|---| | [ View source on GitHub](https://github.com/tensorflow/probability/blob/v0.25.0/tensorflow_probability/python/experimental/mcmc/weighted_resampling.py#L490-L581) | Deterministic minimum error resampler for sequential Monte Carlo. tfp.experimental.mcmc.resample_deterministic_minimum_error( log_probs, event_size, sample_shape, seed=None, name='resample_deterministic_minimum_error' ) The return value of this function is similar to sampling with expanded_sample_shape = tf.concat([sample_shape, [event_size]]), axis=-1) tfd.Categorical(logits=log_probs).sample(expanded_sample_shape)` but with values chosen deterministically so that the empirical distribution is as close as possible to the specified distribution. (Note that the empirical distribution can only exactly equal the requested distribution if multiplying every probability by `event_size` gives an integer. So in general this is a biased "sampler".) It is intended to provide a good representative sample, suitable for use with some Sequential Monte Carlo algorithms. This function is based on Algorithm #3 in \[Maskell et al. (2006)\]\[1\].


| ## Args || |---|---| | `log_probs` | a tensor-valued batch of discrete log probability distributions. | | `event_size` | the dimension of the vector considered a single draw. | | `sample_shape` | the `sample_shape` determining the number of draws. Because this resampler is deterministic it simply replicates the draw you would get for `sample_shape=[1]`. | | `seed` | This argument is unused but is present so that this function shares its interface with the other resampling functions. Default value: None | | `name` | Python `str` name for ops created by this method. Default value: `None` (i.e., `'resample_deterministic_minimum_error'`). |



| ## Returns || |---|---| | `resampled_indices` | a tensor of samples. |
