fix: SMCABC epsilon quantile and EnsemblePosterior.map deprecation - #2123
Two unrelated bug fixes, one per issue. They touch different parts of the code and
each comes with a small regression test.
1. SMCABC picks the wrong epsilon with distance_based_decay=True (#2117). _get_next_epsilon() used cumsum(distances) / sum(distances) as if it were the
empirical CDF. That expression weights every distance by its value instead of
counting samples, so the quantile crossing happens near the end of the sorted
array: epsilon_decay=0.1 ends up around the 32nd percentile, and for
heavy-tailed distances the function returns the maximum, i.e. epsilon does not
tighten at all. It now returns torch.quantile(distances, quantile), and the distance_based_decay docstring says that epsilon_decay is the quantile of the
previous population's distances, as asked in the issue.
Review raised several robustness gaps around the new call, all fixed: distances
that are neither float32 nor float64 (integer counts from a custom distance, or
half precision) are converted to float64, non-finite distances are dropped and a
clear ValueError is raised if none remain, the acceptance comparison also casts
distances to float64 so the quantile threshold is not rounded to a lower-precision
dtype, and an epsilon_decay outside [0, 1] fails at the top of __call__
instead of after the initial population has been simulated. The quantile and the
comparison move MPS tensors to CPU because MPS has no float64 support. A quantile
of 0.0 is valid with distance_based_decay=True and selects the minimum
distance.
2. EnsemblePosterior.map(x=..., individually=True) always raises (#2121).
The ensemble forwarded x to the map() of every component, but all other
posteriors already reject x in favour of set_default_x(), so the individual
branch raised while the joint MAP still accepted x. EnsemblePosterior.map()
now deprecates x too, and both branches use the default x; set_default_x() already propagates the observation to the components. The check
is local to EnsemblePosterior.map() so the change stays limited to the two
affected modules.
test_smcabc_next_epsilon_is_distance_quantile is parametrized over 0.1/0.5/0.9 and uses the heavy-tailed example from the issue, where the old
code returned 100.0 for every quantile.
test_smcabc_next_epsilon_handles_integer_and_non_finite_distances covers a
custom distance that returns integer counts, a half-precision vector, a vector
containing inf, and the all-inf case which now raises instead of returning NaN.
test_smcabc_rejects_invalid_quantile_with_distance_based_decay checks that epsilon_decay > 1 fails before any simulation budget is spent.
test_smcabc_accepts_zero_quantile_with_distance_based_decay checks that 0.0
is accepted and that the next epsilon is the minimum distance of the previous
population.
test_ensemble_map_uses_default_x uses an exact quadratic potential whose MAP
is the bound x, so it detects both branches using the wrong observation, and
checks that both deprecated x= paths raise the corrected message.
They all run in well under a second, so no slow marker. pyright reports 0 errors
on the changed modules; the only errors in uv run pyright sbi here are the
optional imports (pyro, pymc, tabpfn) which are not installed in my
environment.
About the local test run: tests/abc_test.py (all fast tests) and tests/ensemble_test.py pass, including the new tests. The complete -m "not slow and not gpu" run on my machine (Python 3.14, torch 2.12) fails
in tests/score_samplers_test.py and tests/metrics_test.py — the process
segfaults inside sklearn's MLPClassifier forward pass, which this PR does not
touch. I could not reproduce it away by re-running those files alone, so I did
not want to claim the full suite here; CI will show the real result.
CodeRabbit also flagged that two ensembles sharing the same component posteriors can
disagree about x. That comes from set_default_x() writing into the components and
applies to sample() and log_prob() just as much as to map(), so this PR does
not change it; it belongs in a separate issue about observation handling in the
ensemble.
I used an AI assistant while working on the code and this description. I reviewed
the changes and ran the checks myself.
Checklist
I have read the contributing guide.
uv run pytest -n auto -m "not slow and not gpu": passes for tests/abc_test.py and tests/ensemble_test.py; the full run hits the
sklearn crash described above.
uv run pre-commit run --all-files passes (ruff and formatting).
uv run pyright sbi passes (clean for the changed modules; see the note
above about the missing optional dependencies locally).
I added or updated tests for the changed behavior.
I used Google-style docstrings for new or changed public functions.
(If applicable) I reported how long new tests run and marked slow ones with pytest.mark.slow.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
SMCABC now validates distance-based decay quantiles and selects epsilon from finite distances. Ensemble MAP requires a configured default observation, supports forced component MAP updates, and retains the default observation across device moves. MAP errors direct callers to .set_default_x().
Distance-based decay validates epsilon_decay and selects epsilon using the requested quantile of finite distances. Distance comparisons convert values to float64. Tests cover quantile behavior, non-finite and integer distances, invalid quantiles, and the increased simulation budget in the performance test.
Ensemble MAP observation handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Default observation and component MAP updates sbi/inference/posteriors/ensemble_posterior.py, sbi/inference/posteriors/base_posterior.py, sbi/inference/posteriors/vector_field_posterior.py, tests/ensemble_test.py
Ensemble MAP rejects direct x input and requires a configured default observation for joint and individual calculations. It forwards force_update to component MAP calls. Device moves preserve the default observation. MAP error messages direct callers to .set_default_x(). Tests cover these behaviors.
The SMCABC quantile epsilon and ensemble MAP fixes look sound. The remaining concern is a narrow one: running SMCABC with data on an Apple MPS device would now fail at the acceptance comparison, because MPS cannot hold float64 tensors. Moving the comparison to CPU and returning the mask to the original device would fix it. Other platforms are not affected.

The title names both changes in the PR: the SMCABC epsilon quantile fix and the EnsemblePosterior.map deprecation of direct x. It is short and specific. It is a single line of 66 characters, which is within a reasonable length. The title covers both fixes, so a reviewer scanning history can tell what changed.

Explanation
The description follows the template. It has a 'What does this PR do?' section that explains both fixes in detail, a 'Does this close any issues?' section with Fixes #2117 and Fixes #2121, and an 'Anything else we should know?' section covering new tests, local test results, and the unrelated ensemble observation issue. The checklist is complete and ticked. The author also states AI assistant use, as the template asks. The only gap is that the description does not mention the later review-driven changes (force_update, validation of epsilon_decay, to() behavior), which the objectives say were added. That is a minor omission, not a missing required section.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Both direct issues are open and carry coding requirements. Verified at the reviewed head against the merge base.
[#2117] Requirement: with distance_based_decay=True, the next epsilon is the epsilon_decay quantile of the previous population's distances. SMCABC._get_next_epsilon() is now a static method. It drops non-finite distances, raises ValueError if none remain, and returns torch.quantile(..., interpolation="lower") on float64 values. This selects an observed distance at the requested quantile and replaces the value-weighted cumsum. __call__ validates epsilon_decay to (0, 1] when distance_based_decay=True. The acceptance comparison casts distances to float64. The docstring describes the quantile semantics. Tests cover heavy-tailed, integer, float16, and infinite inputs.
[#2121] Requirement: EnsemblePosterior.map() deprecates direct x and uses the default observation, and the message is corrected. The diff shows a ValueError for any non-None x with the message "Passing x directly to .map() has been deprecated. Use .set_default_x() ...". Both individual and joint branches use self.default_x. The individual branch no longer passes x to components. A missing default raises ValueError. The corrected message also appears in base_posterior.py and vector_field_posterior.py.
No unmet coding requirement is found. The PR description is stale on quantile 0.0. The code rejects 0 (0.0 < epsilon_decay). The issues do not require 0.0, so this does not fail the check.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The SMCABC changes implement [#2117]: quantile selection, epsilon_decay validation, float64 comparison, and non-finite handling. The EnsemblePosterior.map() changes implement [#2121]: deprecating x, using default_x in both branches, and the corrected message. The force_update parameter is added to the signature after individually. It is forwarded to components in individual mode. This is a new API parameter that the linked issues do not request. It is a reviewer-requested addition named in the PR objectives, so it is in the stated scope. The base_posterior.py and vector_field_posterior.py edits correct the deprecation message that [#2121] names. Test additions support the changed behavior.
Correction to the previous assessment: the ensemble_posterior.py diff at head contains no EnsemblePosterior.to() change. The previous explanation cited a to() fix, which this diff does not show. The to() test in ensemble_test.py checks existing default-x behavior. It is a supporting test and does not change the result.

@BHARATH0153 thanks for the PR! I will review it after November 9. Until then, please address the CodeRabbit comments and keep the PR concise, with as few changed lines as possible.
@janfb Thanks. All CodeRabbit threads are resolved, and I trimmed the diff as requested: I dropped the shared .map() deprecation helper and its refactor of base_posterior.py/vector_field_posterior.py. The PR now changes only smcabc.py, ensemble_posterior.py, and their tests (114 insertions / 28 deletions across 4 files, down from 124/39 across 6). tests/abc_test.py, tests/ensemble_test.py, ruff, and pyright pass locally.

Compare distances at the quantile’s precision.
The new quantile calculation returns a float64 threshold, but this comparison rounds it to the floating-point distance tensor’s dtype. (pytorch.org) For float16 distances [1.0, 1.0009765625] and quantile 0.75, the threshold is 1.000732421875. The comparison rounds it up and accepts 1.0009765625, even though it exceeds the threshold. This can bias the accepted population when distances occupy a few low-precision bins. Convert dists to float64 before comparing.

Move MPS distances to CPU before the float64 quantile conversion.
When distance_based_decay=True and the previous distances remain on MPS, finite_distances.to(torch.float64) can fail because MPS does not support float64 tensors. The quantile calculation then cannot produce the next epsilon.

Understood, and sorry for getting ahead of the scope question on #2122 — I should have waited for an answer before opening this, as we agreed on #2083.
Thanks for the pointer to #2125. Agreed that binding x as iid in more posteriors would spread the wrong trial count, so this and the reduced-trial correction should land together rather than as a separate change. I'll leave #2122 to your internal fix and won't push further on it.
The branch stays as-is if the test setup is useful as a reference, but I won't open anything else on it.
I'll keep focusing on #2123 and stay within that scope.

`_get_next_epsilon()` built a pseudo-CDF as `cumsum(distances) / sum(distances)`,
which weights every distance by its value instead of counting samples. The
requested quantile was therefore crossed near the end of the array, so
`epsilon_decay=0.1` picked roughly the 32nd percentile and heavy-tailed
distances returned the maximum, i.e. the threshold did not tighten. Use
`torch.quantile()` on the previous population's distances instead, and document
that `epsilon_decay` is then that quantile.
Fixessbi-dev#2117
Updated the zero-quantile test to call with return_summary=True and assert summary["epsilons"][1] == pytest.approx(summary["distances"][0].min().item()), so it now checks the selected epsilon, not just that the call completes.
@BHARATH0153 one more point while you are in EnsemblePosterior.map(): it has no force_update argument, while the map() of every other posterior has one. So ensemble.map(force_update=True) raises a TypeError. Could you add it? With individually=True, please pass it on to each component's map(), because the components cache their MAP. The joint MAP is computed on every call, so there the argument only needs to be accepted. A short test that map(force_update=True) runs in both modes is enough.
With `individually=True` the ensemble forwarded `x` to the `map()` of every
component, which all other posteriors already reject in favour of
`set_default_x()`. That path always raised, while the joint MAP still accepted
`x`. Both paths now use the default `x`.
`map()` also gains the `force_update` argument of the other posteriors. With
`individually=True` it is passed to each component, whose MAP is cached; the
joint MAP is computed on every call, so there it is only accepted.
Added force_update to EnsemblePosterior.map(). With individually=True it is forwarded to each component's map(), which caches its MAP; for the joint MAP it is accepted and ignored, since that is recomputed on every call. The docstring says so, and test_ensemble_map_uses_default_x now calls both modes with force_update=True. Pushed in new commit
…p the MPS branch
With distance_based_decay=True, epsilon_decay is a quantile, so values outside (0, 1] now raise a ValueError before any simulation. A quantile of 0 accepted almost nothing and burned the remaining budget, so it is no longer allowed.
The acceptance comparison is back to dists <= epsilon: SMCABC has no device support elsewhere, and the float64 and MPS branch had no test.
_get_next_epsilon is a staticmethod, and its tests use hard-coded expected values, including the quantile 1.
The slow SMCABC accuracy test spent its whole budget on the initial population and never reached the epsilon update; its budget now leaves room for SMC populations.
A stale MAP cached on the components is returned without force_update and recomputed with it; the earlier assertions passed even when the flag was not forwarded.
to() rebuilds the ensemble through NeuralPosterior.__init__, which reset the default x to None while the components kept theirs. sample() and log_prob() without x then failed after a move, and map() now does too since it requires the default x.
With linear interpolation the quantile lies between two distances, and the comparison in the distances' dtype could round it up: float16 distances [1.0, 1.0009765625] at quantile 0.75 accepted both. interpolation="lower" returns one of the distances, as MCABC's rank rule does, so the comparison is exact in any dtype.
A distance tensor in a lower precision than epsilon rounded epsilon in the acceptance step: integer distances above 2**24 promote to float32, and float16 distances under constant decay compare in float16. Both accepted distances above epsilon. SMCABC runs on the CPU, so the float64 cast needs no device branch.
@BHARATH0153 thanks for finding and fixing both bugs, and for adding force_update! The fixes look good. I will just add a couple of small commits on top, as review capacity is limited at the moment.
The quantile now takes an observed distance (interpolation="lower"), as MCABC does.
A quantile outside (0, 1] now raises a ValueError before any simulation, and 0 is no longer allowed: it accepted almost nothing and spent the whole budget.
The acceptance step compares in float64 without the MPS branch, because SMCABC runs on the CPU. A test with integer distances above 2**24 checks that no distance above epsilon gets accepted.
The slow SMCABC accuracy test used its whole budget for the initial population, so it never reached the new epsilon. It now has room for SMC populations.

- Line 375: Reorder the parameter declaration so force_update follows
individually, preserving the existing positional binding of individually and the
expected tuple-returning behavior for callers that pass it positionally.

…ap()
force_update now follows individually, so a call that passes individually as the ninth positional argument still returns the per-component MAPs. The test also covers the error for a missing default x.
One heavy-tail quantile covers the old bug, plus the upper bound, integer distances and dropped infinite distances. The full run with integer distances above 2**24 is dropped: the float64 comparison it guarded is one line, and such distances are unrealistic.

- Around line 484-488: The acceptance-distance float64 conversion in the SMCABC
sampling path may fail for MPS tensors. Update the acceptance comparison around
`self.distance` to move `dists` to CPU before converting to float64, then move
the resulting boolean mask back to `dists.device` so downstream acceptance
handling stays on the original device.

What does this PR do?
Two unrelated bug fixes, one per issue. They touch different parts of the code and
each comes with a small regression test.
1. SMCABC picks the wrong epsilon with
distance_based_decay=True(#2117)._get_next_epsilon()usedcumsum(distances) / sum(distances)as if it were theempirical CDF. That expression weights every distance by its value instead of
counting samples, so the
quantilecrossing happens near the end of the sortedarray:
epsilon_decay=0.1ends up around the 32nd percentile, and forheavy-tailed distances the function returns the maximum, i.e. epsilon does not
tighten at all. It now returns
torch.quantile(distances, quantile), and thedistance_based_decaydocstring says thatepsilon_decayis the quantile of theprevious population's distances, as asked in the issue.
Review raised several robustness gaps around the new call, all fixed: distances
that are neither float32 nor float64 (integer counts from a custom distance, or
half precision) are converted to float64, non-finite distances are dropped and a
clear
ValueErroris raised if none remain, the acceptance comparison also castsdistances to float64 so the quantile threshold is not rounded to a lower-precision
dtype, and an
epsilon_decayoutside[0, 1]fails at the top of__call__instead of after the initial population has been simulated. The quantile and the
comparison move MPS tensors to CPU because MPS has no float64 support. A quantile
of
0.0is valid withdistance_based_decay=Trueand selects the minimumdistance.
2.
EnsemblePosterior.map(x=..., individually=True)always raises (#2121).The ensemble forwarded
xto themap()of every component, but all otherposteriors already reject
xin favour ofset_default_x(), so the individualbranch raised while the joint MAP still accepted
x.EnsemblePosterior.map()now deprecates
xtoo, and both branches use the defaultx;set_default_x()already propagates the observation to the components. The checkis local to
EnsemblePosterior.map()so the change stays limited to the twoaffected modules.
Does this close any issues?
Fixes #2117
Fixes #2121
Anything else we should know?
New tests:
test_smcabc_next_epsilon_is_distance_quantileis parametrized over0.1/0.5/0.9and uses the heavy-tailed example from the issue, where the oldcode returned
100.0for every quantile.test_smcabc_next_epsilon_handles_integer_and_non_finite_distancescovers acustom distance that returns integer counts, a half-precision vector, a vector
containing
inf, and the all-infcase which now raises instead of returningNaN.test_smcabc_rejects_invalid_quantile_with_distance_based_decaychecks thatepsilon_decay > 1fails before any simulation budget is spent.test_smcabc_accepts_zero_quantile_with_distance_based_decaychecks that0.0is accepted and that the next epsilon is the minimum distance of the previous
population.
test_ensemble_map_uses_default_xuses an exact quadratic potential whose MAPis the bound
x, so it detects both branches using the wrong observation, andchecks that both deprecated
x=paths raise the corrected message.They all run in well under a second, so no
slowmarker.pyrightreports 0 errorson the changed modules; the only errors in
uv run pyright sbihere are theoptional imports (
pyro,pymc,tabpfn) which are not installed in myenvironment.
About the local test run:
tests/abc_test.py(all fast tests) andtests/ensemble_test.pypass, including the new tests. The complete-m "not slow and not gpu"run on my machine (Python 3.14, torch 2.12) failsin
tests/score_samplers_test.pyandtests/metrics_test.py— the processsegfaults inside sklearn's
MLPClassifierforward pass, which this PR does nottouch. I could not reproduce it away by re-running those files alone, so I did
not want to claim the full suite here; CI will show the real result.
CodeRabbit also flagged that two ensembles sharing the same component posteriors can
disagree about
x. That comes fromset_default_x()writing into the components andapplies to
sample()andlog_prob()just as much as tomap(), so this PR doesnot change it; it belongs in a separate issue about observation handling in the
ensemble.
I used an AI assistant while working on the code and this description. I reviewed
the changes and ran the checks myself.
