public class SeparateLaplaceLogPrior
extends SeparateLogPrior

Class for a LogPrior that defines a Laplace prior on the parameters of a set of DifferentiableStatisticalModels and a set of class parameters. The scale hyperparameters of the Laplace prior are determined from a set of class-specific base variances and the class variances, respectively. The formula to determine the shape hyperparameter b[i] for a parameter i from a variance v[i] is
b[i] = Math.sqrt(v[i]/2).
The variances v[i] for a parameter i of a DifferentiableStatisticalModel fun[j] are determined from the base variance v[j] as
v[i] = v[j]*funs[j].getSizeOfEventSpaceForRandomVariablesOfParameter(j) .
The mean parameters are set to 0 for the parameters of the DifferentiableStatisticalModels and to the user-specified means for the class parameters.

public SeparateLaplaceLogPrior(double[] vars,
                               double[] classVars,
                               double[] classMus)

Creates a new SeparateLaplaceLogPrior from a set of base variances vars, a set of class variances classVars and a set of class means classMus.

Parameters:

vars - the base variances for each class

classVars - the class variances

classMus - the class means

SeparateLaplaceLogPrior

public SeparateLaplaceLogPrior(StringBuffer xml)
                        throws NonParsableException

The standard constructor for the interface Storable. Creates a new SeparateLaplaceLogPrior out of its XML representation.

Parameters:

xml - the XML representation as StringBuffer

Throws:

NonParsableException - if the SeparateLaplaceLogPrior could not be reconstructed out of the XML representation (the StringBuffer could not be parsed)
