WoodburyPDFactorization{T,F} <: Factorization{T}

A "square root" factorization of a positive definite Woodbury matrix.

See pdfactorize, WoodburyPDRightFactor, WoodburyPDMat.

WoodburyPDMat <: PDMats.AbstractPDMat

Lazily represents a real positive definite (PD) matrix as an update to a full-rank PD matrix.

WoodburyPDMat(A, B, D)

Constructs the $n \times n$ PD matrix

\[W = A + B D B^\mathrm{T},\]

where $A$ is an $n \times n$ full rank positive definite matrix, $D$ is an $m \times m$ symmetric matrix, and $B$ is an $n \times m$ matrix. Note that $B$ and $D$ must be chosen such that $W$ is positive definite; otherwise an error will be thrown during construction.

Upon construction, WoodburyPDMat calls pdfactorize to construct a WoodburyPDFactorization, which is used in its overloads. z See pdfactorize, WoodburyPDFactorization

WoodburyPDRightFactor{T,TA,Q,TC} <: AbstractMatrix{T}

The right factor $R$ of a WoodburyPDFactorization.

fit_mvnormals(θs, ∇logpθs; history_length=5) -> (dists, num_bfgs_updates_rejected)

Fit a multivariate-normal distribution to each point on the trajectory θs.

Given θs with gradients ∇logpθs, construct LBFGS inverse Hessian approximations with the provided history_length. The inverse Hessians approximate a covariance. The covariances and corresponding means that define multivariate normal approximations per point are returned.

The 2nd returned value is the number of BFGS updates to the inverse Hessian matrices that were rejected due to keeping the inverse Hessian positive definite.

lbfgs_inverse_hessian(H₀, S₀, Y₀, history_ind, history_length) -> WoodburyPDMat

Compute approximate inverse Hessian initialized from H₀ from history stored in S₀ and Y₀.

history_ind indicates the column in S₀ and Y₀ that was most recently added to the history, while history_length indicates the number of first columns in S₀ and Y₀ currently being used for storing history. S = S₀[:, history_ind+1:history_length; 1:history_ind] reorders the columns of ₀ so that the oldest is first and newest is last.

From Theorem 2.2 of ^[Byrd1994], the expression for the inverse Hessian $H$ is

\[\begin{align} B &= \begin{pmatrix}H_0 Y & S\end{pmatrix}\\ R &= \operatorname{triu}(S^\mathrm{T} Y)\\ E &= I \circ R\\ D &= \begin{pmatrix} 0 & -R^{-1}\\ -R^{-\mathrm{T}} & R^\mathrm{-T} (E + Y^\mathrm{T} H_0 Y ) R^\mathrm{-1}\\ \end{pmatrix}\ H &= H_0 + B D B^\mathrm{T} \end{align}\]

lbfgs_inverse_hessians(
    θs, ∇logpθs; Hinit=gilbert_init, history_length=5, ϵ=1e-12
) -> Tuple{Vector{WoodburyPDMat},Int}

From an L-BFGS trajectory and gradients, compute the inverse Hessian approximations at each point.

Given positions θs with gradients ∇logpθs, construct LBFGS inverse Hessian approximations with the provided history_length.

The 2nd returned value is the number of BFGS updates to the inverse Hessian matrices that were rejected due to keeping the inverse Hessian positive definite.

pdfactorize(A, B, D) -> WoodburyPDFactorization

Factorize the positive definite matrix $W = A + B D B^\mathrm{T}$.

The result is the "square root" factorization (L, R), where $W = L R$ and $L = R^\mathrm{T}$.

Let $U^\mathrm{T} U = A$ be the Cholesky decomposition of $A$, and let $Q X = U^{-\mathrm{T}} B$ be a thin QR decomposition. Define $C = I + XDX^\mathrm{T}$, with the Cholesky decomposition $V^\mathrm{T} V = C$. Then, $W = R^\mathrm{T} R$, where

\[R = \begin{pmatrix} U & 0 \\ 0 & I \end{pmatrix} Q^\mathrm{T} V.\]

The positive definite requirement is equivalent to the requirement that both $A$ and $C$ are positive definite.

For a derivation of this decomposition for the special case of diagonal $A$, see appendix A of ^[Zhang2021].

pdunfactorize(F::WoodburyPDFactorization) -> (A, B, D)

Perform a reverse operation to pdfactorize.

Note that this function does not compute the inverse of pdfactorize. It only computes matrices that produce the same matrix $W = A + B D B^\mathrm{T}$ as for the inputs to pdfactorize.

resample(rng, x, log_weights, ndraws) -> (draws, psis_result)
resample(rng, x, ndraws) -> draws

Draw ndraws samples from x, with replacement.

If log_weights is provided, perform Pareto smoothed importance resampling.
