This class represents the distribution over function values at a set of points
in some index set, conditioned on noisy observations at some other set of
points. More specifically, we assume a Gaussian process prior, f ~ GP(m, k)
with IID normal noise on observations of function values. In this model
posterior inference can be done analytically. This Distribution
is
parameterized by
- the mean and covariance functions of the GP prior,
- the set of (noisy) observations and index points to which they correspond,
- the set of index points at which the resulting posterior predictive distribution over function values is defined,
- the observation noise variance,
- jitter, to compensate for numerical instability of Cholesky decomposition,
in addition to the usual params like validate_args
and allow_nan_stats
.
Mathematical Details
Gaussian process regression (GPR) assumes a Gaussian process (GP) prior and a
normal likelihood as a generative model for data. Given GP mean function m
,
covariance kernel k
, and observation noise variance v
, we have
f ~ GP(m, k)
iid
(y[i] | f, x[i]) ~ Normal(f(x[i]), v), i = 1, ... , N
where y[i]
are the noisy observations of function values at points x[i]
.
In practice, f
is an infinite object (eg, a function over R^n
) which can't
be realized on a finite machine, but fortunately the marginal distribution
over function values at a finite set of points is just a multivariate normal
with mean and covariance given by the mean and covariance functions applied at
our finite set of points (see [Rasmussen and Williams, 2006][1] for a more
extensive discussion of these facts).
We spell out the generative model in detail below, but first, a digression on
notation. In what follows we drop the indices on vectorial objects such as
x[i]
, it being implied that we are generally considering finite collections
of index points and corresponding function values and noisy observations
thereof. Thus x
should be considered to stand for a collection of index
points (indeed, themselves often vectorial). Furthermore:
f(x)
refers to the collection of function values at the index points in the collectionx
",m(t)
refers to the collection of values of the mean function at the index points in the collectiont
, andk(x, t)
refers to the matrix whose entries are values of the kernel functionk
at all pairs of index points fromx
andt
.
With these conventions in place, we may write
(f(x) | x) ~ MVN(m(x), k(x, x))
(y | f(x), x) ~ Normal(f(x), v)
When we condition on observed data y
at the points x
, we can derive the
posterior distribution over function values f(x)
at those points. We can
then compute the posterior predictive distribution over function values f(t)
at a new set of points t
, conditional on those observed data.
(f(t) | t, x, y) ~ MVN(loc, cov)
where
loc = m(t) + k(t, x) @ inv(k(x, x) + v * I) @ (y - m(x))
cov = k(t, t) - k(t, x) @ inv(k(x, x) + v * I) @ k(x, t)
where I
is the identity matrix of appropriate dimension. Finally, the
distribution over noisy observations at the new set of points t
is obtained
by adding IID noise from Normal(0., observation_noise_variance)
.

Above, we have used the kernel with default parameters, which are unlikely to be good. Instead, we can train the kernel hyperparameters on the data, as in the next example.
Optimize model parameters via maximum marginal likelihood
Here we learn the kernel parameters as well as the observation noise variance using gradient descent on the maximum marginal likelihood.

# here).

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

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.

experimental_default_event_space_bijector
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
.

parameters are checked for validity despite possibly degrading runtime
performance. When False , invalid inputs may silently render incorrect
outputs.

**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. .

sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape with values of type self.dtype .

return x, self.log_prob(x, **kwargs)

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
@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.ParameterPropertiesdict mapping constructor argument names to ParameterProperties`
instances.
|
Raises | |
---|---|
NotImplementedError
|
if the distribution class does not implement
_parameter_properties .
|
posterior_predictive
posterior_predictive(
observations, predictive_index_points=None, **kwargs
)
Return the posterior predictive distribution associated with this distribution.
Returns the posterior predictive distribution p(Y' | X, Y, X')
where:
X'
ispredictive_index_points
X
isself.index_points
.Y
isobservations
.
This is equivalent to using the
GaussianProcessRegressionModel.precompute_regression_model
method.
Args | |
---|---|
observations
|
float Tensor representing collection, or batch of
collections, of observations corresponding to
self.index_points . Shape has the form [b1, ..., bB, e] , which
must be broadcastable with the batch and example shapes of
self.index_points . The batch shape [b1, ..., bB] must be
broadcastable with the shapes of all other batched parameters
|
predictive_index_points
|
(nested) Tensor representing finite collection,
or batch of collections, of points in the index set over which the GP
is defined. Shape (or shape of each nested component) has the form
[b1, ..., bB, e, f1, ..., fF] where F is the number of feature
dimensions and must equal kernel.feature_ndims (or its
corresponding nested component) and e is the number (size) of
predictive index points in each batch. The batch shape must be
broadcastable with this distributions batch_shape .
Default value: None .
|
**kwargs
|
Any other keyword arguments to pass / override. |
Returns | |
---|---|
gprm
|
An instance of Distribution that represents the posterior
predictive.
|
precompute_regression_model
@staticmethod
precompute_regression_model( kernel, observation_index_points, observations, observations_is_missing=None, index_points=None, observation_noise_variance=0.0, predictive_noise_variance=None, mean_fn=None, cholesky_fn=None, jitter=1e-06, validate_args=False, allow_nan_stats=False, name='PrecomputedGaussianProcessRegressionModel', _precomputed_divisor_matrix_cholesky=None, _precomputed_solve_on_observation=None )
Returns a GaussianProcessRegressionModel with precomputed quantities.
This differs from the constructor by precomputing quantities associated with
observations in a non-tape safe way. index_points
is the only parameter
that is allowed to vary (i.e. is a Variable
/ changes after
initialization).
Specifically:
- We make
observation_index_points
andobservations
mandatory parameters. - We precompute
kernel(observation_index_points, observation_index_points)
along with any other associated quantities relating to thekernel
,observations
andobservation_index_points
.
A typical usecase would be optimizing kernel hyperparameters for a
GaussianProcess
, and computing the posterior predictive with respect to
those optimized hyperparameters and observation / index-points pairs.
Args | |
---|---|
kernel
|
PositiveSemidefiniteKernel -like instance representing the
GP's covariance function.
|
observation_index_points
|
(nested) Tensor representing finite
collection, or batch of collections, of points in the index set for
which some data has been observed. Shape (or shape of each nested
component) has the form [b1, ..., bB, e, f1, ..., fF] where F is
the number of feature dimensions and must equal
kernel.feature_ndims (or its corresponding nested component), and
e is the number (size) of index points in each batch. [b1, ...,
bB, e] must be broadcastable with the shape of observations , and
[b1, ..., bB] must be broadcastable with the shapes of all other
batched parameters (kernel.batch_shape , index_points , etc). The
default value is None , which corresponds to the empty set of
observations, and simply results in the prior predictive model (a GP
with noise of variance predictive_noise_variance ).
|
observations
|
float Tensor representing collection, or batch of
collections, of observations corresponding to
observation_index_points . Shape has the form [b1, ..., bB, e] , which
must be brodcastable with the batch and example shapes of
observation_index_points . The batch shape [b1, ..., bB] must be
broadcastable with the shapes of all other batched parameters
(kernel.batch_shape , index_points , etc.). The default value is
None , which corresponds to the empty set of observations, and simply
results in the prior predictive model (a GP with noise of variance
predictive_noise_variance ).
|
observations_is_missing
|
bool Tensor of shape [..., e] ,
representing a batch of boolean masks. When observations_is_missing
is not None , the returned distribution is conditioned only on the
observations for which the corresponding elements of
observations_is_missing are True .
|
index_points
|
(nested) Tensor representing finite collection, or batch
of collections, of points in the index set over which the GP is defined.
Shape (or shape of each nested component) has the form [b1, ..., bB,
e, f1, ..., fF] where F is the number of feature dimensions and
must equal kernel.feature_ndims (or its corresponding nested
component) and e is the number (size) of index points in each
batch. Ultimately this distribution corresponds to an e -dimensional
multivariate normal. The batch shape must be broadcastable with
kernel.batch_shape and any batch dims yielded by mean_fn .
|
observation_noise_variance
|
float Tensor representing the variance
of the noise in the Normal likelihood distribution of the model. May be
batched, in which case the batch shape must be broadcastable with the
shapes of all other batched parameters (kernel.batch_shape ,
index_points , etc.).
Default value: 0.
|
predictive_noise_variance
|
float Tensor representing the variance in
the posterior predictive model. If None , we simply re-use
observation_noise_variance for the posterior predictive noise. If set
explicitly, however, we use this value. This allows us, for example, to
omit predictive noise variance (by setting this to zero) to obtain
noiseless posterior predictions of function values, conditioned on noisy
observations.
|
mean_fn
|
Python callable that acts on index_points to produce a
collection, or batch of collections, of mean values at index_points .
Takes a (nested) Tensor of shape [b1, ..., bB, e, f1, ..., fF] and
returns a Tensor whose shape is broadcastable with [b1, ..., bB, e] .
Default value: None implies the constant zero function.
|
cholesky_fn
|
Callable which takes a single (batch) matrix argument and
returns a Cholesky-like lower triangular factor. Default value: None ,
in which case make_cholesky_with_jitter_fn is used with the jitter
parameter.
|
jitter
|
float scalar Tensor added to the diagonal of the covariance
matrix to ensure positive definiteness of the covariance matrix.
Default value: 1e-6 .
|
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 .
|
allow_nan_stats
|
Python bool , default True . When True ,
statistics (e.g., mean, mode, variance) use the value NaN to
indicate the result is undefined. When False , an exception is raised
if one or more of the statistic's batch members are undefined.
Default value: False .
|
name
|
Python str name prefixed to Ops created by this class.
Default value: 'PrecomputedGaussianProcessRegressionModel'.

_precomputed_divisor_matrix_cholesky
