tfp.experimental.distribute.JointDistributionNamed

A sharding-aware JointDistributionNamed.

Inherits From: JointDistributionNamed, JointDistributionSequential, JointDistribution, Distribution

tfp.experimental.distribute.JointDistributionNamed(
    model, validate_args=False, name=None
)

Args
`model`	Python `dict`, `collections.OrderedDict`, or `namedtuple` of distribution-making functions each with required args corresponding only to other keys.
`validate_args`	Python `bool`. Whether to validate input with asserts. If `validate_args` is `False`, and the inputs are invalid, correct behavior is not guaranteed. Default value: `False`.
`name`	The name for ops managed by the distribution. Default value: `None` (i.e., `"JointDistributionNamed"`).

Attributes
`allow_nan_stats`	Python `bool` describing behavior when a stat is undefined. Stats return +/- infinity when it makes sense. E.g., the variance of a Cauchy distribution is infinity. However, sometimes the statistic is undefined, e.g., if a distribution's pdf does not achieve a maximum within the support of the distribution, the mode is undefined. If the mean is undefined, then by definition the variance is undefined. E.g. the mean for Student's T for df = 1 is undefined (no clear way to say it is either + or - infinity), so the variance = E[(X - mean)**2] is also undefined.
`batch_shape`	Shape of a single sample from a single event index as a `TensorShape`. May be partially defined or unknown. The batch dimensions are indexes into independent, non-identical parameterizations of this distribution.
`dtype`	The `DType` of `Tensor`s handled by this `Distribution`.
`event_shape`	Shape of a single sample from a single batch as a `TensorShape`. May be partially defined or unknown.
`experimental_shard_axis_names`	Indicates whether part distributions have active shard axis names.
`model`
`name`	Name prepended to all ops created by this `Distribution`.
`name_scope`	Returns a `tf.name_scope` instance for this class.
`non_trainable_variables`	Sequence of non-trainable variables owned by this module and its submodules. Note: this method uses reflection to find variables on the current instance and submodules. For performance reasons you may wish to cache the result of calling this method if you don't expect the return value to change.
`parameters`	Dictionary of parameters used to instantiate this `Distribution`.
`reparameterization_type`	Describes how samples from the distribution are reparameterized. Currently this is one of the static instances `tfd.FULLY_REPARAMETERIZED` or `tfd.NOT_REPARAMETERIZED`.
`submodules`	Sequence of all sub-modules. Submodules are modules which are properties of this module, or found as properties of modules which are properties of this module (and so on). `a = tf.Module()` `b = tf.Module()` `c = tf.Module()` `a.b = b` `b.c = c` `list(a.submodules) == [b, c]` `True` `list(b.submodules) == [c]` `True` `list(c.submodules) == []` `True`
`trainable_variables`	Sequence of trainable variables owned by this module and its submodules. Note: this method uses reflection to find variables on the current instance and submodules. For performance reasons you may wish to cache the result of calling this method if you don't expect the return value to change.
`use_vectorized_map`
`validate_args`	Python `bool` indicating possibly expensive checks are enabled.
`variables`	Sequence of variables owned by this module and its submodules. Note: this method uses reflection to find variables on the current instance and submodules. For performance reasons you may wish to cache the result of calling this method if you don't expect the return value to change.

Methods

`batch_shape_tensor`

View source

batch_shape_tensor(
    name='batch_shape_tensor'
)

Shape of a single sample from a single event index as a 1-D Tensor.

The batch dimensions are indexes into independent, non-identical parameterizations of this distribution.

Args
`name`	name to give to the op

Returns
`batch_shape`	`Tensor`.

`cdf`

View source

cdf(
    value, name='cdf', **kwargs
)

Cumulative distribution function.

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

cdf(x) := P[X <= x]

Args
`value`	`float` or `double` `Tensor`.
`name`	Python `str` prepended to names of ops created by this function.
`**kwargs`	Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation.

Returns

`copy`

View source

copy(
    **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)`.

`cross_entropy`

View source

cross_entropy(
    other, name='cross_entropy'
)

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.

Args
`other`	`tfp.distributions.Distribution` instance.
`name`	Python `str` prepended to names of ops created by this function.

Returns
`cross_entropy`	`self.dtype` `Tensor` with shape `[B1, ..., Bn]` representing `n` different calculations of (Shannon) cross entropy.

    name='entropy', **kwargs
)

Additional documentation from JointDistributionSequential:

Shannon entropy in nats.

`event_shape_tensor`

View source

event_shape_tensor(
    name='event_shape_tensor'
)

Shape of a single sample from a single batch as a 1-D int32 Tensor.

Args
`name`	name to give to the op

Returns
`event_shape`	`Tensor`.

`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`.

`experimental_fit`

View source

@classmethod
experimental_fit(
    value, sample_ndims=1, validate_args=False, **init_kwargs
)

Instantiates a distribution that maximizes the likelihood of x.

Args
`value`	a `Tensor` valid sample from this distribution family.
`sample_ndims`	Positive `int` Tensor number of leftmost dimensions of `value` that index i.i.d. samples. Default value: `1`.
`validate_args`	Python `bool`, default `False`. When `True`, distribution parameters are checked for validity despite possibly degrading runtime performance. When `False`, invalid inputs may silently render incorrect outputs. Default value: `False`.
`**init_kwargs`	Additional keyword arguments passed through to `cls.__init__`. These take precedence in case of collision with the fitted parameters; for example, `tfd.Normal.experimental_fit([1., 1.], scale=20.)` returns a Normal distribution with `scale=20.` rather than the maximum likelihood parameter `scale=0.`.

Returns
`maximum_likelihood_instance`	instance of `cls` with parameters that maximize the likelihood of `value`.

`experimental_pin`

View source

experimental_pin(
    *args, **kwargs
)

Pins some parts, returning an unnormalized distribution object.

The calling convention is much like other JointDistribution methods (e.g. log_prob), but with the difference that not all parts are required. In this respect, the behavior is similar to that of the sample function's value argument.

Examples:

# Given the following joint distribution:
jd = tfd.JointDistributionSequential([
    tfd.Normal(0., 1., name='z'),
    tfd.Normal(0., 1., name='y'),
    lambda y, z: tfd.Normal(y + z, 1., name='x')
], validate_args=True)

# The following calls are all permissible and produce
# `JointDistributionPinned` objects behaving identically.
PartialXY = collections.namedtuple('PartialXY', 'x,y')
PartialX = collections.namedtuple('PartialX', 'x')
assert (jd.experimental_pin(x=2.).pins ==
        jd.experimental_pin(x=2., z=None).pins ==
        jd.experimental_pin(dict(x=2.)).pins ==
        jd.experimental_pin(dict(x=2., y=None)).pins ==
        jd.experimental_pin(PartialXY(x=2., y=None)).pins ==
        jd.experimental_pin(PartialX(x=2.)).pins ==
        jd.experimental_pin(None, None, 2.).pins ==
        jd.experimental_pin([None, None, 2.]).pins)

Args
`*args`	Positional arguments: a value structure or component values (see above).
`**kwargs`	Keyword arguments: a value structure or component values (see above). May also include `name`, specifying a Python string name for ops generated by this method.

Returns
`pinned`	a `tfp.experimental.distributions.JointDistributionPinned` with the given values pinned.

`experimental_sample_and_log_prob`

View source

experimental_sample_and_log_prob(
    sample_shape=(), seed=None, name='sample_and_log_prob', **kwargs
)

Samples from this distribution and returns the log density of the sample.

The default implementation simply calls sample and log_prob:

def _sample_and_log_prob(self, sample_shape, seed, **kwargs):
  x = self.sample(sample_shape=sample_shape, seed=seed, **kwargs)
  return x, self.log_prob(x, **kwargs)

However, some subclasses may provide more efficient and/or numerically stable implementations.

Args
`sample_shape`	integer `Tensor` desired shape of samples to draw. Default value: `()`.
`seed`	PRNG seed; see `tfp.random.sanitize_seed` for details. Default value: `None`.
`name`	name to give to the op. Default value: `'sample_and_log_prob'`.
`**kwargs`	Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation.

Returns
`samples`	a `Tensor`, or structure of `Tensor`s, with prepended dimensions `sample_shape`.
`log_prob`	a `Tensor` of shape `sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape` with values of type `self.dtype`.

`is_scalar_batch`

View source

is_scalar_batch(
    name='is_scalar_batch'
)

Indicates that batch_shape == [].

Args
`name`	Python `str` prepended to names of ops created by this function.

Returns
`is_scalar_batch`	`bool` scalar `Tensor` for each distribution in `model`.

`is_scalar_event`

View source

is_scalar_event(
    name='is_scalar_event'
)

Indicates that event_shape == [].

Args
`name`	Python `str` prepended to names of ops created by this function.

Returns
`is_scalar_event`	`bool` scalar `Tensor` for each distribution in `model`.

`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.

Args
`other`	`tfp.distributions.Distribution` instance.
`name`	Python `str` prepended to names of ops created by this function.

Returns
`kl_divergence`	`self.dtype` `Tensor` with shape `[B1, ..., Bn]` representing `n` different calculations of the Kullback-Leibler divergence.

`log_cdf`

View source

log_cdf(
    value, name='log_cdf', **kwargs
)

Log cumulative distribution function.

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

log_cdf(x) := Log[ P[X <= x] ]

Often, a numerical approximation can be used for log_cdf(x) that yields a more accurate answer than simply taking the logarithm of the cdf when x << -1.

Args
`value`	`float` or `double` `Tensor`.
`name`	Python `str` prepended to names of ops created by this function.
`**kwargs`	Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation.

Returns
`logcdf`	a `Tensor` of shape `sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape` with values of type `self.dtype`.

`log_prob`

View source

log_prob(
    *args, **kwargs
)

Log probability density/mass function.

The measure methods of JointDistribution (log_prob, prob, etc.) can be called either by passing a single structure of tensors or by using named args for each part of the joint distribution state. For example,

jd = tfd.JointDistributionSequential([
    tfd.Normal(0., 1.),
    lambda z: tfd.Normal(z, 1.)
], validate_args=True)
jd.dtype
# ==> [tf.float32, tf.float32]
z, x = sample = jd.sample()
# The following calling styles are all permissable and produce the exactly
# the same output.
assert (jd.log_prob(sample) ==
        jd.log_prob(value=sample) ==
        jd.log_prob(z, x) ==
        jd.log_prob(z=z, x=x) ==
        jd.log_prob(z, x=x))

# These calling possibilities also imply that one can also use `*`
# expansion, if `sample` is a sequence:
jd.log_prob(*sample)
# and similarly, if `sample` is a map, one can use `**` expansion:
jd.log_prob(**sample)

JointDistribution component distributions names are resolved via jd._flat_resolve_names(), which is implemented by each JointDistribution subclass (see subclass documentation for details). Generally, for components where a name was provided--- either explicitly as the name argument to a distribution or as a key in a dict-valued JointDistribution, or implicitly, e.g., by the argument name of a JointDistributionSequential distribution-making function---the provided name will be used. Otherwise the component will receive a dummy name; these may change without warning and should not be relied upon.

trivial_jd = tfd.JointDistributionSequential([tfd.Exponential(1.)])
trivial_jd.dtype  # => [tf.float32]
trivial_jd.log_prob([4.])
# ==> Tensor with shape `[]`.
lp = trivial_jd.log_prob(4.)
# ==> Tensor with shape `[]`.

Notice that in the first call, [4.] is interpreted as a list of one scalar while in the second call the input is a scalar. Hence both inputs result in identical scalar outputs. If we wanted to pass an explicit vector to the Exponential component---creating a vector-shaped batch of log_probs---we could instead write trivial_jd.log_prob(np.array([4])).

Args
`*args`	Positional arguments: a `value` structure or component values (see above).
`**kwargs`	Keyword arguments: a `value` structure or component values (see above). May also include `name`, specifying a Python string name for ops generated by this method.

Returns
`log_prob`	a `Tensor` of shape `sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape` with values of type `self.dtype`.

`log_prob_parts`

View source

log_prob_parts(
    value, name='log_prob_parts'
)

Log probability density/mass function.

Args
`value`	`list` of `Tensor`s in `distribution_fn` order for which we compute the `log_prob_parts` and to parameterize other ("downstream") distributions.
`name`	name prepended to ops created by this function. Default value: `"log_prob_parts"`.

Returns
`log_prob_parts`	a `tuple` of `Tensor`s representing the `log_prob` for each `distribution_fn` evaluated at each corresponding `value`.

`log_survival_function`

View source

log_survival_function(
    value, name='log_survival_function', **kwargs
)

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.

Args
`value`	`float` or `double` `Tensor`.
`name`	Python `str` prepended to names of ops created by this function.
`**kwargs`	Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation.

Returns
`Tensor` of shape `sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape` with values of type `self.dtype`.

View source

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

View source

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

Mode.

`param_shapes`

View source

@classmethod
param_shapes(
    sample_shape, name='DistributionParamShapes'
)

Shapes of parameters given the desired shape of a call to sample(). (deprecated)

This is a class method that describes what key/value arguments are required to instantiate the given Distribution so that a particular shape is returned for that instance's call to sample().

Subclasses should override class method _param_shapes.

Args
`sample_shape`	`Tensor` or python list/tuple. Desired shape of a call to `sample()`.
`name`	name to prepend ops with.

Returns
`dict` of parameter name to `Tensor` shapes.

`param_static_shapes`

View source

@classmethod
param_static_shapes(
    sample_shape
)

param_shapes with static (i.e. TensorShape) shapes. (deprecated)

This is a class method that describes what key/value arguments are required to instantiate the given Distribution so that a particular shape is returned for that instance's call to sample(). Assumes that the sample's shape is known statically.

Subclasses should override class method _param_shapes to return constant-valued tensors when constant values are fed.

Args
`sample_shape`	`TensorShape` or python list/tuple. Desired shape of a call to `sample()`.

Returns
`dict` of parameter name to `TensorShape`.

Raises
`ValueError`	if `sample_shape` is a `TensorShape` and is not fully defined.

`parameter_properties`

View source

@classmethod
parameter_properties(
    dtype=tf.float32, num_classes=None
)

Returns a dict mapping constructor arg names to property annotations.

This dict should include an entry for each of the distribution's Tensor-valued constructor arguments.

Distribution subclasses are not required to implement _parameter_properties, so this method may raise NotImplementedError. Providing a _parameter_properties implementation enables several advanced features, including:

Distribution batch slicing (sliced_distribution = distribution[i:j]).
Automatic inference of _batch_shape and _batch_shape_tensor, which must otherwise be computed explicitly.
Automatic instantiation of the distribution within TFP's internal property tests.
Automatic construction of 'trainable' instances of the distribution using appropriate bijectors to avoid violating parameter constraints. This enables the distribution family to be used easily as a surrogate posterior in variational inference.

In the future, parameter property annotations may enable additional functionality; for example, returning Distribution instances from tf.vectorized_map.

Args
`dtype`	Optional float `dtype` to assume for continuous-valued parameters. Some constraining bijectors require advance knowledge of the dtype because certain constants (e.g., `tfb.Softplus.low`) must be instantiated with the same dtype as the values to be transformed.
`num_classes`	Optional `int` `Tensor` number of classes to assume when inferring the shape of parameters for categorical-like distributions. Otherwise ignored.

Returns
`parameter_properties`	A `str ->`tfp.python.internal.parameter_properties.ParameterProperties`dict mapping constructor argument names to`ParameterProperties` instances.

Raises
`NotImplementedError`	if the distribution class does not implement `_parameter_properties`.

`prob`

View source

prob(
    *args, **kwargs
)

Probability density/mass function.

jd = tfd.JointDistributionSequential([
    tfd.Normal(0., 1.),
    lambda z: tfd.Normal(z, 1.)
], validate_args=True)
jd.dtype
# ==> [tf.float32, tf.float32]
z, x = sample = jd.sample()
# The following calling styles are all permissable and produce the exactly
# the same output.
assert (jd.prob(sample) ==
        jd.prob(value=sample) ==
        jd.prob(z, x) ==
        jd.prob(z=z, x=x) ==
        jd.prob(z, x=x))

# These calling possibilities also imply that one can also use `*`
# expansion, if `sample` is a sequence:
jd.prob(*sample)
# and similarly, if `sample` is a map, one can use `**` expansion:
jd.prob(**sample)

trivial_jd = tfd.JointDistributionSequential([tfd.Exponential(1.)])
trivial_jd.dtype  # => [tf.float32]
trivial_jd.prob([4.])
# ==> Tensor with shape `[]`.
prob = trivial_jd.prob(4.)
# ==> Tensor with shape `[]`.

Notice that in the first call, [4.] is interpreted as a list of one scalar while in the second call the input is a scalar. Hence both inputs result in identical scalar outputs. If we wanted to pass an explicit vector to the Exponential component---creating a vector-shaped batch of probs---we could instead write trivial_jd.prob(np.array([4])).

Args
`*args`	Positional arguments: a `value` structure or component values (see above).
`**kwargs`	Keyword arguments: a `value` structure or component values (see above). May also include `name`, specifying a Python string name for ops generated by this method.

Returns
`prob`	a `Tensor` of shape `sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape` with values of type `self.dtype`.

    value, name='prob_parts'
)

Args
`value`	`list` of `Tensor`s in `distribution_fn` order for which we compute the `prob_parts` and to parameterize other ("downstream") distributions.
`name`	name prepended to ops created by this function. Default value: `"prob_parts"`.

Returns
`prob_parts`	a `tuple` of `Tensor`s representing the `prob` for each `distribution_fn` evaluated at each corresponding `value`.

`quantile`

View source

quantile(
    value, name='quantile', **kwargs
)

This function is experimental. That said, we encourage its use and ask that you report problems to tfprobability@tensorflow.org.

Args
`distribution_names`	`list` of `str` or `None` names corresponding to each of `model` elements. (`None`s are expanding into the appropriate `str`.)
`leaf_name`	`str` used when no maker depends on a particular `model` element.

Returns
`graph`	`tuple` of `(str tuple)` pairs representing the name of each distribution (maker) and the names of its dependencies.

where X is the random variable associated with this distribution, E denotes expectation, and stddev.shape = batch_shape + event_shape.

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

Returns
`stddev`	Floating-point `Tensor` with shape identical to `batch_shape + event_shape`, i.e., the same shape as `self.mean()`.

`survival_function`

View source

survival_function(
    value, name='survival_function', **kwargs
)

Survival function.

Given random variable X, the survival function is defined:

survival_function(x) = P[X > x]
                     = 1 - P[X <= x]
                     = 1 - cdf(x).

Args
`value`	`float` or `double` `Tensor`.
`name`	Python `str` prepended to names of ops created by this function.
`**kwargs`	Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation.

Returns
`Tensor` of shape `sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape` with values of type `self.dtype`.

`unnormalized_log_prob`

View source

unnormalized_log_prob(
    *args, **kwargs
)

Unnormalized log probability density/mass function.

jd = tfd.JointDistributionSequential([
    tfd.Normal(0., 1.),
    lambda z: tfd.Normal(z, 1.)
], validate_args=True)
jd.dtype
# ==> [tf.float32, tf.float32]
z, x = sample = jd.sample()
# The following calling styles are all permissable and produce the exactly
# the same output.
assert (jd.unnormalized_log_prob(sample) ==
        jd.unnormalized_log_prob(value=sample) ==
        jd.unnormalized_log_prob(z, x) ==
        jd.unnormalized_log_prob(z=z, x=x) ==
        jd.unnormalized_log_prob(z, x=x))

# These calling possibilities also imply that one can also use `*`
# expansion, if `sample` is a sequence:
jd.unnormalized_log_prob(*sample)
# and similarly, if `sample` is a map, one can use `**` expansion:
jd.unnormalized_log_prob(**sample)

trivial_jd = tfd.JointDistributionSequential([tfd.Exponential(1.)])
trivial_jd.dtype  # => [tf.float32]
trivial_jd.unnormalized_log_prob([4.])
# ==> Tensor with shape `[]`.
lp = trivial_jd.unnormalized_log_prob(4.)
# ==> Tensor with shape `[]`.

Notice that in the first call, [4.] is interpreted as a list of one scalar while in the second call the input is a scalar. Hence both inputs result in identical scalar outputs. If we wanted to pass an explicit vector to the Exponential component---creating a vector-shaped batch of unnormalized_log_probs---we could instead write trivial_jd.unnormalized_log_prob(np.array([4])).

Args
`*args`	Positional arguments: a `value` structure or component values (see above).
`**kwargs`	Keyword arguments: a `value` structure or component values (see above). May also include `name`, specifying a Python string name for ops generated by this method.

Returns
`log_prob`	a `Tensor` of shape `sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape` with values of type `self.dtype`.

`unnormalized_log_prob_parts`

View source

unnormalized_log_prob_parts(
    value, name='unnormalized_log_prob_parts'
)

Unnormalized log probability density/mass function.

Args
`value`	`list` of `Tensor`s in `distribution_fn` order for which we compute the `unnormalized_log_prob_parts` and to parameterize other ("downstream") distributions.
`name`	name prepended to ops created by this function. Default value: `"unnormalized_log_prob_parts"`.

Returns
`unnormalized_log_prob_parts`	a `tuple` of `Tensor`s representing the `unnormalized_log_prob` for each `distribution_fn` evaluated at each corresponding `value`.

`unnormalized_prob_parts`

View source

unnormalized_prob_parts(
    value, name='unnormalized_prob_parts'
)

Unnormalized probability density/mass function.

Args
`value`	`list` of `Tensor`s in `distribution_fn` order for which we compute the `unnormalized_prob_parts` and to parameterize other ("downstream") distributions.
`name`	name prepended to ops created by this function. Default value: `"unnormalized_prob_parts"`.

Returns
`unnormalized_prob_parts`	a `tuple` of `Tensor`s representing the `unnormalized_prob` for each `distribution_fn` evaluated at each corresponding `value`.

`variance`

View source

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

Variance.

Variance is defined as,

Var = E[(X - E[X])**2]

where X is the random variable associated with this distribution, E denotes expectation, and Var.shape = batch_shape + event_shape.

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

Returns
`variance`	Floating-point `Tensor` with shape identical to `batch_shape + event_shape`, i.e., the same shape as `self.mean()`.

`with_name_scope`

@classmethod
with_name_scope(
    method
)

Decorator to automatically enter the module name scope.

class MyModule(tf.Module):
  @tf.Module.with_name_scope
  def __call__(self, x):
    if not hasattr(self, 'w'):
      self.w = tf.Variable(tf.random.normal([x.shape[1], 3]))
    return tf.matmul(x, self.w)

Using the above module would produce tf.Variables and tf.Tensors whose names included the module name:

mod = MyModule()
mod(tf.ones([1, 2]))
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1, 3), dtype=float32, numpy=..., dtype=float32)>
mod.w
<tf.Variable 'my_module/Variable:0' shape=(2, 3) dtype=float32,
numpy=..., dtype=float32)>

Args
`method`	The method to wrap.

Returns
The original method wrapped such that it enters the module's name scope.

`getitem`

View source

__getitem__(
    slices
)

Slices the batch axes of this distribution, returning a new instance.

b = tfd.Bernoulli(logits=tf.zeros([3, 5, 7, 9]))
b.batch_shape  # => [3, 5, 7, 9]
b2 = b[:, tf.newaxis, ..., -2:, 1::2]
b2.batch_shape  # => [3, 1, 5, 2, 4]

x = tf.random.normal([5, 3, 2, 2])
cov = tf.matmul(x, x, transpose_b=True)
chol = tf.linalg.cholesky(cov)
loc = tf.random.normal([4, 1, 3, 1])
mvn = tfd.MultivariateNormalTriL(loc, chol)
mvn.batch_shape  # => [4, 5, 3]
mvn.event_shape  # => [2]
mvn2 = mvn[:, 3:, ..., ::-1, tf.newaxis]
mvn2.batch_shape  # => [4, 2, 3, 1]
mvn2.event_shape  # => [2]

Args
`slices`	slices from the [] operator

Returns
`dist`	A new `tfd.Distribution` instance with sliced parameters.
