FreeWassersteinBarycenter.init_state(bar_prob, bar_size, x_init=None, rng=None)[source]#

Initialize the state of the Wasserstein barycenter iterations.

Parameters:

  • bar_prob (FreeBarycenterProblem) – The barycenter problem.

  • bar_size (int) – Size of the barycenter.

  • x_init (Optional[Array]) – Initial barycenter estimate of shape [bar_size, ndim]. If None, bar_size points will be sampled from the input measures according to their weights flattened_y.

  • rng (Optional[Array]) – Random key for seeding.

Return type:

FreeBarycenterState

Returns:

The initial barycenter state.
