<br />

    tf.math.bessel_i0(
        x, name=None
    )

Modified Bessel function of order 0.

It is preferable to use the numerically stabler function `i0e(x)` instead.

    tf.math.special.bessel_i0([-1., -0.5, 0.5, 1.]).numpy()
    array([1.26606588, 1.06348337, 1.06348337, 1.26606588], dtype=float32)
