SimPEG 0.15.2 Release Notes#

November 12th, 2021

This patch release contains some improvements and bug fixes for the code base.

Updates#

Regularization Cell Weights#

Cell weights for all regularizations now are unified in their treatment. We do not assume that the cell weights have been multiplied by volumes ahead of time.

Along with this new assumption, we have updated the sensitivity weighting directive to normalize the sensitivity of J.T * J by volume. This allows a more intuitive definition of new weighting functions. We do expect this to slightly change examples that were using the Simple and Sparse regularization classes. If you were using set weighting parameters (i.e. not starting with a beta estimator directive), you will likely need to choose new weighting parameters.

PGI#

There are several incremental improvements to the petrophysical guided inversion (PGI) regularizations and directives, along with a bug fix to support the latest version of scikit-learn.

Others#

We have added support for reading in falcon formatted UBC-GIF styled data gravity gradient data. We have also added a bug fix for reading in UBC-GIF IP data.

We have fixed a bug with TreeMesh being used for the Simple regularization when not specifically specifying a active cells list.

There is now a forward_only option for the frequency domain methods to discard any stored matrix factorizations upon completion.
