Difference of arctan(x) and arctan(y).
tfp.math.atan_difference(
x, y, name=None
)
Computes arctan(x) - arctan(y) avoiding catastrophic cancellation. This is by resorting to the identity:
arctan(x) - arctan(y) = arctan((x - y) / (1 + x * y)) +
pi * sign(x) * 1_{x * y < -1)
where 1_A
is the indicator function on the set A
.
For a derivation of this fact, see [1].
