Sampling methods and distribution functions for the Ising model

Description

This package can be used to sample states from the Ising model and compute the probability of states. Sampling can be done for any number of nodes, but due to the intractibility of the Ising model the distribution can only be computed up to ~10 nodes.

Examples

## This code compares the different sampling algorithms to the expected
## distribution of states in a tractible number of nodes.

## In the end are examples on how to obtain the distribution.

# Input:
N <- 5 # Number of nodes
nSample <- 5000 # Number of samples

# Ising parameters:
Graph <- matrix(sample(0:1,N^2,TRUE,prob = c(0.7, 0.3)),N,N) * rnorm(N^2)
Graph <- pmax(Graph,t(Graph)) / N
diag(Graph) <- 0
Thresh <- -(rnorm(N)^2)
Beta <- 1

# Response options (0,1 or -1,1):
Resp <- c(0L,1L)

# All posible states:
AllStates <- do.call(expand.grid,lapply(1:N,function(x)Resp))

# Simulate with metropolis:
MetData <- IsingSampler(nSample, Graph, Thresh, Beta, 1000/N, 
  responses = Resp, method = "MH")

# Simulate exact samples (CFTP):
ExData <- IsingSampler(nSample, Graph, Thresh, Beta, 100,
  responses = Resp, method = "CFTP")

# Direct simulation:
DirectData <- IsingSampler(nSample, Graph, Thresh, Beta, method = "direct")

# State distirbutions:
MetDist <- apply(AllStates,1,function(x)sum(colSums(t(MetData) == x)==N))
ExDist <- apply(AllStates,1,function(x)sum(colSums(t(ExData) == x)==N))
DirectDist <- apply(AllStates,1,function(x)sum(colSums(t(DirectData) == x)==N))
ExpDist <- exp(- Beta * apply(AllStates,1,function(s)IsingSampler:::H(Graph,s,Thresh)))  
ExpDist <- ExpDist/sum(ExpDist) * nSample

## Plot to compare distributions:
plot(MetDist, type="l", col="blue", pch=16, xlab="State", ylab="Freq", 
  ylim=c(0,max(MetDist,DirectDist,ExDist)))
points(DirectDist,type="l",col="red",pch=16)
points(ExpDist,type="l",col="green",pch=16)
points(ExDist,type="l",col="purple",pch=16)
legend("topright", col=c("blue","red","purple","green"), 
  legend=c("Metropolis","Direct","Exact","Expected"),lty=1,bty='n')

## Likelihoods:

# Sumscores:
IsingSumLikelihood(Graph, Thresh, Beta, Resp)

# All states:
IsingLikelihood(Graph, Thresh, Beta, Resp)

# Single state:
IsingStateProb(rep(Resp[1],N),Graph, Thresh, Beta, Resp)
