# Package: sns #
# #
# Stochastic Newton Sampler (SNS)- implements the MH-MGT (Metropolis-Hastings #
# with Multivariate Gaussian Tangents) algorithm described in the preprint: #
# http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0657 #
# Draws samples from twice differentiable, log-concave pdf. #
# #
# Version: 1.0 #
# #
# Scientific Computing Group, Sentrana Inc. #

# Core sampling function: draws samples from a multivariate pdf
# Args:
# init - starting point for the Markov chain
# f - function, gradient, Hessian evaluator for the log-density.
# Must a return a list with labels:
# f - the log-probability density
# g - gradient vector
# h - Hessian matrix
# rnd - Runs 1 iteration of Newton's method (non-stochastic) when FALSE
# Runs Metropolis-Hastings for draw a sample when TRUE
# NOTE: Set to FALSE only during burn-in
# gfit - Gaussian fit at 'init'. If NULL, Gaussian fit at 'init' is computed
# ... - Extra args all passed to evaluator whenever it's called
#
# Output:
# The sample, drawn from the pdf, as a vector, with attributes:
# accept - TRUE/FALSE, specifying whether the Metropolis move was accepted
# ll - value of the function at the sampled point
# gfit - Gaussian fit at the sampled point

# Main user function
# Args:
# K - dimension of the space to draw samples from
# nburnin - number of burn-in iteration (non-stochastic, Newton-Raphson)
# nsample - number of samples to draw (after burn-in)
# fghEval - function, gradient, Hessian evaluator for the log-density.
# Must a return a list with labels:
# f - the log-probability density
# g - gradient vector
# h - Hessian matrix
# start - initial point for the Markov chain. Default: rep(0.1, K)
# print.level - if non zero, prints sampling progress
# report.progress - number of sampling iterations between printing progress
# ... - Extra args all passed to evaluator whenever it's called
#
# Output:
# An object of class sns
#
# Note:
# The sampler is a Metropolis-Hastings Markov chain Monte Carlo variant, with
# a special form of the proposal function. During burn-in, a non-stochastic
# Newton-Raphson optimization is performed to get close to the pdf's mode.
#
# Currently restricted to log-concave, twice differentiable densities.
