openpathsampling.shooting.GaussianBiasSelector

class openpathsampling.shooting.GaussianBiasSelector(collectivevariable, alpha=1.0, l_0=0.5)[source]

A selector that biases according to a Gaussian along specified CollectiveVariable, with mean l_0 and width parameter alpha. That is, for snapshot \(x\) and CV \(\lambda\), the selection probability for each frame is weighted according to the function

\[P_\text{sel}(x) \propto \exp(-\alpha (\lambda(x) - l_0)^2)\]

Note that normalization here depends on the trajectory that the snapshot is a part of: the sum of the probabilities for all frames is 1, which gives a different normalization constant than the standard Gaussian distribution normalization, and exact probabilities for selecting a given snapshot will change depending on the trajectory it is a part of.

Parameters:
  • collectivevariable (CollectiveVariable) – the axis to use for the Gaussian

  • alpha (float) – the width of the Gaussian

  • l_0 (float) – the center of the Gaussian
