A TransformedDistribution models p(y) given a base distribution p(x), and a deterministic, invertible, differentiable transform, Y = g(X). The transform is typically an instance of the Bijector class and the base distribution is typically an instance of the Distribution class.

A Bijector is expected to implement the following functions:

  • forward,
  • inverse,
  • inverse_log_det_jacobian.

The semantics of these functions are outlined in the Bijector documentation.

We now describe how a TransformedDistribution alters the input/outputs of a Distribution associated with a random variable (rv) X.

Write cdf(Y=y) for an absolutely continuous cumulative distribution function of random variable Y; write the probability density function pdf(Y=y) := d^k / (dy_1,...,dy_k) cdf(Y=y) for its derivative wrt to Y evaluated at y. Assume that Y = g(X) where g is a deterministic diffeomorphism, i.e., a non-random, continuous, differentiable, and invertible function. Write the inverse of g as X = g^{-1}(Y) and (J o g)(x) for the Jacobian of g evaluated at x.

A TransformedDistribution implements the following operations:

  • sample Mathematically: Y = g(X) Programmatically: bijector.forward(distribution.sample(...))

  • log_prob Mathematically: `(log o pdf)(Y=y) = (log o pdf o g^{-1})(y)

                   + (log o abs o det o J o g^{-1})(y)`

    Programmatically: (distribution.log_prob(bijector.inverse(y)) + bijector.inverse_log_det_jacobian(y))

  • log_cdf Mathematically: (log o cdf)(Y=y) = (log o cdf o g^{-1})(y) Programmatically: distribution.log_cdf(bijector.inverse(x))

  • and similarly for: cdf, prob, log_survival_function, survival_function.

Kullback-Leibler divergence is also well defined for TransformedDistribution instances that have matching bijectors. Bijector matching is performed via the Bijector.eq method, e.g., td1.bijector == td2.bijector, as part of the KL calculation. If the underlying bijectors do not match, a NotImplementedError is raised when calling kl_divergence. This is the same behavior as calling kl_divergence when two distributions do not have a registered KL divergence.

A simple example constructing a Log-Normal distribution from a Normal distribution:

tfd = tfp.distributions
tfb = tfp.bijectors
log_normal = tfd.TransformedDistribution(
  distribution=tfd.Normal(loc=0., scale=1.),
  bijector=tfb.Exp(),
  name='LogNormalTransformedDistribution')

A LogNormal made from callables:

tfd = tfp.distributions
tfb = tfp.bijectors
log_normal = tfd.TransformedDistribution(
  distribution=tfd.Normal(loc=0., scale=1.),
  bijector=tfb.Inline(
    forward_fn=tf.exp,
    inverse_fn=tf.log,
    inverse_log_det_jacobian_fn=(
      lambda y: -tf.reduce_sum(tf.log(y), axis=-1)),
  name='LogNormalTransformedDistribution')

Another example constructing a Normal from a StandardNormal:

tfd = tfp.distributions
tfb = tfp.bijectors
normal = tfd.TransformedDistribution(
  distribution=tfd.Normal(loc=0., scale=1.),
  bijector=tfb.Shift(shift=-1.)(tfb.Scale(scale=2.)),
  name='NormalTransformedDistribution')

A TransformedDistribution's batch_shape is the same as that of the base distribution, and its event_shape is the forward_event_shape of the bijector applied to the event_shape of the base distribution.

tfd.Sample or tfd.Independent may be used to add extra IID dimensions to the event_shape of the base distribution before the bijector operates on it. The following example demonstrates how to construct a multivariate Normal as a TransformedDistribution, by adding a rank-1 IID dimension to the event_shape of a standard Normal and applying tfb.ScaleMatvecTriL.

tfd = tfp.distributions
tfb = tfp.bijectors
# We will create two MVNs with batch_shape = event_shape = 2.
mean = [[-1., 0],      # batch:0
        [0., 1]]       # batch:1
chol_cov = [[[1., 0],
             [0, 1]],  # batch:0
            [[1, 0],
             [2, 2]]]  # batch:1
mvn1 = tfd.TransformedDistribution(
    distribution=tfd.Sample(
        tfd.Normal(loc=[0., 0], scale=1.),  # base_dist.batch_shape == [2]
        sample_shape=[2])                   # base_dist.event_shape == [2]
    bijector=tfb.Shift(shift=mean)(tfb.ScaleMatvecTriL(scale_tril=chol_cov)))
mvn2 = ds.MultivariateNormalTriL(loc=mean, scale_tril=chol_cov)
# mvn1.log_prob(x) == mvn2.log_prob(x)

copy

View source

    **override_parameters_kwargs
)

Creates a deep copy of the distribution.

Args
**override_parameters_kwargs String/value dictionary of initialization arguments to override with new values.

Returns
distribution A new instance of type(self) initialized from the union of self.parameters and override_parameters_kwargs, i.e., dict(self.parameters, **override_parameters_kwargs).

covariance

View source

covariance(
    name='covariance', **kwargs
)

Covariance.

Covariance is (possibly) defined only for non-scalar-event distributions.

For example, for a length-k, vector-valued distribution, it is calculated as,

Cov[i, j] = Covariance(X_i, X_j) = E[(X_i - E[X_i]) (X_j - E[X_j])]

where Cov is a (batch of) k x k matrix, 0 <= (i, j) < k, and E denotes expectation.

Alternatively, for non-vector, multivariate distributions (e.g., matrix-valued, Wishart), Covariance shall return a (batch of) matrices under some vectorization of the events, i.e.,

Cov[i, j] = Covariance(Vec(X)_i, Vec(X)_j) = [as above]

where Cov is a (batch of) k' x k' matrices, 0 <= (i, j) < k' = reduce_prod(event_shape), and Vec is some function mapping indices of this distribution's event dimensions to indices of a length-k' vector.

Args
name Python str prepended to names of ops created by this function.
**kwargs Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation.

Returns
covariance Floating-point Tensor with shape [B1, ..., Bn, k', k'] where the first n dimensions are batch coordinates and k' = reduce_prod(self.event_shape).

)

Computes the (Shannon) cross entropy.

Denote this distribution (self) by P and the other distribution by Q. Assuming P, Q are absolutely continuous with respect to one another and permit densities p(x) dr(x) and q(x) dr(x), (Shannon) cross entropy is defined as:

H[P, Q] = E_p[-log q(X)] = -int_F p(x) log q(x) dr(x)

where F denotes the support of the random variable X ~ P.

experimental_default_event_space_bijector

View source

experimental_default_event_space_bijector(
    *args, **kwargs
)

Bijector mapping the reals (R**n) to the event space of the distribution.

Distributions with continuous support may implement _default_event_space_bijector which returns a subclass of tfp.bijectors.Bijector that maps R**n to the distribution's event space. For example, the default bijector for the Beta distribution is tfp.bijectors.Sigmoid(), which maps the real line to [0, 1], the support of the Beta distribution. The default bijector for the CholeskyLKJ distribution is tfp.bijectors.CorrelationCholesky, which maps R^(k * (k-1) // 2) to the submanifold of k x k lower triangular matrices with ones along the diagonal.

The purpose of experimental_default_event_space_bijector is to enable gradient descent in an unconstrained space for Variational Inference and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo methods. Some effort has been made to choose bijectors such that the tails of the distribution in the unconstrained space are between Gaussian and Exponential.

For distributions with discrete event space, or for which TFP currently lacks a suitable bijector, this function returns None.

Args
*args Passed to implementation _default_event_space_bijector.
**kwargs Passed to implementation _default_event_space_bijector.

Returns
event_space_bijector Bijector instance or None.

kl_divergence

View source

kl_divergence(
    other, name='kl_divergence'
)

Computes the Kullback--Leibler divergence.

Denote this distribution (self) by p and the other distribution by q. Assuming p, q are absolutely continuous with respect to reference measure r, the KL divergence is defined as:

KL[p, q] = E_p[log(p(X)/q(X))]
         = -int_F p(x) log q(x) dr(x) + int_F p(x) log p(x) dr(x)
         = H[p, q] - H[p]

where F denotes the support of the random variable X ~ p, H[., .] denotes (Shannon) cross entropy, and H[.] denotes (Shannon) entropy.

other types with built-in registrations: Chi, ExpInverseGamma, GeneralizedExtremeValue, Gumbel, JohnsonSU, Kumaraswamy, LogLogistic, LogNormal, LogitNormal, Moyal, MultivariateNormalDiag, MultivariateNormalDiagPlusLowRank, MultivariateNormalFullCovariance, MultivariateNormalLinearOperator, MultivariateNormalTriL, RelaxedOneHotCategorical, SinhArcsinh, TransformedDistribution, VectorExponentialDiag, Weibull

Given random variable X, the cumulative distribution function cdf is:

View source

log_survival_function(

Given random variable X, the survival function is defined:

log_survival_function(x) = Log[ P[X > x] ]
                         = Log[ 1 - P[X <= x] ]
                         = Log[ 1 - cdf(x) ]

Typically, different numerical approximations can be used for the log survival function, which are more accurate than 1 - cdf(x) when x >> 1.
