simpeg.directives.BetaEstimateMaxDerivative

class simpeg.directives.BetaEstimateMaxDerivative(beta0_ratio=1.0, random_seed=None, **kwargs)

Bases: BaseBetaEstimator

Estimate initial trade-off parameter (beta) using largest derivatives.

The initial trade-off parameter (beta) is estimated by scaling the ratio between the largest derivatives in the gradient of the data misfit and model objective function. The estimated trade-off parameter is used to update the beta property in the associated simpeg.inverse_problem.BaseInvProblem object prior to running the inversion. A separate directive is used for updating the trade-off parameter at successive beta iterations; see BetaSchedule.

Parameters:

beta0_ratio: float

Desired ratio between data misfit and model objective function at initial beta iteration.

random_seedNone or RandomSeed, optional

Random seed used for random sampling. It can either be an int, a predefined Numpy random number generator, or any valid input to numpy.random.default_rng.

seedNone or RandomSeed, optional

Deprecated since version 0.23.0: Argument seed is deprecated in favor of random_seed and will be removed in SimPEG v0.24.0.

Notes

Let \(\phi_d\) represent the data misfit, \(\phi_m\) represent the model objective function and \(\mathbf{m_0}\) represent the starting model. The first model update is obtained by minimizing the a global objective function of the form:

\[\phi (\mathbf{m_0}) = \phi_d (\mathbf{m_0}) + \beta_0 \phi_m (\mathbf{m_0})\]

where \(\beta_0\) represents the initial trade-off parameter (beta).

We define \(\gamma\) as the desired ratio between the data misfit and model objective functions at the initial beta iteration (defined by the ‘beta0_ratio’ input argument). Here, the initial trade-off parameter is computed according to:

\[\beta_0 = \gamma \frac{| \nabla_m \phi_d (\mathbf{m_0}) |_{max}}{| \nabla_m \phi_m (\mathbf{m_0 + \delta m}) |_{max}}\]

where

\[\delta \mathbf{m} = \frac{m_{max}}{\mu_{max}} \boldsymbol{\mu}\]

and \(\boldsymbol{\mu}\) is a set of independent samples from the continuous uniform distribution between 0 and 1.
