Researchers have developed a new method called Center-Estimated Neural Posterior Estimator (CE-NPE) to improve the accuracy of simulation-based inference (SBI) when dealing with larger datasets than initially trained on. CE-NPE combines a statistical center with an explicit contraction rate, learning local center corrections and residual densities in posterior-scale coordinates. This approach demonstrated superior agreement with reference posteriors across various benchmarks, outperforming existing amortized estimators even at sample sizes five times larger than the training data, without requiring retraining.
