scvelo.tl.VELOVI.get_marginal_ll

VELOVI.get_marginal_ll(adata=None, indices=None, n_mc_samples=1000, batch_size=None, return_mean=True, **kwargs)

Return the marginal LL for the data.

The computation here is a biased estimator of the marginal log likelihood of the data. Note, this is not the negative log likelihood, higher is better.

Parameters
adata : AnnData, None

AnnData object with equivalent structure to initial AnnData. If None, defaults to the AnnData object used to initialize the model.

indices : Sequence[int], None

Indices of cells in adata to use. If None, all cells are used.

n_mc_samples : int

Number of Monte Carlo samples to use for marginal LL estimation.

batch_size : int, None

Minibatch size for data loading into model. Defaults to scvi.settings.batch_size.

return_mean : bool, None

If False, return the marginal log likelihood for each observation. Otherwise, return the mmean arginal log likelihood.

Return type

Tensor, float
