ferrotherm 0.35.0

//! What a sampler returned: many states, and what may honestly be computed from them.
//!
//! Every solver in this crate hands back one state. That is the right answer for an optimiser and
//! the wrong answer for a sampler, and this crate is a sampler: the device it prices charges
//! 1.692 pJ for a read and 7.09 fJ for a Gibbs cycle, so a machine that returns one state per
//! program is a machine that spent its entire budget on the thing it did not use. A [`SampleSet`]
//! is the missing noun.
//!
//! # Why this is a type and not a `Vec<Vec<i8>>`
//!
//! Because a set of states does not, by itself, license an expectation value. Averaging spins
//! across the states a tabu search visited produces a number of exactly the same shape as
//! `<s_i>` — a float in `[-1, 1]`, printable, plottable, indistinguishable in a table — and it
//! estimates nothing. Tabu search is not distributed by anything; it is a trajectory chosen to go
//! downhill, and the frequency with which it visits a state is a fact about the search, not about
//! the model.
//!
//! So the distribution a set came from is carried in the type ([`Provenance`]), and the estimators
//! REFUSE where it is absent:
//!
//! ```
//! use ferrotherm::samples::{SampleSet, Refused};
//! let visited = vec![vec![1i8, -1], vec![-1, -1]];
//! let e = vec![0.5, -0.5];
//! let set = SampleSet::from_search(visited, e, "tabu");
//! assert!(set.best().is_some());                       // a fact about the set: allowed
//! assert_eq!(set.mean_spin(0), Err(Refused::NotDistributional { method: "tabu" }));
//! ```
//!
//! `best`, `distinct` and [`SampleSet::ground_states`] are facts about the multiset and are always
//! available. `mean_spin`, `correlation`, `magnetization` and [`SampleSet::expectation`] are claims
//! about a distribution and are available only where there is one.
//!
//! # The error bar is the point
//!
//! An [`Estimate`] carries a standard error, and that standard error is **not** `sigma/sqrt(N)`.
//! Chain draws are autocorrelated, so `N` of them are worth `N/(2*tau_int)` independent ones, and
//! quoting the naive interval understates the error by `sqrt(2*tau)` — a factor of five on a chain
//! with `tau = 12`, which is an ordinary chain. The inflation is applied here rather than left to
//! the caller because the naive number is the one that gets published.
//!
//! The autocorrelation is measured **per observable**, on that observable's own trace, which is the
//! textbook definition and is strictly better than reusing one number for everything: energy and
//! magnetization mix at different rates on the same chain, and [`crate::certify`] deliberately
//! reports the worse of the two because a certificate is a summary. An estimate is not a summary.
//!
//! Each provenance has its own correlation structure and its own effective sample size:
//!
//! | provenance | independent draws | why |
//! |---|---|---|
//! | [`Provenance::Chain`] | `N / (2*tau_int)` | successive draws share a state |
//! | [`Provenance::Population`] | `N / rho` | replicas share an ancestor after resampling |
//! | [`Provenance::Enumerated`] | infinite | nothing was sampled; the weights are exact |
//! | [`Provenance::Search`] | — | refused |
//!
//! `rho` is population annealing's family statistic, which [`crate::popanneal`] already computes
//! and already reports; using it here is the same quantity doing the same job.
//!
//! # What this deliberately does not do
//!
//! It does not aggregate on construction. D-Wave's `SampleSet` stores distinct states with
//! occurrence counts, which is compact and which destroys chain order — and chain order is the
//! only thing `tau_int` can be computed from. Order is kept; [`SampleSet::distinct`] aggregates on
//! demand.
