Detailed Description
template<typename Params, typename LoggerType_>
class Tomographer::BinningAnalysis< Params, LoggerType_ >
Simple binning analysis for determining error bars.
This class implements the theoretical procedure described in the theory page Binning Analysis.
This class in fact can perform binning analysis in parallel on several different functions (or values you're integrating). This is useful, for example, to determine error bars and run the binning analysis independently on each bin of a histogram (see ValueHistogramWithBinningMHRWStatsCollector).
Several values here may be either specified at compile-time or at run-time, inspired by Eigen's mechanism using Eigen::Dynamic. For example, the number of independent values to track may be fixed at compile-time in the NumTrackValues template parameter of BinningAnalysisParams which you specify as the Params parameter here; however if the number of values will be determined dynamically at run-time, the NumTrackValues template parameter should be set to Eigen::Dynamic.
Raw samples are added to the analysis by calling processNewValues() with a list of values, one new value per independent function integration that we are tracking. You should call this function repeatedly, once per sample. This class then takes care of adding those raw samples to an internal samples buffer and flushing this buffer whenever is needed.
The final results of the binning analysis can be obtained by calling calcErrorLevels() to get the error bars at each binning level. Note that the analysis will only include all the flushed samples, i.e. all samples up to a multiple of samplesSize(). If additional samples were given which didn't fill the samples buffer, they are ignored for the error analysis but they are included in getBinMeans() and getBinSum().
To calculate the error levels, this class also needs to keep track of the sum of all samples to calculate their mean. However, this is often done independently, e.g. with a ValueHistogramMHRWStatsCollector. In order to avoid calculating this twice, you may tell this BinningAnalysis class NOT to worry about calculating the means of the samples and that you will provide the sample means yourself. This is specified using the StoreBinSums template parameter to BinningAnalysisParams. In this case, you'll need to use the variants of calcErrorLevels() and calcErrorLastLevel() with one argument, where you specify the bin means yourself.
You may also access some other information such as the sum of the squares of the samples at different binning levels (see getBinSqmeans()).
- Template Parameters
-
Params is a BinningAnalysisParams with template parameters. This type specifies such types and values as the type of the values we're integrating, the number of independent functions we're integrating, and so on. LoggerType a logger type as usual, for us to provide information about what we're doing and how the values look like.
- Todo:
- Further optimizations. For now, the raw samples are stored until they can be flushed up to the last level. Change this to do what ALPS' implementation does: flushing whenever it can, using a much shorter memory buffer, see https://alps.comp-phys.org/svn/alps1/trunk/alps/src/alps/alea/simplebinning.h .

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
§ BinningAnalysis()
|
inline |
Constructor.
You must specify also the number of values that we will be tracking independently (numTrackValues) and the number of binning levels (numLevels). If compile-time values have been provided as template parameters not equal to Eigen::Dynamic, these values MUST be equal to their compile-time given counterpart values.
Specify also a reference to a logger for logging messages. See Logging and Loggers.

Member Function Documentation
§ calcErrorLastLevel() [1/2]
|
inline |
Calculate the error bar of samples (from the last binning level).
Return a vector of numTrackValues elements, where the i -th item corresponds to the error bar of the i -th value determined from binning level numLevels.
If the error bars converged (see determineErrorConvergence()), this should be a good estimate of the error bars on the corresponding values.
Use this variant of the function if this class doesn't store the bin means. If so, you need to provide the value of the means explicitly to the parameter means.
Definition at line 780 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ calcErrorLastLevel() [2/2]
|
inline |
Calculate the error bar of samples (from the last binning level).
Return a vector of numTrackValues elements, where the i -th item corresponds to the error bar of the i -th value determined from binning level numLevels.
If the error bars converged (see determineErrorConvergence()), this should be a good estimate of the error bars on the corresponding values.
Use this variant of the function if this class stores the bin means. If this is not the case, you will need to call the variant calcErrorLastLevel(const Eigen::ArrayBase<Derived> & means) with the values of the means.
Definition at line 819 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ calcErrorLevels() [1/2]
|
inline |
Calculate the error bars of samples at different binning levels.
Return an array of shape (numTrackValues, numLevels) where element (i,k) corresponds to the error of the i -th value at binning level k. Binning level k=0 corresponds to the naive error bar from of the samples (no binning).
Use this variant of the function if this class doesn't store the bin means. If so, you need to provide the value of the means explicitly to the parameter means.
- Todo:
- this should be optimizable, using directly bin_sumsq and not effectively repeating the powersOfTwo constants...
Definition at line 735 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ calcErrorLevels() [2/2]
|
inline |
Calculate the error bars of samples at different binning levels.
Return an array of shape (numTrackValues, numLevels) where element (i,k) corresponds to the error of the i -th value at binning level k. Binning level k=0 corresponds to the naive error bar from of the samples (no binning).
Use this variant of the function if this class stores the bin means. If this is not the case, you will need to call the variant calcErrorLevels(const Eigen::ArrayBase<Derived> & means) with the values of the means.
Definition at line 801 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ determineErrorConvergence()
|
inline |
Attempt to determine if the error bars have converged.
Call this method after calculating the error bars for each level with calcErrorLevels(). Use the return value of that function to feed in the input here.
- Returns
- an array of integers, of length numTrackValues, each set to one of CONVERGED, NOT_CONVERGED or UNKNOWN_CONVERGENCE.
Contains code inspired by ALPS project, see https://alps.comp-phys.org/svn/alps1/trunk/alps/src/alps/alea/simplebinning.h.

§ getBinMeans()
|
inline |
Get the average of each tracked value observed.
Definition at line 671 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ getBinSqmeans()
|
inline |
Get the raw average of the squared values observed, for each binning level.
The vector bin_sqmeans.col(0) contains the raw average of the squares of the raw values observed, bin_sqmeans.col(1) the raw average of the squares of the values averaged 2 by 2 (i.e. at the first binning level), and so on.
Definition at line 685 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ getBinSum()
|
inline |
Get the sum of each tracked value observed.
This is only available if the StoreBinSums template parameter was set to true.
Definition at line 711 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ getBinSumsq()
|
inline |
Get the raw sums of the squared values observed, at each binning level.
The vector bin_sumsq.col(0) contains the raw sum of the squares of the raw values observed, bin_sumsq.col(1) the raw sum of the squares of the values averaged 2 by 2 (i.e. at the first binning level), and so on.
Definition at line 719 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ getNumFlushes()
|
inline |
Return the number of times the collected samples were flushed.
This corresponds to the number of values of which the most coarse-grained binned averaging consists of.
Definition at line 665 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ processNewValue()
|
inline |
Process a new value (if we're tracking a single function only)
Use this variant of the function if we're tracking a single function only, so that you don't have to specify a 1-element "array" to processNewValues().
Definition at line 626 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ processNewValues()
|
inline |
Process new raw samples.
Call this function whenever you have a new sample with corresponding values. The argument should evaluate to a column vector; each element of the vector corresponds to the value of a function we're tracking. The length of the vector must equal numTrackValues().
This will add the samples to the internal raw sample buffer, and flush the buffer as required.
Definition at line 562 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
§ reset()
|
inline |
Reset this object and start again as if freshly constructed.
After calling reset(), you may use this object as if you had freshly constructed it. All values are reset to zero and the samples buffer is emptied.
Definition at line 542 of file mhrw_bin_err.h.
