What does this PR do?

get_posterior_samples_on_batch() currently assumes that sample_shape contains exactly one dimension. With a multidimensional shape such as (2, 3), fallback sampling raises an invalid permute error and batched sampling fails its shape assertion.

This change stacks fallback results at len(sample_shape) so the observation batch dimension follows every sample dimension. It also validates the complete leading shape instead of checking only two dimensions.

The regression test covers one dimensional and multidimensional sample shapes through both sampling paths.

Does this close any issues?

No existing issue matches this behavior.

Anything else we should know?

Local validation:

  1. python -m pytest tests/diagnostics_utils_test.py -q
  2. python -m pytest tests/sbc_test.py tests/tarp_test.py -m "not slow and not gpu" -q
  3. pre-commit run --files sbi/utils/diagnostics_utils.py tests/diagnostics_utils_test.py
  4. pyright sbi/utils/diagnostics_utils.py

An AI assistant helped identify the edge case and prepare the initial implementation and tests. The focused tests, existing diagnostics tests, formatting, lint, and changed source type check were then run locally.

Checklist

  • I have read the contributing guide.
  • uv run pytest -n auto -m "not slow and not gpu" passes.
  • uv run pre-commit run --all-files passes (ruff and formatting).
  • uv run pyright sbi passes.
  • I added or updated tests for the changed behavior.
  • I used Google-style docstrings for new or changed public functions.
  • (If applicable) I reported how long new tests run and marked slow ones with pytest.mark.slow.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The posterior sampling utility now preserves the requested sample-shape ordering for batched and non-batched sampling. Its shape validation checks the complete expected prefix. New tests cover one-dimensional and two-dimensional sample shapes.

Changes

Posterior sample shape correction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sampling shape handling
sbi/utils/diagnostics_utils.py
The non-batched path now stacks outputs at the sample-shape dimension. Shape validation now checks the full expected prefix. The output-shape comment reflects the updated convention.
Sampling shape validation
tests/diagnostics_utils_test.py
Parameterized tests verify output shapes for batched and non-batched sampling with one-dimensional and two-dimensional sample shapes.

Add Google-style docstrings to the dummy sampling methods.

DummyPosterior.sample and DummyPosterior.sample_batched are functions without docstrings. Add Args and Returns sections that describe the fixture contract.

As per coding guidelines, **/*.py must use Google-style docstrings for functions and classes.

Proposed change
 def sample(self, sample_shape, x, show_progress_bars=False):
+    """Return zero samples for one observation.
+
+    Args:
+        sample_shape: Requested sample dimensions.
+        x: Conditioning observation.
+        show_progress_bars: Whether to show sampling progress.
+
+    Returns:
+        Zero samples with the requested sample dimensions.
+    """
     return torch.zeros((*sample_shape, self.parameter_dim))

 def sample_batched(self, sample_shape, x, show_progress_bars=False):
+    """Return zero samples for each observation in a batch.
+
+    Args:
+        sample_shape: Requested sample dimensions.
+        x: Batch of conditioning observations.
+        show_progress_bars: Whether to show sampling progress.
+
+    Returns:
+        Zero samples with sample dimensions before the batch dimension.
+    """
     return torch.zeros((*sample_shape, len(x), self.parameter_dim))
