- unifies the current `Field` and `MultiField` classes (a classic field would have a single dictionary entry with an empty string as name)
- is immutable
- can contain scalars or array-like objects to describe field content (maybe even functions?)
If we have such a class we can again demand that all operations on fields require identical domains, and we can still avoid writing huge zero-filled arrays by writing scalar zeros instead.

One fix would be to allow ANY linear operator to operate on ANY MultiField, which is well defined since a linear operator applied to zero is always zero. Thoughts?

This only makes sense as long as we are not working very much with sums of energies. In this latter case, it doesn't matter if the individual curvatures are invertible or not, we just need to make sure that the summed-up curvature is invertible.
I'd like to propose the following changes:
- All inversion-related functionality is removed from the energy classes we currently have
- the `Energy` base class gets a new method `make_curvature_invertible()`, which takes an `IterationController` and optionally another `Energy` that serves as a preconditioner (we need an `Energy` here and not simply a `LinearOperator`, since the preconditioning might depend on position). This method returns a new `Energy` object, with invertible curvature.
- we add a new class `SamplingEnabledEnergy`, whose constructor takes two energies `prior` and `likelihood` and an `IterationController`. It returns an energy object that behaves like the sum of prior and likelihood, and returns a sampling-enabled curvature.https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/ift/nifty/-/issues/245dtypes in UnitLogGauss2018-06-27T15:55:19ZPhilipp Arrasparras@mpa-garching.mpg.dedtypes in UnitLogGauss```

- [ ] Move KL and poisson demo from GlobalNewton to NIFTy fork. (@parras)
- [x] Revert documentation to NIFTy4 (@parras)
Use `Model` for constructing the following energies (@mtr, @jruestig, @reimar, @pfrank):
- [ ] `GaussianLH`, `PoissonianLH` (new curvature)
- [ ] `NoiseModel`
- [ ] `make_correlated_field` (move from GlobalNewton)
- [ ] `make_amplitude_model` (move from GlobalNewton)
- [ ] `make_multifrequency_correlated_field` / `separable_correlations`(move from GlobalNewton and adopt)
To this end one probably needs to implement a Gaussian and a Poissonian likelihood which is to be used in all energies (see GlobalNewton repository). Please add documentation directly.
Documentation:
- [ ] Documentation on volume factors (see also #234, @reimar, @maxn).
- [ ] Add Models (@hutsch) and MultiFields (@mtr ) to top-level documentation.
- [ ] `__add__` and ` __sub__` of `Energy` (@mtr)
- [ ] `Constant` (@jruestig, @clienhar)
- [ ] `LocalModel` (@jruestig, @clienhar)
- [ ] `Model` (@jruestig, @clienhar)
- [ ] `Add` in models (@jruestig, @clienhar)
- [ ] `ScalarMul` (@jruestig, @clienhar)
- [ ] `LinearModel` (@jruestig, @clienhar)
- [ ] `Variable` (@jruestig, @clienhar)
- [ ] `ModelGradientOperator` (@clienhar)
- [ ] `SamplingEnabler` (@kjako)
- [ ] `SelectionOperator` (@lplatz)
Tests:
- [ ] Consistency checks for all linear operators (see `ift.extra`!). (@lplatz, @silvan, @mawandro)
- [ ] Gradient consistency checks for all energies in library (see `ift.extra`, do that when the energies are rewritten). (@lplatz, @silvan, @mawandro)
- [ ] Unit tests for all new functionality, especially for models. (@parras, @jruestig)
- [ ] Write `ift.extra.model_consistency_check` and check every model with it (@reimar, @silvan)
Demos:
- [X] Fix `demos/poisson_demo.py` or move poisson demo from GlobalNewton here.
- [X] Think about concept for demos. Which ones? How universal? Which features? MAP solution for multi-problems until Jakob's paper is out?
- [ ] Write demos (first `demo/advanced.py`, then `getting_started_123`, 1: R=mask, WF, 2: R=mask, PoissonLogNormal, 3: R=LOS, PosTanh, Gauss, AmplitudeReconstruction). Start when energies are ready. (@kjako, @natalia)
Internals:
- [ ] Add something like a `CurvatureInversionEnabler` class, which takes an `Energy`, an `IterationController` and (optionally) a preconditioner and adds invertability to the energy's curvature operator. Having such a class would probably allow for some code reductions in many energy classes. (This is now tracked as issue #246). (@mtr)
- [x] Move classes out of `model.py` except `Model`.
- [ ] Revert automatical casting of `Field` to `Model`. (@parras)
- [ ] Rewrite `__add__` of `Energy` such that no trees are created (@mtr).

I understand that this might be desired for the zero mode (and maybe the next one too) since the data should be informative enough to render the overall problem well-posed. But for the highest frequency mode, I would expect heavy problems in optimization from leaving this degree-of-freedom basically free.https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/ift/nifty/-/issues/240Drawing random fields in multi domains2018-05-23T10:15:45ZPhilipp Arrasparras@mpa-garching.mpg.deDrawing random fields in multi domainsThe following command breaks:

(just had a problem and only got the 'cannot draw from inverse of this operator', which is weird, if the InversionEnabler is on. Also I was not drawing from the inverse.
The reason was, that the `try` clause caught a completely different error jumped into `except` where it tried to draw a sample from the inverse of said operator, which was not implemented for that operator)https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/ift/nifty/-/issues/235Improved LOS response?2018-04-30T09:19:16ZMartin ReineckeImproved LOS response?@kjako mentioned some time ago that the current LOSResponse exhibits some artifacts.

Currently, the influence of a line...@kjako mentioned some time ago that the current LOSResponse exhibits some artifacts. I suspect that they are caused by our method to compute the "influence" of lines of sight on individual data points.
Currently, the influence of a line of sight on a data point is simply proportional to the length of its intersection with the cell around the data point. It doesn't matter whether the LOS cuts the cell near the edges or goes straight through the center. This also implies that tiny shifts of a line of sight may lead to dramatic changes of its influences on data points, which is probably not desirable.
I propose to use an approach that is more similar to SPH methods:
- each data point has a sphere of influence with a given R_max (similar to the cell distances)
- it interacts with all lines of sight that intersect its sphere of influence
- the interaction strength scales with the integral along the line of sight over a function f(r) around the data point, which falls to zero at R_max.
My expectation is that this will reduce grid-related artifacts.
