pygsti.extras.drift.stabilityanalyzer.compute_auto_estimator

compute_auto_estimator(transform)

The default method for estimating the parameters of a parameterized probability trajectory (i.e., this is not the method used for the model selection, only the method used to estimate the amplitudes in the parameterized model). This returns the fastest method that is pretty reliable for that transform, rather than the most statistically well-motivated choice (which is mle in all cases).

Parameters:

transform (str) – The type of transform that we are auto-selecting an estimation method for.

Returns:

The name of the estimator to use.

Return type:

str
