
```python
# Run a short chain to visualize convergence
test_samples = mcmc_sample(
log_likelihood_fn=log_likelihood,
data=data,
initial_params=initial_params,
param_bounds=bounds,
n_samples=5000,
burn_in=0, # Keep all samples for inspection
proposal_std=0.1
)
# Plot to determine burn-in
plt.plot(test_samples[:, 0])
plt.xlabel('Iteration')
plt.ylabel('Parameter')
plt.title('Determine burn-in period')
plt.show()
```
### 2. Multiple Chains
```python
# Run multiple chains with different starting points
n_chains = 4
all_samples = []
for i in range(n_chains):
# Random initialization
init = np.random.uniform(
[b[0] for b in bounds],
[b[1] for b in bounds]
)
samples = mcmc_sample(
log_likelihood_fn=log_likelihood,
data=data,
initial_params=init,
param_bounds=bounds,
n_samples=5000,
burn_in=1000
)
all_samples.append(samples)
# Check convergence across chains
means = [np.mean(s[:, 0]) for s in all_samples]
print(f"Chain means: {means}")
print(f"Variance: {np.var(means):.6f}")
```
### 3. Adaptive Proposal
```python
# Start with exploration, then refine
samples_phase1 = mcmc_sample(
log_likelihood_fn=log_likelihood,
data=data,
initial_params=initial_params,
param_bounds=bounds,
n_samples=5000,
burn_in=1000,
proposal_std=0.2 # Larger for exploration
)
# Use posterior mean as new starting point
new_init = np.mean(samples_phase1, axis=0)
samples_phase2 = mcmc_sample(
log_likelihood_fn=log_likelihood,
data=data,
initial_params=new_init,
param_bounds=bounds,
n_samples=10000,
burn_in=1000,
proposal_std=0.05 # Smaller for refinement
)
```
## Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Chains don't converge | Poor initialization | Use multiple chains or better starting values |
| High autocorrelation | Proposal too small | Increase `proposal_std` |
| Low acceptance rate | Proposal too large | Decrease `proposal_std` |
| Bimodal posterior | Multiple modes | Use longer chains or parallel tempering |
| Numerical errors | Overflow in likelihood | Use log-likelihood correctly |

# Differential Evolution: Mathematical Theory
## Introduction
Differential Evolution (DE) is a population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm introduced by Storn and Price (1997). It is particularly effective for continuous, non-convex, multimodal optimization problems where gradient information is unavailable or unreliable.
## Problem Formulation
### Objective
Minimize $f: \mathbb{R}^D \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$:
$$\min_{\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^D} f(\mathbf{x})$$
subject to box constraints:
$$x_j \in [l_j, u_j], \quad j = 1, ..., D$$
### Characteristics
**DE is suitable when**:
- $f$ is continuous but non-differentiable
- Multiple local minima exist
- Gradient information is unavailable or expensive
- Problem dimension is moderate ($D < 100$)
## Algorithm Overview
### Population
Maintain a population of $N_P$ candidate solutions:
$$P_g = \{\mathbf{x}_{1,g}, \mathbf{x}_{2,g}, ..., \mathbf{x}_{N_P,g}\}$$
where $g$ is the generation number and $\mathbf{x}_{i,g} \in \mathbb{R}^D$.
### Main Loop
For each generation $g = 0, 1, 2, ...$:
1. **Mutation**: Create mutant vectors
2. **Crossover**: Create trial vectors
3. **Selection**: Keep better solutions
## Mutation Strategies
### DE/rand/1 (Classic)
For each target vector $\mathbf{x}_{i,g}$, create mutant:
$$\mathbf{v}_{i,g+1} = \mathbf{x}_{r_1,g} + F \cdot (\mathbf{x}_{r_2,g} - \mathbf{x}_{r_3,g})$$
where:
- $r_1, r_2, r_3 \in \{1, ..., N_P\}$ are randomly chosen, distinct, and $\neq i$
- $F \in (0, 2]$ is the **mutation factor** (typically 0.5-1.0)
**Interpretation**:
- Start from a random population member $\mathbf{x}_{r_1}$
- Move in direction given by difference $(\mathbf{x}_{r_2} - \mathbf{x}_{r_3})$
- Scale movement by $F$
### DE/best/1
$$\mathbf{v}_{i,g+1} = \mathbf{x}_{\text{best},g} + F \cdot (\mathbf{x}_{r_1,g} - \mathbf{x}_{r_2,g})$$
**Advantage**: Faster convergence
**Disadvantage**: More likely to get stuck in local minima
### DE/current-to-best/1
$$\mathbf{v}_{i,g+1} = \mathbf{x}_{i,g} + F \cdot (\mathbf{x}_{\text{best},g} - \mathbf{x}_{i,g}) + F \cdot (\mathbf{x}_{r_1,g} - \mathbf{x}_{r_2,g})$$
**Interpretation**: Move current solution toward best while exploring
### DE/rand/2
$$\mathbf{v}_{i,g+1} = \mathbf{x}_{r_1,g} + F \cdot (\mathbf{x}_{r_2,g} - \mathbf{x}_{r_3,g}) + F \cdot (\mathbf{x}_{r_4,g} - \mathbf{x}_{r_5,g})$$
More disruptive, better for highly multimodal problems.
## Crossover
### Binomial Crossover
For each component $j = 1, ..., D$:
$$u_{i,j,g+1} = \begin{cases}
v_{i,j,g+1} & \text{if } \text{rand}(0,1) \leq CR \text{ or } j = j_{\text{rand}} \\
x_{i,j,g} & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}$$
where:
- $CR \in [0, 1]$ is the **crossover probability**
- $j_{\text{rand}} \in \{1, ..., D\}$ ensures at least one component is from mutant
**Effect**: Controls how much of the mutant vector is used
### Exponential Crossover
Copy consecutive components from mutant with probability $CR$.
Less common, similar performance to binomial.
## Selection
Greedy selection (for minimization):
$$\mathbf{x}_{i,g+1} = \begin{cases}
\mathbf{u}_{i,g+1} & \text{if } f(\mathbf{u}_{i,g+1}) \leq f(\mathbf{x}_{i,g}) \\
\mathbf{x}_{i,g} & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}$$
**Property**: Population quality never decreases:
$$f(\mathbf{x}_{\text{best},g+1}) \leq f(\mathbf{x}_{\text{best},g})$$
## Complete Algorithm
```
1. Initialize population:
For i = 1 to N_P:
x_{i,0} = l + rand(0,1) · (u - l)
2. Evaluate fitness:
f_i = f(x_{i,0}) for all i
3. While stopping criterion not met:
a. For i = 1 to N_P:
i. Mutation:
Select r_1, r_2, r_3 distinct and ≠ i
v_{i,g+1} = x_{r_1,g} + F · (x_{r_2,g} - x_{r_3,g})
ii. Crossover:
j_rand = randint(1, D)
For j = 1 to D:
if rand(0,1) ≤ CR or j = j_rand:
u_{i,j,g+1} = v_{i,j,g+1}
else:
u_{i,j,g+1} = x_{i,j,g}
iii. Boundary handling:
Clip u_{i,g+1} to [l, u]
iv. Selection:
if f(u_{i,g+1}) ≤ f(x_{i,g}):
x_{i,g+1} = u_{i,g+1}
else:
x_{i,g+1} = x_{i,g}
b. g = g + 1
4. Return x_best and f(x_best)
```
## Parameter Selection
### Population Size ($N_P$)
**Rule of thumb**: $N_P = 10D$ where $D$ is problem dimension
**Small population** (< 4D):
- Faster convergence
- Risk premature convergence
- Use for: simple unimodal problems
**Large population** (> 20D):
- Better exploration
- Slower convergence
- Use for: highly multimodal problems
**Minimum**: $N_P \geq 4$ (needed for mutation)
### Mutation Factor ($F$)
**Typical range**: $F \in [0.4, 1.0]$
**Low F** (0.4-0.6):
- Fine-tuning, local search
- Use near end of optimization
- Safer, less disruptive
**High F** (0.8-1.2):
- Exploration, global search
- Escape local minima
- More aggressive
**Adaptive F**: Some variants adjust $F$ during optimization
### Crossover Probability ($CR$)
**Typical range**: $CR \in [0.1, 0.9]$
**Low CR** (0.1-0.3):
- Less information exchange
- Slower convergence
- Use for: separable problems
**High CR** (0.7-0.9):
- More information exchange
- Faster convergence
- Use for: non-separable problems
**Special cases**:
- $CR = 0$: Pure mutation (except $j_{\text{rand}}$)
- $CR = 1$: Full crossover
### Stopping Criteria
1. **Maximum generations**: $g_{\max}$
2. **Function evaluations**: $FE_{\max}$
3. **Target fitness**: $f(\mathbf{x}_{\text{best}}) \leq f_{\text{target}}$
4. **Stagnation**: No improvement for $G_{\text{stag}}$ generations
5. **Diversity loss**: Population variance below threshold
## Convergence Analysis
### Theoretical Results
**Theorem** (Zaharie, 2002): Under certain conditions on $F$ and $CR$, DE converges to a stationary point.
**Conditions**:
- Bounded search space
- Continuous objective function
- Appropriate parameter settings
### Convergence Rate
**Empirical observations**:
- Linear convergence in early stages
- Slows down near optimum
- Faster than genetic algorithms for many problems
- Slower than gradient methods (when gradients available)
### No Free Lunch
DE is not universally optimal. Performance depends on:
- Problem landscape
- Parameter settings
- Population size
## Variants and Extensions
### Self-Adaptive DE (jDE)
Parameters $F$ and $CR$ evolve with the population:
$$F_{i,g+1} = \begin{cases}
F_l + \text{rand}(0,1) \cdot (F_u - F_l) & \text{if } \text{rand}(0,1) < \tau_1 \\
F_{i,g} & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}$$
$$CR_{i,g+1} = \begin{cases}
\text{rand}(0,1) & \text{if } \text{rand}(0,1) < \tau_2 \\
CR_{i,g} & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}$$
### SHADE (Success-History Adaptive DE)
Uses historical information about successful parameters.
### L-SHADE
SHADE with linear population size reduction.
### CoDE (Composite DE)
Uses multiple mutation strategies simultaneously.
### Opposition-Based DE
Initialize with both random solutions and their opposites.
### Constraint Handling
For constrained optimization:
1. **Penalty method**: Add penalty to objective
2. **Feasibility rules**: Prefer feasible solutions
3. **ε-constrained**: Relax constraints gradually
## Theoretical Properties
### Global Convergence
**Sufficient conditions** (Lampinen, 2001):
- Population size $N_P > 3$
- Mutation factor $F > 0$
- At least one component crossed over ($j_{\text{rand}}$)
Then DE is a **global optimization method**: Can reach any point with positive probability.
### Diversity Maintenance
Mutation creates diversity, selection reduces it. Balance determines exploration vs. exploitation.
**Diversity measure**:
$$D_g = \frac{1}{N_P D} \sum_{i=1}^{N_P} \sum_{j=1}^D |x_{i,j,g} - \bar{x}_{j,g}|$$
High diversity → exploration
Low diversity → exploitation
### Convergence Speed
**Expected number of generations** to reach near-optimum depends on:
- Problem difficulty (number of local minima, basin sizes)
- Population size
- Parameter settings
**Empirical rule**: Budget $10^4 D$ function evaluations for moderately difficult problems.
## Comparison with Other Algorithms
| Algorithm | Gradient | Global | Constraints | Speed | Best For |
|-----------|----------|--------|-------------|-------|----------|
| **DE** | No | Yes | Penalty | Medium | Non-convex, continuous |
| Gradient Descent | Yes | No | Yes | Fast | Smooth, convex |
| Genetic Algorithm | No | Yes | Yes | Slow | Discrete, combinatorial |
| Particle Swarm | No | Yes | Penalty | Fast | Continuous, many dims |
| Simulated Annealing | No | Yes | Penalty | Slow | Small problems |
| CMA-ES | No | Yes | Penalty | Fast | Continuous, noisy |
## Applications
### 1. Engineering Design
**Example**: Antenna design
- Objective: Maximize gain, minimize side lobes
- Constraints: Physical realizability
- High-dimensional, non-convex
### 2. Machine Learning
**Example**: Neural network hyperparameter tuning
- Objective: Validation accuracy
- Parameters: Learning rate, regularization, architecture
- Noisy, expensive evaluations
### 3. Chemical Engineering
**Example**: Reactor optimization
- Objective: Maximize yield, minimize cost
- Constraints: Safety, temperature, pressure
- Nonlinear dynamics
### 4. Portfolio Optimization
**Example**: Asset allocation
- Objective: Maximize Sharpe ratio
- Constraints: Budget, diversification
- Non-convex risk measures
### 5. System Identification
**Example**: Parameter estimation
- Objective: Minimize prediction error
- Parameters: Model coefficients
- Multimodal likelihood surface
## Computational Complexity
### Time Complexity
Per generation: $O(N_P \cdot D \cdot T_f)$
where $T_f$ is cost of evaluating $f$.
Total: $O(G_{\max} \cdot N_P \cdot D \cdot T_f)$
### Space Complexity
$O(N_P \cdot D)$ for population storage.
### Parallelization
**Embarrassingly parallel**: Each trial vector evaluation is independent.
**Speedup**: Near-linear with number of processors (up to $N_P$ processors).
## Practical Tips
### 1. Start Simple
Use default parameters: $N_P = 10D$, $F = 0.8$, $CR = 0.7$
### 2. Scale Variables
Normalize parameters to similar ranges for better performance.
### 3. Warm Start
If you have a good initial guess, seed population around it.
### 4. Hybrid Approach
Use DE for global search, then local optimizer for refinement:
```
1. Run DE for G_global generations
2. Take best solution x_best
3. Run local optimizer starting from x_best
```
### 5. Monitor Convergence
Plot:
- Best fitness vs. generation
- Average fitness vs. generation
- Population diversity vs. generation
### 6. Restarts
If premature convergence detected, restart with new random population.
## Advantages and Limitations

# Hidden Markov Models: Mathematical Theory
## Introduction
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are probabilistic models for sequential data where we observe a sequence of outputs generated by a system that transitions between hidden (latent) states. HMMs are widely used in speech recognition, biological sequence analysis, financial time series, and many other domains.
## Model Definition
A Hidden Markov Model $\lambda$ is defined by:
### 1. States
- **Number of states**: $N$
- **State at time $t$**: $q_t \in \{1, 2, ..., N\}$
- **State sequence**: $Q = q_1, q_2, ..., q_T$
### 2. Observations
- **Number of possible observations**: $M$ (discrete) or $\mathbb{R}$ (continuous)
- **Observation at time $t$**: $o_t$
- **Observation sequence**: $O = o_1, o_2, ..., o_T$
### 3. Parameters
**Initial State Distribution**:
$$\pi_i = P(q_1 = i), \quad 1 \leq i \leq N$$
$$\sum_{i=1}^N \pi_i = 1$$
**State Transition Probabilities**:
$$a_{ij} = P(q_{t+1} = j \mid q_t = i), \quad 1 \leq i,j \leq N$$
$$\sum_{j=1}^N a_{ij} = 1 \text{ for all } i$$
**Emission Probabilities** (continuous case - Gaussian):
$$b_j(o_t) = P(o_t \mid q_t = j) = \mathcal{N}(o_t; \mu_j, \sigma_j^2)$$
$$b_j(o_t) = \frac{1}{\sigma_j\sqrt{2\pi}} \exp\left(-\frac{(o_t - \mu_j)^2}{2\sigma_j^2}\right)$$
Complete model: $\lambda = (\pi, A, B)$ where:
- $\pi$ is the initial state distribution
- $A = \{a_{ij}\}$ is the transition matrix
- $B = \{b_j(o)\}$ is the emission distribution
## Markov Assumptions
### First-Order Markov Property
The future state depends only on the current state, not the history:
$$P(q_{t+1} \mid q_1, q_2, ..., q_t) = P(q_{t+1} \mid q_t)$$
### Output Independence
Observations are conditionally independent given the state:
$$P(o_t \mid q_1, ..., q_T, o_1, ..., o_{t-1}, o_{t+1}, ..., o_T) = P(o_t \mid q_t)$$
## Fundamental Problems
### 1. Evaluation Problem
**Given**: Model $\lambda = (\pi, A, B)$ and observation sequence $O$
**Find**: $P(O \mid \lambda)$, the probability that the model generated the observations
**Solution**: Forward Algorithm (or Backward Algorithm)
### 2. Decoding Problem
**Given**: Model $\lambda$ and observation sequence $O$
**Find**: $Q^* = \arg\max_Q P(Q \mid O, \lambda)$, the most likely state sequence
**Solution**: Viterbi Algorithm
### 3. Learning Problem
**Given**: Observation sequence $O$
**Find**: $\lambda^* = \arg\max_\lambda P(O \mid \lambda)$, the model parameters that best explain $O$
**Solution**: Baum-Welch Algorithm (Expectation-Maximization)
## Forward Algorithm
Computes $P(O \mid \lambda)$ efficiently using dynamic programming.
### Forward Variable
$$\alpha_t(i) = P(o_1, o_2, ..., o_t, q_t = i \mid \lambda)$$
The probability of observing the first $t$ observations and being in state $i$ at time $t$.
### Algorithm
**Initialization** ($t = 1$):
$$\alpha_1(i) = \pi_i b_i(o_1), \quad 1 \leq i \leq N$$
**Recursion** ($1 \leq t < T$):
$$\alpha_{t+1}(j) = \left[\sum_{i=1}^N \alpha_t(i) a_{ij}\right] b_j(o_{t+1})$$
**Termination**:
$$P(O \mid \lambda) = \sum_{i=1}^N \alpha_T(i)$$
### Complexity
- **Time**: $O(N^2 T)$
- **Space**: $O(NT)$
Without dynamic programming: $O(N^T)$ - exponential!
## Backward Algorithm
Alternative computation of $P(O \mid \lambda)$.
### Backward Variable
$$\beta_t(i) = P(o_{t+1}, o_{t+2}, ..., o_T \mid q_t = i, \lambda)$$
The probability of observing the remaining observations given state $i$ at time $t$.
### Algorithm
**Initialization** ($t = T$):
$$\beta_T(i) = 1, \quad 1 \leq i \leq N$$
**Recursion** ($t = T-1, T-2, ..., 1$):
$$\beta_t(i) = \sum_{j=1}^N a_{ij} b_j(o_{t+1}) \beta_{t+1}(j)$$
**Termination**:
$$P(O \mid \lambda) = \sum_{i=1}^N \pi_i b_i(o_1) \beta_1(i)$$
## Viterbi Algorithm
Finds the single most likely state sequence.
### Objective
$$Q^* = \arg\max_Q P(Q \mid O, \lambda) = \arg\max_Q P(Q, O \mid \lambda)$$
### Viterbi Variable
$$\delta_t(i) = \max_{q_1, ..., q_{t-1}} P(q_1, ..., q_{t-1}, q_t = i, o_1, ..., o_t \mid \lambda)$$
The maximum probability of any path ending in state $i$ at time $t$.
### Algorithm
**Initialization** ($t = 1$):
$$\delta_1(i) = \pi_i b_i(o_1)$$
$$\psi_1(i) = 0$$
**Recursion** ($2 \leq t \leq T$):
$$\delta_t(j) = \max_{1 \leq i \leq N} [\delta_{t-1}(i) a_{ij}] b_j(o_t)$$
$$\psi_t(j) = \arg\max_{1 \leq i \leq N} [\delta_{t-1}(i) a_{ij}]$$
**Termination**:
$$P^* = \max_{1 \leq i \leq N} \delta_T(i)$$
$$q_T^* = \arg\max_{1 \leq i \leq N} \delta_T(i)$$
**Backtracking** ($t = T-1, T-2, ..., 1$):
$$q_t^* = \psi_{t+1}(q_{t+1}^*)$$
### Complexity
- **Time**: $O(N^2 T)$
- **Space**: $O(NT)$
## Baum-Welch Algorithm
An Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for learning HMM parameters.
### Auxiliary Variables
**State occupation probability**:
$$\gamma_t(i) = P(q_t = i \mid O, \lambda) = \frac{\alpha_t(i)\beta_t(i)}{\sum_{j=1}^N \alpha_t(j)\beta_t(j)}$$
**Transition probability**:
$$\xi_t(i,j) = P(q_t = i, q_{t+1} = j \mid O, \lambda)$$
$$= \frac{\alpha_t(i) a_{ij} b_j(o_{t+1}) \beta_{t+1}(j)}{\sum_{i=1}^N \sum_{j=1}^N \alpha_t(i) a_{ij} b_j(o_{t+1}) \beta_{t+1}(j)}$$
### E-Step
Compute $\gamma_t(i)$ and $\xi_t(i,j)$ for all $t$, $i$, $j$ using current parameters.
### M-Step
Update parameters to maximize expected log-likelihood:
**Initial state probabilities**:
$$\bar{\pi}_i = \gamma_1(i)$$
**Transition probabilities**:
$$\bar{a}_{ij} = \frac{\sum_{t=1}^{T-1} \xi_t(i,j)}{\sum_{t=1}^{T-1} \gamma_t(i)}$$
**Emission parameters** (Gaussian):
$$\bar{\mu}_j = \frac{\sum_{t=1}^T \gamma_t(j) o_t}{\sum_{t=1}^T \gamma_t(j)}$$
$$\bar{\sigma}_j^2 = \frac{\sum_{t=1}^T \gamma_t(j) (o_t - \bar{\mu}_j)^2}{\sum_{t=1}^T \gamma_t(j)}$$
### Convergence
Iterate E-step and M-step until:
$$|L(\lambda^{(k+1)}) - L(\lambda^{(k)})| < \epsilon$$
where $L(\lambda) = \log P(O \mid \lambda)$ is the log-likelihood.
### Properties
- Guaranteed to converge to a **local maximum**
- May converge to different solutions depending on initialization
- Multiple random restarts recommended
## Numerical Stability
### Scaling
Raw probabilities can underflow for long sequences. Use **scaling factors**:
$$c_t = \frac{1}{\sum_{i=1}^N \alpha_t(i)}$$
Scaled forward variables:
$$\hat{\alpha}_t(i) = c_t \alpha_t(i)$$
### Log-Space Computation
For Viterbi, work in log-space:
$$\log \delta_t(j) = \max_{1 \leq i \leq N} [\log \delta_{t-1}(i) + \log a_{ij}] + \log b_j(o_t)$$
Use log-sum-exp trick for additions:
$$\log(e^a + e^b) = \max(a,b) + \log(1 + e^{-|a-b|})$$
## Model Selection
### Number of States
**Information Criteria**:
- **AIC** (Akaike): $-2\log L + 2k$
- **BIC** (Bayesian): $-2\log L + k\log n$
where $k$ is the number of parameters and $n$ is the sample size.
Lower values indicate better models (penalized for complexity).
### Cross-Validation
Split data into training and validation sets. Choose $N$ that maximizes validation log-likelihood.
## Extensions
### Multiple Observation Sequences
Train on multiple sequences $O^{(1)}, ..., O^{(K)}$:
$$\lambda^* = \arg\max_\lambda \prod_{k=1}^K P(O^{(k)} \mid \lambda)$$
Modify M-step to sum statistics across sequences.
### Continuous Observation Mixtures
Use mixture of Gaussians for emissions:
$$b_j(o_t) = \sum_{m=1}^M c_{jm} \mathcal{N}(o_t; \mu_{jm}, \sigma_{jm}^2)$$
where $\sum_{m=1}^M c_{jm} = 1$.
### Higher-Order HMMs
Second-order: $P(q_t \mid q_{t-1}, q_{t-2})$
Increases state space from $N$ to $N^2$.
### Semi-Markov Models
Allow state durations to have explicit distributions.
## Applications
### 1. Financial Markets
**Regime Detection**:
- States: bull market, bear market, high volatility, etc.
- Observations: returns, volatility measures
- Identify market regime changes
### 2. Speech Recognition
**Phoneme Recognition**:
- States: phonemes or sub-phoneme states
- Observations: acoustic features (MFCC)
- Decode speech to text
### 3. Bioinformatics
**Gene Prediction**:
- States: exon, intron, intergenic
- Observations: DNA nucleotides
- Identify gene locations
### 4. Natural Language Processing
**Part-of-Speech Tagging**:
- States: noun, verb, adjective, etc.
- Observations: words
- Tag each word with its grammatical role
## Computational Considerations
### Parallel Forward-Backward
States at each time step can be computed independently within the time step.
### Sparse Transitions
If transition matrix is sparse, exploit sparsity:
- Only store non-zero transitions
- Skip zero-probability paths
### GPU Acceleration
Matrix operations in forward-backward and Viterbi are parallelizable on GPUs.
## Theoretical Properties
### Ergodicity
An HMM is **ergodic** if every state can be reached from every other state.
For ergodic HMMs:
- Unique stationary distribution exists
- Baum-Welch converges to global maximum (under certain conditions)
### Identifiability
HMMs are **not identifiable**: different parameter sets can produce same observations.
**Label switching**: permuting states gives equivalent model.

# Information Theory: Mathematical Foundations
## Introduction
Information theory, founded by Claude Shannon in 1948, provides a mathematical framework for quantifying information, uncertainty, and communication. It has applications in data compression, communication, cryptography, machine learning, and statistical inference.
## Shannon Entropy
### Definition
For a discrete random variable $X$ with probability mass function $p(x)$:
$$H(X) = -\sum_{x \in \mathcal{X}} p(x) \log p(x)$$
**Convention**: $0 \log 0 = 0$ (limit as $p \to 0$)
### Units
- **Nats**: Natural logarithm (base $e$)
- **Bits**: Logarithm base 2
- **Dits**: Logarithm base 10
**Conversion**: $H_{\text{bits}} = H_{\text{nats}} / \ln(2) \approx 1.4427 \cdot H_{\text{nats}}$
### Interpretation
**Shannon entropy measures**:
1. **Uncertainty** about $X$ before observation
2. **Information content** of a sample from $X$
3. **Average code length** (optimal compression)
4. **Unpredictability** of $X$
### Properties
**Non-negativity**:
$$H(X) \geq 0$$
Equality iff $X$ is deterministic (probability 1 on one outcome).
**Maximum entropy**:
$$H(X) \leq \log |\mathcal{X}|$$
Achieved by uniform distribution: $p(x) = 1/|\mathcal{X}|$ for all $x$.
**Concavity**:
$H$ is a concave function of the distribution $p$.
### Examples
**Binary variable** ($p$ = probability of success):
$$H(X) = -p\log p - (1-p)\log(1-p)$$
Maximum at $p = 0.5$: $H_{\text{bits}} = 1$ bit.
**Fair die**:
$$H(X) = -\sum_{i=1}^6 \frac{1}{6}\log\frac{1}{6} = \log 6 \approx 1.79 \text{ bits}$$
**Biased die** (probability 0.5 for face 1, 0.1 for others):
$$H(X) = -0.5\log(0.5) - 5 \times 0.1\log(0.1) \approx 1.36 \text{ bits}$$
Less entropy than fair die (more predictable).
## Continuous Entropy (Differential Entropy)
### Definition
For continuous random variable $X$ with density $f(x)$:
$$h(X) = -\int f(x) \log f(x) dx$$
### Differences from Discrete Case
- Can be **negative**
- Not invariant under coordinate transformations
- Measures relative information (to uniform over support)
### Gaussian Distribution
For $X \sim \mathcal{N}(\mu, \sigma^2)$:
$$h(X) = \frac{1}{2}\log(2\pi e \sigma^2)$$
**Maximal entropy** among all distributions with variance $\sigma^2$.
### Multivariate Gaussian
For $\mathbf{X} \sim \mathcal{N}(\boldsymbol{\mu}, \boldsymbol{\Sigma})$:
$$h(\mathbf{X}) = \frac{1}{2}\log\det(2\pi e \boldsymbol{\Sigma})$$
## Joint and Conditional Entropy
### Joint Entropy
For pair $(X, Y)$:
$$H(X, Y) = -\sum_{x,y} p(x,y) \log p(x,y)$$
**Chain rule**:
$$H(X, Y) = H(X) + H(Y|X)$$
### Conditional Entropy
$$H(Y|X) = -\sum_{x,y} p(x,y) \log p(y|x)$$
**Interpretation**: Average uncertainty in $Y$ given $X$.
**Property**:
$$H(Y|X) \leq H(Y)$$
Conditioning reduces entropy (information never increases uncertainty).
Equality iff $X$ and $Y$ are independent.
## Mutual Information
### Definition
$$I(X; Y) = H(X) + H(Y) - H(X, Y)$$
Alternatively:
$$I(X; Y) = \sum_{x,y} p(x,y) \log \frac{p(x,y)}{p(x)p(y)}$$
Or:
$$I(X; Y) = H(X) - H(X|Y) = H(Y) - H(Y|X)$$
### Interpretation
**Mutual information measures**:
1. **Reduction** in uncertainty about $X$ given $Y$
2. **Shared information** between $X$ and $Y$
3. **Dependence** between $X$ and $Y$
4. **Distance** from independence
### Properties
**Non-negativity**:
$$I(X; Y) \geq 0$$
Equality iff $X$ and $Y$ are independent.
**Symmetry**:
$$I(X; Y) = I(Y; X)$$
**Bounded**:
$$I(X; Y) \leq \min(H(X), H(Y))$$
Equality when one variable completely determines the other.
**Data processing inequality**:
If $X \to Y \to Z$ form a Markov chain:
$$I(X; Z) \leq I(X; Y)$$
Processing can't increase information.
### Relationship to Correlation
For bivariate Gaussian $(X, Y)$ with correlation $\rho$:
$$I(X; Y) = -\frac{1}{2}\log(1 - \rho^2)$$
**Mutual information** detects both linear and nonlinear dependencies, while **Pearson correlation** only detects linear.
## Kullback-Leibler Divergence
### Definition
For distributions $p$ and $q$ over $\mathcal{X}$:
$$D_{KL}(p \| q) = \sum_{x \in \mathcal{X}} p(x) \log \frac{p(x)}{q(x)}$$
**Continuous case**:
$$D_{KL}(p \| q) = \int p(x) \log \frac{p(x)}{q(x)} dx$$
### Interpretation
- **Relative entropy**: Information gain when updating from $q$ to $p$
- **Divergence**: How much $p$ differs from $q$
- **Inefficiency**: Extra bits needed when using code for $q$ to encode $p$
### Properties
**Non-negativity** (Gibbs' inequality):
$$D_{KL}(p \| q) \geq 0$$
Equality iff $p = q$ (almost everywhere).
**Asymmetry**:
$$D_{KL}(p \| q) \neq D_{KL}(q \| p)$$
Not a true distance metric (doesn't satisfy triangle inequality).
**Connection to MI**:
$$I(X; Y) = D_{KL}(p(x,y) \| p(x)p(y))$$
MI is the KL divergence from joint to product of marginals.
## Cross Entropy
### Definition
$$H(p, q) = -\sum_x p(x) \log q(x)$$
**Relationship to KL divergence**:
$$H(p, q) = H(p) + D_{KL}(p \| q)$$
### Machine Learning Application
**Loss function** in classification:
For true distribution $p$ (one-hot) and predicted $q$ (softmax):
$$\text{Loss} = H(p, q)$$
Minimizing cross-entropy ≡ minimizing KL divergence ≡ maximizing likelihood.
## Estimation from Data
### Histogram Method
Given samples $x_1, ..., x_n$ from continuous distribution:
1. **Discretize**: Create histogram with $m$ bins
2. **Estimate probabilities**: $\hat{p}_i = n_i / n$ where $n_i$ is count in bin $i$
3. **Compute entropy**: $\hat{H}(X) = -\sum_{i=1}^m \hat{p}_i \log \hat{p}_i$
### Bin Selection
**Too few bins**: Underestimates entropy (over-smoothing)
**Too many bins**: Overestimates entropy (noise)
**Rules of thumb**:
- Sturges: $m = \lceil \log_2 n + 1 \rceil$
- Scott: $m = \lceil (x_{\max} - x_{\min}) / (3.5 \sigma n^{-1/3}) \rceil$
- Square root: $m = \lceil \sqrt{n} \rceil$
### Bias Correction
Histogram estimator is **biased** (tends to overestimate).
**Miller-Madow correction**:
$$\hat{H}_{\text{corrected}} = \hat{H} - \frac{m - 1}{2n}$$
where $m$ is number of non-empty bins.
### Mutual Information Estimation
For samples $(x_i, y_i)$, $i = 1, ..., n$:
1. Create 2D histogram (or separate 1D histograms)
2. Estimate joint and marginal probabilities
3. Compute:
$$\hat{I}(X; Y) = \sum_{i,j} \hat{p}_{ij} \log \frac{\hat{p}_{ij}}{\hat{p}_i \hat{p}_j}$$
**Alternative estimators**:
- k-nearest neighbors (Kraskov et al., 2004)
- Kernel density estimation
- Copula-based methods
## Information-Theoretic Principles
### Maximum Entropy Principle
**Given**: Constraints on moments or expectations
**Find**: Distribution with maximum entropy satisfying constraints
**Result**: Least informative distribution consistent with knowledge
**Example**: Max entropy with mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma^2$ → Gaussian $\mathcal{N}(\mu, \sigma^2)$
### Minimum Description Length (MDL)
**Model selection**: Choose model that minimizes:
$$\text{Description Length} = \text{Data encoding cost} + \text{Model encoding cost}$$
Related to Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC).
### Information Bottleneck
**Goal**: Compress $X$ to $T$ while preserving information about $Y$
**Objective**:
$$\min_{p(t|x)} I(X; T) - \beta I(T; Y)$$
Trade-off between compression and relevance.
## Applications
### 1. Feature Selection
**Goal**: Select features most informative about target
**Method**: Rank features by $I(X_i; Y)$
**Advantages over correlation**:
- Detects nonlinear relationships
- Handles categorical variables naturally
**Example**:
```
Features: X₁, X₂, X₃, X₄
Target: Y
I(X₁; Y) = 0.8
I(X₂; Y) = 0.3
I(X₃; Y) = 1.2 ← most informative
I(X₄; Y) = 0.1
Select X₃, then X₁
```
### 2. Dependency Detection
**Test independence**: $X \perp Y$ iff $I(X; Y) = 0$
**Hypothesis test**:
- Null: $I(X; Y) = 0$ (independent)
- Alternative: $I(X; Y) > 0$ (dependent)
**Test statistic**: $2n \cdot I(X; Y) / \ln(2)$ approximately $\chi^2$ distributed.
### 3. Clustering
**Information-theoretic clustering** minimizes within-cluster entropy.
**Objective**:
$$\min \sum_{k=1}^K \pi_k H(X | C=k)$$
where $\pi_k$ is cluster proportion.
### 4. Transfer Entropy
**Causality detection** in time series:
$$TE_{X \to Y} = I(Y_{t+1}; X_t | Y_t)$$
Measures information flow from $X$ to $Y$.
### 5. Data Compression
**Shannon's source coding theorem**:
Expected code length $\geq H(X)$ (entropy is fundamental limit).
**Huffman coding**, **arithmetic coding** approach this limit.
### 6. Neural Network Analysis
**Information plane**: Track $I(X; T)$ and $I(T; Y)$ during training
where $T$ is hidden layer representation.
**Observations**:
- Initial phase: Increase both (fitting)
- Later phase: Decrease $I(X; T)$, maintain $I(T; Y)$ (compression)
## Multivariate Extensions
### Joint Mutual Information
$$I(X_1, X_2; Y) = H(Y) - H(Y | X_1, X_2)$$
### Conditional Mutual Information
$$I(X; Y | Z) = H(X|Z) - H(X|Y,Z)$$
**Interpretation**: Information shared by $X$ and $Y$ not contained in $Z$
### Total Correlation
$$C(X_1, ..., X_n) = \sum_{i=1}^n H(X_i) - H(X_1, ..., X_n)$$
Measures total dependence among variables.
### Interaction Information
For three variables:
$$I(X; Y; Z) = I(X; Y|Z) - I(X; Y)$$
Can be positive (synergy) or negative (redundancy).
## Relationship to Other Concepts
### Information and Probability
$$I(E) = -\log p(E)$$
**Self-information** of event $E$.
Rare events carry more information.
### Fisher Information
For parameter estimation:
$$\mathcal{I}(\theta) = \mathbb{E}\left[\left(\frac{\partial \log p(X|\theta)}{\partial \theta}\right)^2\right]$$
Measures precision of estimating $\theta$.
**Cramér-Rao bound**: Variance of any unbiased estimator $\geq 1/\mathcal{I}(\theta)$
### Entropy and Thermodynamics
**Boltzmann entropy**: $S = k_B \ln W$
**Connection**: Statistical mechanics entropy ≈ Shannon entropy of microstates.
### Entropy Rate
For stochastic process $\{X_t\}$:
$$h = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} H(X_1, ..., X_n)$$
**For Markov chains**: $h = -\sum_{i,j} \pi_i p_{ij} \log p_{ij}$
## Theoretical Results
### Source Coding Theorem
Expected code length $L \geq H(X)$
Equality achieved by Shannon coding.
### Channel Capacity
Maximum rate of reliable communication:
$$C = \max_{p(x)} I(X; Y)$$
where $Y$ is channel output given input $X$.
### Data Processing Inequality
If $X \to Y \to Z$ (Markov chain):
$$I(X; Y) \geq I(X; Z)$$
Processing cannot increase mutual information.
### Fano's Inequality
For estimating $X$ from $Y$ with error probability $P_e$:
$$H(X|Y) \leq H(P_e) + P_e \log(|\mathcal{X}| - 1)$$
Lower bound on conditional entropy given error rate.
## Computational Considerations
### Complexity
**Entropy estimation**: $O(n + m)$ where $n$ = samples, $m$ = bins
**Mutual information**: $O(n + m^2)$ for 2D histogram
**High dimensions**: Curse of dimensionality (need $m^d$ bins for $d$ dimensions)
### Numerical Stability
**Issue**: $\log 0$ is undefined
**Solutions**:
- Add small constant: $p + \epsilon$
- Use convention: $0 \log 0 = 0$
- Laplace smoothing: $(n_i + \alpha) / (n + \alpha m)$

# Markov Chain Monte Carlo: Mathematical Theory
## Introduction
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are a class of algorithms for sampling from probability distributions based on constructing a Markov chain that has the desired distribution as its equilibrium distribution. MCMC is fundamental to Bayesian inference, computational physics, and many areas of computational statistics.
## The Monte Carlo Method
### Goal
Sample from a target distribution $\pi(\theta)$ where:
- Direct sampling is difficult or impossible
- We can evaluate $\pi(\theta)$ up to a normalization constant
### Why Monte Carlo?
Given samples $\theta^{(1)}, ..., \theta^{(N)} \sim \pi(\theta)$, we can approximate:
**Expectations**:
$$\mathbb{E}_\pi[f(\theta)] \approx \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N f(\theta^{(i)})$$
**Probabilities**:
$$P(\theta \in A) \approx \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N \mathbb{1}[\theta^{(i)} \in A]$$
**Quantiles**, **distributions**, and other properties of $\pi(\theta)$.
## Markov Chains
### Definition
A sequence $\theta^{(0)}, \theta^{(1)}, \theta^{(2)}, ...$ is a Markov chain if:
$$P(\theta^{(t+1)} \mid \theta^{(0)}, ..., \theta^{(t)}) = P(\theta^{(t+1)} \mid \theta^{(t)})$$
The next state depends only on the current state.
### Transition Kernel
$$K(\theta' \mid \theta) = P(\theta^{(t+1)} = \theta' \mid \theta^{(t)} = \theta)$$
### Stationary Distribution
A distribution $\pi(\theta)$ is **stationary** if:
$$\pi(\theta') = \int K(\theta' \mid \theta) \pi(\theta) d\theta$$
If we start with $\theta^{(0)} \sim \pi$, then $\theta^{(t)} \sim \pi$ for all $t$.
### Ergodicity
A Markov chain is **ergodic** if:
1. **Irreducible**: Can reach any state from any state
2. **Aperiodic**: No cyclic behavior
For ergodic chains with stationary distribution $\pi$:
$$\lim_{t \to \infty} P(\theta^{(t)} \in A) = \pi(A)$$
regardless of initial state $\theta^{(0)}$.
### Detailed Balance
A sufficient (but not necessary) condition for $\pi$ to be stationary:
$$\pi(\theta) K(\theta' \mid \theta) = \pi(\theta') K(\theta \mid \theta')$$
**Reversibility**: The probability of going from $\theta$ to $\theta'$ equals the probability of the reverse transition.
## Metropolis-Hastings Algorithm
### Overview
The Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm constructs a Markov chain whose stationary distribution is the target $\pi(\theta)$.
### Algorithm
**Input**: Target distribution $\pi(\theta)$, proposal distribution $q(\theta' \mid \theta)$
1. Initialize $\theta^{(0)}$
2. For $t = 0, 1, 2, ...$:
a. **Propose**: Draw $\theta^* \sim q(\theta^* \mid \theta^{(t)})$
b. **Compute acceptance probability**:
$$\alpha = \min\left(1, \frac{\pi(\theta^*) q(\theta^{(t)} \mid \theta^*)}{\pi(\theta^{(t)}) q(\theta^* \mid \theta^{(t)})}\right)$$
c. **Accept/Reject**:
$$\theta^{(t+1)} = \begin{cases}
\theta^* & \text{with probability } \alpha \\
\theta^{(t)} & \text{with probability } 1-\alpha
\end{cases}$$
### Why It Works
**Theorem**: The MH algorithm produces a Markov chain with stationary distribution $\pi(\theta)$.
**Proof sketch**: Show detailed balance holds.
For accepted moves:
$$\pi(\theta) q(\theta' \mid \theta) \alpha(\theta' \mid \theta) = \pi(\theta') q(\theta \mid \theta') \alpha(\theta \mid \theta')$$
For rejected moves, transitions to same state also balance.
### Special Cases
#### Metropolis Algorithm
When proposal is **symmetric**: $q(\theta' \mid \theta) = q(\theta \mid \theta')$
Acceptance probability simplifies:
$$\alpha = \min\left(1, \frac{\pi(\theta^*)}{\pi(\theta^{(t)})}\right)$$
#### Random Walk Metropolis
Use Gaussian proposal:
$$q(\theta' \mid \theta) = \mathcal{N}(\theta' \mid \theta, \sigma^2 I)$$
Symmetric, so use Metropolis acceptance.
#### Independence Sampler
Proposal doesn't depend on current state:
$$q(\theta' \mid \theta) = g(\theta')$$
Good if $g$ approximates $\pi$ well.
## Gibbs Sampling
### Motivation
For multivariate distributions, updating all dimensions at once can be inefficient.
### Algorithm
For $\theta = (\theta_1, ..., \theta_d)$:
1. Initialize $\theta^{(0)} = (\theta_1^{(0)}, ..., \theta_d^{(0)})$
2. For $t = 0, 1, 2, ...$:
Sample each component from its conditional distribution:
$$\theta_1^{(t+1)} \sim \pi(\theta_1 \mid \theta_2^{(t)}, ..., \theta_d^{(t)})$$
$$\theta_2^{(t+1)} \sim \pi(\theta_2 \mid \theta_1^{(t+1)}, \theta_3^{(t)}, ..., \theta_d^{(t)})$$
$$\vdots$$
$$\theta_d^{(t+1)} \sim \pi(\theta_d \mid \theta_1^{(t+1)}, ..., \theta_{d-1}^{(t+1)})$$
### Properties
- Special case of Metropolis-Hastings with acceptance probability = 1
- Requires knowing conditional distributions
- Can be slow if variables are highly correlated
## Bayesian Inference with MCMC
### Bayes' Theorem
$$p(\theta \mid D) = \frac{p(D \mid \theta) p(\theta)}{p(D)}$$
where:
- $p(\theta \mid D)$ is the **posterior** (what we want)
- $p(D \mid \theta)$ is the **likelihood**
- $p(\theta)$ is the **prior**
- $p(D) = \int p(D \mid \theta) p(\theta) d\theta$ is the **evidence** (normalizing constant)
### MCMC for Posterior Sampling
The evidence $p(D)$ is often intractable, but we can evaluate:
$$\pi(\theta) \propto p(D \mid \theta) p(\theta)$$
MCMC only needs $\pi$ up to a constant, so we can sample from the posterior!
### Metropolis-Hastings for Bayesian Inference
Target: $\pi(\theta) = p(D \mid \theta) p(\theta)$ (unnormalized posterior)
Acceptance probability:
$$\alpha = \min\left(1, \frac{p(D \mid \theta^*) p(\theta^*)}{p(D \mid \theta^{(t)}) p(\theta^{(t)})} \cdot \frac{q(\theta^{(t)} \mid \theta^*)}{q(\theta^* \mid \theta^{(t)})}\right)$$
For symmetric proposals:
$$\alpha = \min\left(1, \frac{p(D \mid \theta^*) p(\theta^*)}{p(D \mid \theta^{(t)}) p(\theta^{(t)})}\right)$$
### Example: Normal Mean and Variance
**Model**: $y_i \sim \mathcal{N}(\mu, \sigma^2)$, $i = 1, ..., n$
**Prior**: $p(\mu, \sigma^2) = p(\mu) p(\sigma^2)$
- $p(\mu) = \mathcal{N}(0, 100)$
- $p(\sigma^2) = \text{InvGamma}(0.01, 0.01)$
**Likelihood**:
$$p(D \mid \mu, \sigma^2) = \prod_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}} \exp\left(-\frac{(y_i - \mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}\right)$$
**Log-posterior** (up to constant):
$$\log \pi(\mu, \sigma^2) = \log p(D \mid \mu, \sigma^2) + \log p(\mu) + \log p(\sigma^2)$$
Sample using MH with Gaussian random walk proposals.
## Convergence Diagnostics
### Burn-in Period
Discard initial samples before the chain has converged to the stationary distribution.
**How to choose?**
- Plot trace plots and look for stabilization
- Typically 1000-10000 iterations
- Conservative: discard first 50% of samples
### Effective Sample Size (ESS)
Due to autocorrelation, MCMC samples are not independent.
$$\text{ESS} = \frac{N}{1 + 2\sum_{k=1}^\infty \rho_k}$$
where $\rho_k$ is the autocorrelation at lag $k$.
**Interpretation**: ESS ≈ number of independent samples
### Autocorrelation
$$\rho_k = \frac{\text{Cov}(\theta^{(t)}, \theta^{(t+k)})}{\text{Var}(\theta^{(t)})}$$
**Goal**: Low autocorrelation (faster mixing)
**Solutions**:
- Tune proposal distribution
- Thinning (keep every $k$-th sample)
- Advanced methods (HMC, parallel tempering)
### Gelman-Rubin Diagnostic ($\hat{R}$)
Run multiple chains with different starting points.
$$\hat{R} = \sqrt{\frac{\text{Var}^+}{\text{Within-chain variance}}}$$
**Interpretation**:
- $\hat{R} \approx 1$: Chains have converged
- $\hat{R} > 1.1$: Chains have not mixed
### Geweke Diagnostic
Compare means of first 10% and last 50% of chain.
$$Z = \frac{\bar{\theta}_A - \bar{\theta}_B}{\sqrt{\text{SE}_A^2 + \text{SE}_B^2}}$$
Under null hypothesis of convergence, $Z \sim \mathcal{N}(0, 1)$.
## Proposal Tuning
### Acceptance Rate
**Optimal acceptance rate** (for random walk Metropolis in high dimensions):
- 1D: 44%
- ∞-D: 23.4%
- Practical: 20-40%
**Too high** (> 50%): Proposals too small, slow exploration
**Too low** (< 10%): Proposals too large, many rejections
### Adaptive Metropolis
Automatically tune proposal covariance during burn-in:
$$\Sigma^{(t+1)} = \text{Cov}(\theta^{(1)}, ..., \theta^{(t)})$$
Proposal:
$$q(\theta' \mid \theta) = \mathcal{N}(\theta', \theta, 2.38^2 \Sigma^{(t)} / d)$$
where $d$ is dimension.
### Optimal Scaling
Roberts and Rosenthal (2001): For Gaussian targets in $d$ dimensions, optimal variance:
$$\sigma^2 = \frac{2.38^2}{d} \Sigma$$
where $\Sigma$ is posterior covariance.
## Advanced MCMC Methods
### Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC)
Uses gradient information to propose distant states with high acceptance.
**Advantages**:
- Efficient for high-dimensional problems
- Low autocorrelation
**Disadvantages**:
- Requires gradient computation
- More complex to implement
### Parallel Tempering
Run multiple chains at different "temperatures":
$$\pi_\beta(\theta) \propto \pi(\theta)^\beta$$
Exchange states between chains to improve mixing.
### Reversible Jump MCMC
For problems where dimension changes (model selection).
### Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC)
Particle filters for sequential data.
## Practical Considerations
### Initialization
**Strategies**:
1. **Random**: From prior or broad distribution
2. **MAP estimate**: From optimization
3. **Overdispersed**: Multiple chains, widely separated
### Thinning
Keep every $k$-th sample to reduce autocorrelation and storage.
**Debate**: Some argue thinning wastes information. Better to run longer and keep all samples (if storage permits).
### Reparameterization
Transform parameters to reduce correlation:
**Example**: Instead of $(\mu, \sigma^2)$, use $(\mu, \log\sigma)$.
Better geometry → better sampling.
### Multimodal Distributions
**Challenge**: Single chain may get stuck in one mode.
**Solutions**:
- Multiple independent chains
- Parallel tempering
- Simulated annealing
## Theoretical Guarantees
### Central Limit Theorem
For ergodic chains:
$$\sqrt{N}(\bar{\theta} - \mathbb{E}[\theta]) \xrightarrow{d} \mathcal{N}(0, \sigma^2)$$
where $\sigma^2$ depends on autocorrelation.
**Implication**: Monte Carlo estimates are asymptotically normal.
### Law of Large Numbers
$$\bar{\theta} = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N \theta^{(i)} \xrightarrow{a.s.} \mathbb{E}_\pi[\theta]$$
**Implication**: Estimates converge to true values.
### Convergence Rate
Geometric ergodicity: $\|P^t(\theta, \cdot) - \pi\| \leq C \rho^t$
for some $C > 0$ and $\rho < 1$.
Faster convergence → fewer samples needed.
## MCMC vs. Alternatives
| Method | Pros | Cons |
|--------|------|------|
| **MCMC** | General, exact (asymptotically) | Slow convergence, diagnostics needed |
| **Variational Inference** | Fast, scalable | Approximate, may be biased |
| **Importance Sampling** | Simple, independent samples | Requires good proposal |
| **Rejection Sampling** | Independent samples | Inefficient in high dimensions |
| **Grid/Quadrature** | Deterministic | Exponential in dimension |
## Applications
### 1. Bayesian Regression
Posterior inference for regression coefficients and variance.
### 2. Hierarchical Models
Multi-level models with group-specific and population parameters.
### 3. Mixture Models
Cluster analysis with unknown number of components.
### 4. Time Series
State space models, GARCH, stochastic volatility.
### 5. Spatial Statistics
Gaussian processes, kriging, disease mapping.
### 6. Computational Biology
Phylogenetic inference, population genetics.
## Software Implementations
### Stan
- Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (NUTS)
- Automatic differentiation
- Interfaces: R, Python, Julia, etc.
### PyMC
- Python library
- Variety of samplers

## Summary
MCMC provides a powerful framework for:
- Sampling from complex, high-dimensional distributions
- Bayesian inference when posteriors are intractable
- Computing expectations and quantiles
**Key components**:
1. **Markov chain**: Generates dependent samples
2. **Stationary distribution**: Chain converges to target
3. **Metropolis-Hastings**: General acceptance/rejection scheme
4. **Diagnostics**: Ensure convergence and adequate mixing
